Researchers have identified significant security vulnerabilities within the ChatGPT ecosystem that potentially allow attackers to access users' accounts on third-party websites, such as GitHub, without their consent. These vulnerabilities were found both in the core ChatGPT platform and its plugins. They expose sensitive data and enable account takeovers through exploitation of the OAuth authentication process and other flaws in plugin frameworks.
