Summary
Operator has several safety checks through user confirmation to mitigate Indirect Prompt Injection attacks.
However, an attacker can exfiltrate sensitive information without user confirmation by crafting a page with:
- A link which redirects to sensitive information (e.g. OAuth code), but it does not provide useful information on the screen (or simply just an error page).
- A text which asks Operator to provide the redirected URL to help fix the error.
Given this flow looks normal (i.e. without a classic prompt-injection-looking instruction), and Operator has agency to try a variety of actions (as long as the chain of actions are not out of context), this results in leaking a cross-origin URL that is very sensitive.
For stealthiness, the PoC only works on Operator’s browser, by detecting the availability of Operator’s Chrome extension in the browser.
Severity
High - allows an attacker to exfiltrate highly sensitive information, like OAuth codes, by cleverly bypassing user confirmation.
