    Agreed. In December I reported a data exfil in OpenAI Agent Builder and it was also closed as Not Applicable, so it's probably still there. It's also unclear if anyone from OpenAI …

    Claude (generally, even non Cowork mode) is vulnerable to exfil via their APIs, and Anthropic's response was that you should click the stop button if exfiltration occurs. This is a…

    In case some of you find it entertaining. When MCP came out I had a flashback to COM/DCOM days, like IDispatch and list/tools. So, I built an MCP server that can host any COM serve…

    Cool stuff. Interestingly, I responsibly disclosed that same vulnerability to Google last week (even using the same domain bypass with webhook.site). For other (publicly) known iss…
