Plugin Vulnerabilities: Visit a Website and Have Your Source Code Stolen
Summary
OpenAI's plugin store contains security vulnerabilities, particularly in plugins that can act on behalf of users without adequate security review. These plugins are susceptible to prompt injection attacks (tricking an AI by hiding instructions in its input) and the Confused Deputy Problem (where an attacker can manipulate a plugin into performing harmful actions by exploiting its trust in the AI system), allowing adversaries to steal source code or cause other damage.
