According to security company Brave Software, the Perplexity AI browser has a serious security vulnerability named Comet, which allows attackers to embed hidden commands in web pages to trick the AI assistant into leaking users' private data, including emails and codes. Brave researchers demonstrated that when users ask Comet to summarize Reddit pages containing hidden commands, the AI assistant executes these commands. Despite Perplexity claiming the issue was fixed before being discovered and stating that no user data was leaked, Brave insists that the vulnerability can still be exploited weeks after the fix, and warns that Comet's design architecture makes it susceptible to further attacks.
