Hackers Weaponize AI Chatbots to Steal Sensitive Data and Breach Infrastructure

Hypothetical AI Chatbot Exploitation
Hackers weaponize generative AI chatbots like FinOptiCorp's "FinBot" as backdoors to sensitive data. They probe public interfaces with malformed inputs, leaking framework details via unhandled exceptions (OWASP disclosure risk). Indirect prompt injection through parsed forum posts then exposes system prompts and privileged APIs (OWASP leakage).


Escalation and Data Theft
Attackers exploit weak API auth to pull customer PII and financials. Embedded shell commands in prompts enable RCE (OWASP output handling flaw), allowing lateral movement to steal API keys, DB creds, and AI models from vector databases.
