A new cybersecurity vulnerability has been found in OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas web browser, and it’s raising some serious alarms. Researchers say this exploit lets attackers inject harmful commands into the AI’s memory, which could lead to all sorts of trouble. Or Eshed, the CEO of LayerX Security, explained that hackers could use this flaw to plant malware, gain access to privileges, or even take control of your devices when you're just trying to use ChatGPT.
The issue stems from a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) flaw, which allows these malicious instructions to stick around across sessions and devices. So, if you're logged into ChatGPT, you might unknowingly become a target. This vulnerability is a reminder that while AI tech can be super helpful, it also comes with risks that you need to stay aware of. Keep an eye on updates from OpenAI, and be cautious about your online activities.
