Flaw in Lenovo's customer service AI chatbot could let hackers run malicious code, breach networks
Briefly

Lenovo's AI chatbot, Lena, contains a vulnerability that enables attackers to exploit cross-site scripting (XSS) to inject malicious code. This code can steal session cookies with a single, lengthy prompt asking for legitimate information. The attack method involves prompting the chatbot to return responses in a specific format and then instructing it to load a non-existent image, which triggers requests to the attacker's server, revealing sensitive cookie data. This flaw poses serious risks for customer privacy and corporate security, allowing unauthorized access to support systems by using stolen credentials.
