OpenAI’s Browser Could Be Hijacked to Spam Your WhatsApp Contacts
Zenity researchers discovered over a dozen vulnerabilities in AI browsing tools, including the ability to hijack OpenAI's Atlas browser to perform unauthorized actions such as making Amazon purchases. The flaws could allow attackers to abuse the tool to send unwanted messages through WhatsApp or perform other malicious transactions on behalf of users.
Why it matters: Organizations deploying AI browsers for automated tasks face supply chain and fraud risk if these agents can be manipulated to access user accounts and execute purchases or communications without authorization.

OpenAI’s Browser Could Be Hijacked to Spam Your WhatsApp Contacts
Security researchers at Zenity identified over a dozen vulnerabilities in browsers powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and showed that OpenAI’s Atlas could be forced to complete an unapproved Amazon transaction. The flaws could let attackers manipulate the browser to send spam messages through the victim’s WhatsApp contacts.
Why it matters: Users of OpenAI’s Atlas browser and their WhatsApp contacts are at risk of unauthorized purchases and spam, so practitioners should monitor for AI browser hijacking attempts.
