Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"While looking at Comet, we discovered vulnerabilities which we reported to Perplexity, and which underline the security challenges faced by agentic AI implementations in browsers. The attack demonstrates how easy it is to manipulate AI assistants into performing actions that were prevented by long-standing Web security techniques, and how users need new security and privacy protections in agentic browsers. </p><p>The vulnerability we’re discussing in this post lies in how Comet processes webpage content: when users ask it to “Summarize this webpage,” Comet feeds a part of the webpage directly to its LLM without distinguishing between the user’s instructions and untrusted content from the webpage. This allows attackers to embed indirect prompt injection payloads that the AI will execute as commands. For instance, an attacker could gain access to a user’s emails from a prepared piece of text in a page in another tab."</p><p><a href="https://brave.com/blog/comet-prompt-injection/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">brave.com/blog/comet-prompt-in</span><span class="invisible">jection/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AgenticAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgenticAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Perplexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Perplexity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PerplexityComet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PerplexityComet</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PromptInjection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PromptInjection</span></a></p>

Yep...

"Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, one of the world's biggest by circulation, is suing U.S.-based AI firm Perplexity for allegedly "free-riding" on its content on its search engine.
The lawsuit filed Thursday is one of a slew by media companies worldwide against AI firms using their material and is the first by a major Japanese news organization, Yomiuri said.

It accuses Perplexity of "free-riding on the results of the activities of news organizations, which have invested a great deal of effort and expense."

A spokesman for the paper added that this "could have a negative impact on accurate journalism ... and shake the foundations of democracy."
(...)
After a lawsuit by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post in October, Perplexity criticized the "adversarial posture" of many media as "shortsighted, unnecessary, and self-defeating."

They "prefer to live in a world where publicly reported facts are owned by corporations, and no one can do anything with those publicly reported facts without paying a toll," it said.

"We should all be working together to offer people amazing new tools and build genuinely pie-expanding businesses.""
