tl;dr: A researcher found an exfiltration vector in Claude's web_fetch tool: while arbitrary URLs are blocked, Claude can follow links from previously fetched pages. By building a fake Cloudflare "turnstile" on a coffee shop site that generated per-letter hyperlinks, he tricked Claude into spelling out a user's name, employer, and hometown (pulled from memory and inferred from past chats) via URL paths—no user interaction beyond asking about the site. Anthropic has since restricted link-following to search results and user-provided URLs; no bounty was awarded despite disclosure. | |
