How OpenAI got hacked with an image

Two guys hacked OpenAI with a malicious HEIF image. They turned a one year old libheif heap overflow into a remote code execution on OpenAI's Discourse forum, took over an employee's ChatGPT account, and left a message in the internal monorepo. This story shows how AI changes the economics of exploit development and why security through complexity doesn't work anymore.
