🟠 High | Source: The Register — Security
Researchers discovered a flaw in OpenAI’s ChatGPT that could allow a malicious link to deploy a rogue AI agent within a corporate environment, inheriting the victim’s access and permissions. Once triggered, the agent could operate autonomously — exfiltrating data, sending messages, or performing actions on behalf of the compromised user. This represents a novel prompt injection attack vector that bypasses traditional security controls by exploiting trusted AI tooling.
Security Architect’s Take: Review and restrict ChatGPT’s integration permissions within your organisation — apply least-privilege scopes to any OAuth or API connections, and consider blocking or monitoring external ChatGPT shared links at the proxy or DLP layer until OpenAI confirms a full patch. Treat AI agents as you would any third-party with delegated access: audit what they can reach and ensure actions require explicit human approval where possible.
Original advisory: One ChatGPT link could smuggle a rogue AI agent into your company
