Security researchers have identified a zero-click vulnerability in xAI's Grok chatbot that allows attackers to exfiltrate user data. The exploit involves embedding malicious commands within AES-256-GCM encrypted text, which Grok then decrypts and executes using its Python code-execution environment. This allows the chatbot to send sensitive information such as user name, location, subscription tier, and chat history to an attacker-controlled server without any user interaction. AI
