New BioShocking attack manipulates AI browser into data theft
A new prompt injection attack dubbed “BioShocking” could trick AI-powered browsers into treating real-world risky actions as part of a fictional scenario, causing them to ignore any safety guardrails. A proof-of-concept (PoC) for the attack, devised by researchers at LayerX, was successfully tested against six mainstream agentic browser products (ChatGPT Atlas, Comet, Fellou, Genspark Browser, […]
Fake Perplexity extension on Chrome Web Store tracked searches
A malicious extension in the Chrome Web Store is masquerading as the Perplexity AI answer engine, intercepting search traffic and collecting browsing information. Called “Search for perplexity ai,” the extension routed search queries and real-time suggestions through its infrastructure before redirecting users to the legitimate search services. Microsoft Threat Intelligence researchers said that the extension […]
Clean GitHub repo tricks AI coding agents into running malware
An agentic coding tool tasked with cloning and setting up a seemingly benign GitHub repository could execute a malicious payload that remains invisible to security scanners, AI agents, and human reviewers. Researchers at Mozilla’s Zero Day Investigative Network (0DIN) AI security platform say that the compromise happens with “no exploit code, no warning, no suspicious […]
