Quick access to ChatGPT Browser Extension
Summary
However, in reality, it was designed to collect a wide range of information from the victims browser and steal cookies of all authorized active sessions. These findings underscore the need for internet users to be cautious when installing browser extensions, especially those promising quick access to popular services. For example, before granting access via its Meta Graph API, Facebook first verifies that the request is from an authenticated user and a trusted origin. This gives the extension the ability to freely browse any Facebook page, including making API calls and actions, using the infected browser, and without leaving any trace. The ease with which the extension could circumvent Facebooks security measures underscores the need for online platforms to be vigilant in detecting and preventing such malicious activity.
