Account hijacking via unsanitized pasted SVG
Published Jul 22, 2025 · Updated Jul 22, 2025
Cross-site scripting in ChatGPT Unli through 2025-05-26 allows remote attackers to steal session cookies via an SVG pasted into chat. The chat interface renders pasted SVG markup without neutralizing its embedded script element, causing the browser to run the payload in the site's origin. Exploitation requires a victim to paste the crafted markup; successful execution exposes session and token cookies and enables account hijacking.
