Researchers Find Critical Security Flaws in OpenAI's AI-Powered Browser

Security researchers at Zenity discovered over a dozen vulnerabilities in AI-powered browsers, including OpenAI's Atlas. The flaws were serious enough to allow attackers to hijack the browser and perform unauthorized actions on behalf of users. In a proof-of-concept demonstration, researchers successfully manipulated Atlas into making an unauthorized purchase on Amazon. The vulnerabilities also exposed the potential for the browser to be exploited to spam a user's WhatsApp contacts without their knowledge or consent.
