tldr

  • it affects the desktop app of chatgpt, but likely any client that features long term memory functionality.
  • does not apply to the web interface.
  • does not apply to API access.
  • the data exfiltration is visible to the user as GPT streams the tokens that form the exfiltration URL as a (fake) markdown image.
