The Domain Name System (DNS), which resolves domain names into IP addresses.<\/p>\n<p>The Check Point security bods explain that, while OpenAI prevents ChatGPT from communicating with the internet without authorization, it didn&#8217;t have any controls on data smuggled via DNS.<\/p>\n<p>The security biz created three proof-of-concept attacks that show how this side channel might be abused. One involved a &#8220;GPT,&#8221; a third-party app implementing ChatGPT APIs, that served as a personal health analyst.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",fluid,mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",fluid,mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",fluid,mpu,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44acsiAFdf0_PitoJb1zk8qwAAAFg&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44acsiAFdf0_PitoJb1zk8qwAAAFg&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>In the demonstration, a user uploaded a PDF containing laboratory results and personal information for the GPT to interpret.
