Atlas browser CSRF flaw lets attackers poison ChatGPT memory
⚠️ Researchers at LayerX disclosed a vulnerability in ChatGPT Atlas that can let attackers inject hidden instructions into a user's memory via a CSRF vector, contaminating stored context and persisting across sessions and devices. The exploit works by tricking an authenticated user to visit a malicious page which issues a CSRF request to silently write memory entries that later influence assistant responses. Detection requires behavioral hunting—correlating browser logs, exported chats and timestamped memory changes—since there are no file-based indicators. Administrators are advised to limit Atlas in enterprise pilots, export and review chat histories, and treat affected accounts as compromised until memory is cleared and credentials rotated.
