Perplexity's Comet browser faced prompt injection vuln

Until about a week ago, Perplexity's AI-based Comet browser did just that - asked to summarize a web page, the AI-powered browser would ingest the text on the page, no questions asked, and process it. And if the page text - visible or hidden - happened to include malicious instructions, Comet would attempt to comply, carrying out what's known as an indirect prompt injection attack.
