ChatGPT’s Cloud Glitch: The Vulnerability That Almost Unleashed the Azure Apocalypse!
A bug bounty hunter discovered a ChatGPT vulnerability that could have exposed its Azure cloud infrastructure. By exploiting a flaw in the ‘Actions’ section for Custom GPTs, attackers could conduct a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack. OpenAI quickly patched the issue, which was reported through their bug bounty program.
Hot Take:
Who knew ChatGPT had a bit of an exhibitionist side? Thanks to a sneaky vulnerability, some of its cloud infrastructure was left peeking out from behind the digital curtain. But fear not, this AI isn’t going rogue, thanks to a vigilant bug bounty hunter who caught it with its digital pants down.
Key Points:
- A bug bounty hunter discovered a vulnerability in ChatGPT’s custom GPT ‘Actions’ section.
- The flaw allowed for a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack, potentially exposing ChatGPT’s cloud infrastructure.
- The vulnerability was reported and patched by OpenAI, rated as ‘high severity’.
- It remains unclear if a significant bug bounty was awarded for this discovery.
- SSRF vulnerabilities have been a significant concern in cybersecurity, highlighted by their place in the OWASP Top 10.
