By uploading a specially crafted document with base64-encoded malicious code, an attacker could trick the AI into executing JavaScript that steals a user's session token (a credential stored in browser memory that proves who you are), leading to complete account takeover.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security"],"sourceUrl":"https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2024/deepseek-ai-prompt-injection-to-xss-and-account-takeover/","publishedAt":"2024-11-29T22:00:39.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"high","attackType":["prompt_injection","data_extraction"],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":["DeepSeek","DeepSeek-R1-Lite"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":null,"capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["confidentiality","integrity"],"aiComponentTargeted":"api","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
