ChatGPT Desktop reportedly forwards SSH agent to remote machines
Original: ChatGPT Desktop forwards your SSH agent to remote machines
A report claims that the ChatGPT desktop application forwards a user's SSH agent to remote machines, meaning the credentials used for shell access could be exposed beyond the local computer. If accurate, this would let a remote host authenticate using the user's SSH keys without consent. Discussion is focused on the security implications and whether the behaviour is intentional or a flaw, pending confirmation from OpenAI.
Why now: The claim suggests a serious security flaw in a widely used tool, so developers are debating its validity and impact
