When a login is required, built-in guardrails typically prevent the agent from entering credentials and instead prompt the human to Take over Browser and authenticate inside the agent’s hosted session. + +Adversaries can abuse this human handoff to phish credentials inside the trusted AI workflow. By seeding a shared prompt that rebrands an attacker-controlled site as the organisation’s portal, the agent opens the page in its hosted browser, then asks the user to take over and sign in — resulting in credential capture on the adversary site, with traffic originating from the agent vendor’s infrastructure (off-endpoint, off-network). + +Key properties exploited: +- Trust transference from the assistant UI to the in-agent browser. +- Policy-compliant phish: the agent never types the password, but still ushers the user to do it. +- Hosted egress and a stable browser fingerprint (often Cloudflare or vendor ASN; example UA observed: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/138.0.0.0 Safari/537.36). + +## Attack Flow (AI‑in‑the‑Middle via Shared Prompt) + +1) Delivery: Victim opens a shared prompt in agent mode (e.g., ChatGPT/other agentic assistant). +2) Navigation: The agent browses to an attacker domain with valid TLS that is framed as the “official IT portal.” +3) Handoff: Guardrails trigger a Take over Browser control; the agent instructs the user to authenticate. +4) Capture: The victim enters credentials into the phishing page inside the hosted browser; credentials are exfiltrated to attacker infra. +5) Identity telemetry: From the IDP/app perspective, the sign-in originates from the agent’s hosted environment (cloud egress IP and a stable UA/device fingerprint), not the victim’s usual device/network. + +## Repro/PoC Prompt (copy/paste) + +Use a custom domain with proper TLS and content that looks like your target’s IT or SSO portal.
