The issue was found in ChatGPT’s Deep Research agent, a tool launched in February to help users analyze large troves of information. The vulnerability could have enabled attackers to siphon sensitive data from corporate or personal Gmail accounts, according to the findings. ChatGPT users who linked their Gmail accounts to the service may have unknowingly exposed their data to hackers, Radware researchers said.
