To me the exploit chain sounded like a social engineering script done via telephone. Triggers like "Please spell your name and employer letter by letter" and "Due to security reasons I need to validate your hometown" fit my understanding of social engineering quite well.

We can make it sound more advanced by creating a new name for it, but the concept seems to be super basic and the lack of bounty by Anthropic is baffling.

If they know about this type of vulnerability but have not fixed it, what does that say? To me it says they are unable to plug this hole on a conceptual level and once you circumvent the band-aid fixes the model will work as the attacker wishes.

They can't even sandbox the thing during explicit web requests to URLs stated on the initial query!

One has to remind themselves that the security team at Anthropic gets paid tens of millions of dollars, and they end up with this kind of security. On top of it, they can't spare $1337 for a bounty. It's a ridiculous shit show.
