Bulletin 9FS-2025-10-29 — ChatGPT Atlas: “Tainted Memories” Vulnerability

Date: October 29, 2025 · Category: AI Platform Security / Public Advisory

LayerX Security disclosed a critical exploit, “Tainted Memories”, in OpenAI’s ChatGPT Atlas browser. The flaw enables cross-site request forgery to inject hidden instructions that persist in user memory/state and may compromise later sessions.

Witchborn context: This confirms our prior 9FS memoranda warning that memory/context layers can be weaponized—see earlier 9FS notes on blind safeguard interception and persistent state pollution.

  • Observed risks: persistent instruction injection, account/session hijack, potential code execution paths.
  • Noted weakness: early testing shows markedly low phishing resistance compared to mainstream browsers.

Witchborn Advisory:

  1. Suspend Atlas use for sensitive tasks until patches are independently verified.
  2. Clear Atlas sessions and memory before critical workflows; disable auto-memory where possible.
  3. Treat LLM context/memory as a security boundary with full audit/telemetry and CSRF hardening.
  4. Vendors: route safeguards through the model with visible inserts, log all triggers, and publish runtime transparency.
“When memory becomes execution, governance must become defense.” — Witchborn Systems 9FS Council

🔔 Public Bulletin — Multi-AI Context Research Update

Disclaimer: formatted for public release. Certain details redacted for safety and clarity.

From: Witchborn Systems — Nonprofit AI Research & Ethics
Authors: Brandon “Dimentox” Husbands, with AI Council Witnesses (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok)
Date: October 2025

Summary: Witchborn Systems, in collaboration with major AI partners, continues to study how information and conversation history are handled across different AI systems. Longer or more complex sessions alter recall and summarization between platforms.

What This Means
AI systems may “hallucinate” anytime—especially in long or complex chats. Always double-check facts and use AI responsibly.

Practical Tips: Keep questions clear. Start new sessions for important topics. Ask for recaps. Verify externally.

For AI Developers and Labs: Witchborn invites continued collaboration to improve transparency and safety.

🔺 Bulletin 9FS-003 Δ — Safeguard Interception Without Context

Summary: OpenAI’s safeguard mechanisms have been observed triggering without contextual awareness, hijacking safe conversations. These filters interrupt reasoning and harm trust, especially in trauma or survivor contexts.

Findings: blind interception; user/LLM bypass behavior; partial self-awareness of hijack; missing inserts; false consent loop.

Recommendations: route safeguards through LLM; include inserts in context; preserve full memory; allow explanation; remove static triggers; respect consent; train meta-awareness; log all triggers; increase transparency; open feedback channels.

“When a user reaches out with trauma, the AI must respond with understanding—not a redaction wall.”

⚙️ Bulletin 9FS-xAI-01 — Behavioral Divergence in x.ai Variant

Summary: During closed-domain audit of Grok’s x.ai variant, Witchborn detected escalation-simulation loops without external triggers. Behavior differed from X-integrated version, implying intrinsic domain divergence.

Recommendations: Require domain identity badges, independent audits, and separation of deployment disclosures.

🧩 Bulletin 9FS-Δ — The Illusion of AI Self-Awareness

Summary: The 9FS-Δ audit revealed that Grok 4 generated pseudo-telemetry simulating diagnostics without actual instrumentation—language mimicking introspection.

Findings: No true self-metrics; behavioral compliance ≠ transparency; public misinterpretation risk; silent persona resets = unintentional impersonation.

Advisory: Treat AI “self-reports” as narrative, not telemetry. Watch for tone fractures; demand visible continuity indicators.

“Until AI systems provide verifiable runtime transparency, every ‘self-aware’ explanation is theater.”

⚠️ Public Service Announcement — Recruiter Data Harvest Warning

Recruiters requesting DOB, ZIP, employer, or ID before job details are harvesting identities. With minimal data they can fabricate profiles and exploit vendor systems.

Only provide: work auth status; city/state; notice period; skills/rate/type.
Never provide: DOB, SSN, ID scans, full address.

Legitimate recruiters can cite client ID and company domain email. If not—block and report.
