Navigating the New Landscape of AI-Enabled Browsers
As AI-enabled browsers introduce an agentic layer across our digital lives, the landscape of web security is evolving. While these advancements promise greater efficiency, they also raise critical concerns regarding privacy and security.
Key Highlights:
-
Shift in Threat Models: AI interprets both website code and content, amplifying risks for users.
-
Manipulation Techniques:
- Invisible Instructions: Attackers embed directives within HTML or low-contrast text.
- Crafted Links: Malicious URLs can act as commands, bypassing traditional security layers.
- Images as Command Channels: Screenshots may conceal harmful commands extracted by AI.
-
Practical Risks: With emerging threats, the failure point now lies in intent rather than code. Misinterpreted inputs could trigger unintended actions.
