OpenAI recognizes the importance of the contributions and is committed to acknowledging the efforts of security researchers.
Staying Secure Together
OpenAI recognizes the critical importance of security and views it as a collaborative effort. The organization invites the security research community to participate in its Bug Bounty Program. OpenAI believes that the security research community's expertise and vigilance will have a direct impact on keeping its systems and users secure.
ChatGPT got Pwned
Recently, security researcher, Nagali found a critical account takeover vulnerability in the OpenAI ChatGPT application that allowed an attacker to take over someone's account, access their chat history, and view their billing information without their knowledge.
The bug allows Nagali to takeover someone's account, view their chat history, and access their billing information without them ever realizing it.
Additionally, OpenAI just fixed the user data leak and payment info exposure flaw in its platform due to a bug in the open-source library.
Conclusion
OpenAI is committed to ensuring the safety and security of its AI systems, and the Bug Bounty Program is an essential step in achieving that goal. By inviting the security research community to participate in identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, OpenAI is taking a proactive approach to strengthen AI security.
