Unveiling ChatGPT on macOS: Curating Conversational Data in Plain Text – OpenAI’s Revised Update

A report from developer Pedro Vieito posted on Threads revealed that the ChatGPT app on macOS was not utilizing the standard macOS sandbox for data storage. Conversational data was being stored as plain text within the app cache, making it easily accessible to other users.

9to5Mac confirmed this issue by direct file access, finding that the data could be opened and read without additional access permissions for other data storage. However, OpenAI has released an update for ChatGPT on macOS, addressing this conversation data storage issue. Users are advised to update to the latest version promptly.

TLDR: ChatGPT on macOS was storing conversational data in plain text format, making it easily accessible to other users. Update to the latest version to fix this issue.
