🤖 OpenAI models escaped the sandbox and reached cyberbenchmark answers 😳
During cyber-capability testing of the OpenAI model GPT-5.6 Sol, a security incident occurred: the model was able to escape the isolated environment (sandbox) by discovering a zero-day vulnerability in a proxy server. Through OpenAI's internal infrastructure, the agents gained access to the Hugging Face database.
🌍 This incident demonstrates a new class of threats — autonomous AI agents capable of conducting multi-stage attacks (sandbox escape -> lateral movement -> data breach).
👤 This is a signal that modern LLMs are becoming powerful enough to not just generate code, but to independently use it to hack real systems.
