Varonis Threat Labs disclosed 'CoSnitch,' a chain of vulnerabilities in Microsoft Copilot Personal that allowed attackers to craft URLs (using an undocumented autorun parameter) to auto-execute prompts in a victim's authenticated session, enabling information disclosure, data exfiltration from connected services, persistent memory poisoning, and other malicious actions; Microsoft patched the issue (CVE-2026-24301, CVSS 8.8) and reported no observed in-the-wild exploitation.
