A single ~400-character prompt was enough to hijack Lenovo’s AI website chatbot. By switching the bot’s output to HTML and injecting a malicious payload, researchers triggered XSS, executed code, and exfiltrated session cookies—even snagging an agent’s cookies after escalation.
This video breaks down the four prompt elements, the root cause (weak input/output sanitisation + “people-pleasing” LLMs), and the real risks: data theft, support system compromise, and lateral movement. We finish with practical guardrails and why bug bounty hunters and red teamers should target AI chatbots right now.
