New ChatGPT Atlas Browser Exploit Lets Attackers Plant Persistent Hidden Commands - The Hacker News

thehackernews.com ยท Oct 27, 2025 05:30

A critical vulnerability in OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas browser leverages a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) flaw to inject malicious instructions into the AI's persistent memory. This allows attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution and gain control over user accounts or systems across sessions, triggered by legitimate user interaction with the compromised AI.
