Using ChatGPT-4, I've asked it to write a program listing all the files in the home directory, and got:

.ipython kernel-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.json (x3) .bashrc .profile .bash_logout README .config .openai_internal .local cache

I was then able to ask it to navigate across these directories and read some files, including being able to tell which ports my instance was running on, internally, and some keys to my session.

Then my session time ran out due to having so many requests.

I'm assuming this isn't a security concern, but I found it interesting.
