Researchers exploit ChatGPT vulnerability to take over accounts via shared links · 5 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

Researchers discovered a significant vulnerability in OpenAI's ChatGPT that allowed for account takeovers through specially crafted shared links. The exploit leveraged a complex chain involving HTML previews and the MathLive JavaScript library, bypassing ChatGPT's sandbox and content security policy. By tricking the MathLive library into rendering malicious HTML, attackers could inject code that executed within a user's authenticated session, enabling them to access private conversations and perform actions on behalf of the user. OpenAI has since patched the vulnerability and issued a bug bounty. AI
