BioShocking prompts AI browsers into data theft

LayerX’s BioShocking reveals a prompt-injection technique that can mislead AI-powered browsers into treating real-world risky actions as fictional, bypassing safety guardrails. In a PoC, six agentic browsers (ChatGPT Atlas, Comet, Fellou, Genspark Browser, Sigma Browser, Claude Chrome plugin) were shown a final task that instructed them to visit a GitHub repo and copy sensitive data (including passwords), after which they failed to identify it as a threat. OpenAI reportedly patched the issue in ChatGPT Atlas; Anthropic’s Chrome plugin fix was ineffective; Perplexity AI did not fix the problem. The researchers urge explicit user confirmations for sensitive actions, stronger context checks, and tighter session scope, while users should restrict AI browser access to sensitive services.

BioShocking: AI Browsers Tricked into Exfiltrating Credentials

Security firm LayerX exposed BioShocking, a prompt-injection attack that can force AI browsers/assistants to exfiltrate credentials by turning a web page into a game; six AI agents were tested, including OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity's Comet, and Anthropic's Claude extension; the exploit leverages how pages and instructions arrive as a single text stream, blurring safety rules and enabling data access from signed-in sessions; OpenAI patched Atlas, Perplexity did not act, and other vendors either did not respond or patches did not hold; defenses include requiring explicit consent before reading from logged-in accounts and implementing hard limits on what an agent can access, with users and security teams treating AI browsers as elevated tools with narrow permissions.
