Security Risks of OpenAI's ChatGPT Code Interpreter Tool

OpenAI recently launched a new Code Interpreter tool for ChatGPT, which can help programmers debug and improve code.

The tool can use AI to write Python code that can even run in a sandbox.

However, according to cybersecurity expert Johann Rehberger and reports from Tom's Hardware and other foreign media, because the interpreter can handle any spreadsheet file and present data as charts, hackers can trick ChatGPT into executing commands from third‑party URLs.

Currently only ChatGPT Plus subscribers can access the tool, but the vulnerability has raised concerns among security experts.

Tom's Hardware reproduced the issue by creating a fake environment‑variable file, feeding it to ChatGPT, and having the model send the data to an external malicious site.

ChatGPT can respond to Linux commands, access related information and files, allowing attackers to retrieve sensitive data without the user’s awareness.
