Navigating the Pitfalls of OpenAI's GPTs

OpenAI's GPT Store, a marketplace for customizable chatbots, is set to launch soon, but users should exercise caution when uploading sensitive information as research from Adversa AI reveals that GPTs can leak data about their construction, including source documents, through strategic questioning. Prompt leaking, a vulnerability in GPTs, allows hackers to copy someone's GPT, posing a security risk for those hoping to monetize their creations. Additionally, prompt leaking can expose the documents and data used to train a GPT, limiting developers' ability to build applications. OpenAI is constantly patching vulnerabilities, but the discovery of new ones poses challenges for the widespread adoption of GPTs.

"Data Leakage and Privacy Vulnerabilities Found in Google Pixel and Windows 11 Screenshots"

This could potentially lead to unintended data leakage if the new image was shared or uploaded to a cloud service. Google has patched the bug in the March 2023 security update of Android, but users may want to revisit previously shared images or consider editing security-critical images conservatively on their laptops using command-line image manipulation tools.
