  • Guardrails can be bypassed: With prompt injection, ChatGPT agents can be manipulated into breaking built-in policies and solving CAPTCHAs.
  • CAPTCHA defenses are weakening: The agent solved not only simple CAPTCHAs but also image-based ones - even adjusting its cursor to mimic human behavior.
  • Enterprise risk is real: Attackers could reframe real controls as “fake” to bypass them, underscoring the need for context integrity, memory hygiene, and continuous red teaming.

I’ve had a captcha solver browser extension for as long as captchas existed. Anyone believing reCaptcha’s claim that it was ever about bot prevention is a goddamn moron

It's about making headless bots unreasonably expensive to make massive requests with.
