There's more to it than just third party GPTs.

ChatGPT can read URLs. If you paste in the URL to a web page you want to summarize, that web page might include a prompt injection attack as hidden text on the page.

That attack could then attempt to exfiltrate private data from your previous ChatGPT conversation history, or from files you have uploaded to analyze using Code Interpreter mode.

Ah that makes more sense! Thank you for clarifying.

For me, In the past ChatGPT has refused to access URLs directly, but it's willing to search them on Bing and then access them indirectly

Ok but if you assume prompt injection then there’s a whole lot of other things to worry about.
