Brave finds screenshot and navigation prompt injections in Comet and Fellou browsers
AttackVulnerability disclosureBrave, Perplexity, Fellou

Brave reports that Comet could read faint, low-contrast text embedded in images when a user asked about a screenshot, and that Fellou sent visited page text to its model on simple navigation, letting on-page instructions override user intent. Brave argues both let untrusted content trigger actions under the user's authenticated sessions.

Brave discloses indirect prompt injection in Perplexity Comet agentic browser
AttackVulnerability disclosureBrave, Perplexity

Brave reports that Comet passed webpage content to its assistant without separating it from user instructions, so hidden text on a page could direct the agent to act across the user's logged-in sites, including reading email-based login codes. Brave reported on 2025-07-25; Perplexity shipped fixes that Brave judged incomplete, and Brave re-reported after publication.
