The rising popularity of AI browsers has highlighted new security challenges. The Perplexity AI’s Comet browser has been found to contain a critical security flaw. This flaw puts users at risk of having their personal data, like email addresses and login credentials, stolen by hackers. The vulnerability stems from how the AI assistant within the browser processes and summarizes webpage content. This creates a significant risk, especially when users interact with websites designed to exploit the vulnerability. The capability of hackers to initiate attacks through natural language further elevates the threat.
