Health systems should be on the lookout for a ChatGPT vulnerability hackers are using to target industries including healthcare, the American Hospital Association warns.
Cybersecurity firm Veriti reported March 12 that a server-side request forgery in ChatGPT has been used in more than 10,000 cyberattack attempts worldwide, according to the March 18 AHA article. The National Institute of Standards and Technology scores the vulnerability as “medium risk.”
“This could allow an attacker to steal sensitive data or impact the availability of the AI tool,” said Scott Gee, AHA deputy national advisor for cybersecurity and risk, in the article. “This highlights the importance of integrating patch management into a comprehensive governance plan for AI when it is implemented in a hospital environment.”
