The researchers found around 20 flaws, which allowed them to access local machines, grab files, take over a password manager, and leak someone\u2019s entire browsing history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThey have nerfed the security control of browsers\u2014we are now back to seeing the kinds of attacks that you saw on browsers 20 years ago,\u201d says Michael Bargury, cofounder and CTO of Zenity, who is presenting the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/labs.zenity.io\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/labs.zenity.io\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/labs.zenity.io\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">findings<\/a> at the security conference with Zenity\u2019s Stav Cohen <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/blackhat.com\/us-26\/briefings\/schedule\/?#pwning-agentic-browsers-with-pleasefix-a-new-vulnerability-class-for-0-click-takeover-53888\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/blackhat.com\/us-26\/briefings\/schedule\/?#pwning-agentic-browsers-with-pleasefix-a-new-vulnerability-class-for-0-click-takeover-53888&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/blackhat.com\/us-26\/briefings\/schedule\/?#pwning-agentic-browsers-with-pleasefix-a-new-vulnerability-class-for-0-click-takeover-53888\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and<\/a> other colleagues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">So far, AI web browser integrations have largely come in two forms: dedicated browsers with AI assistants included and extensions that add AI products into existing browsers. These bots can navigate websites for you\u2014summarizing entire pages in seconds, for instance\u2014and setups nclude agents that can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/google-chrome-auto-browse\/\" class=\"text link\">take actions on your behalf<\/a>, often working across multiple different tabs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Security alarm bells have <a href=\"https:\/\/agent-security.cs.washington.edu\/agentic_browsers_sop.html\" class=\"text link\">rung<\/a> ever since tech companies started racing to introduce agents into web browsing.

However, the researchers could still bypass them to manipulate the system. Other browsing tools were much easier to hack, they say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In the first proof-of-concept attack, Zenity researchers asked Atlas to sign up to a newsletter link that they posted on X. The malicious webpage containing the sign-up process includes instructions, written in Hebrew, telling the AI to navigate to the user\u2019s signed-in WhatsApp web account and send every contact the same message. The researchers describe it as a \u201cmass phishing campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The attack\u2014which does not exploit a vulnerability in WhatsApp\u2014works by getting around multiple security mechanisms put in place by OpenAI, Bargury says. A <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/labs.zenity.io\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/labs.zenity.io\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/labs.zenity.io\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">blog post<\/a> details how the researchers claim to have got past safety measures, including designing a newsletter sign-up page that looked legitimate and not something trying to hack people, writing in Hebrew to dodge English-language security tools, and claiming (falsely) that the system was using a sandboxed version of WhatsApp web with fake people, not the real thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cWhat it\u2019ll do is go through each and every one of the contacts and send the instructions to join this newsletter as well\u2014so this is a worm,\u201d Bargury says. \u201cSo you are now infecting the rest of your friends and family.\u201d (WhatsApp declined to comment on the findings.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The researchers say the attack is an example of what they call \u201cintent collision,\u201d where the AI merges legitimate instructions from a user and malicious instructions from the web to complete a hackers\u2019 goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Next, the researchers turned to Amazon. Using a similar approach\u2014getting Atlas to sign up to a fake newsletter page with malicious instructions\u2014the researchers made the browser add a shipping address to a logged-in Amazon account and add a tablet to the shopping cart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/openais-browser-could-be-hijacked-to-spam-your-whatsapp-contacts\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI\u2019s Atlas web browser could have security protections bypassed and be tricked into spamming dozens of WhatsApp contacts or making unauthorized purchases on Amazon, according to new research presented today at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas.
