Scoop: Second account accessed by OpenAI's agent tied to cyber safety testing

TL;DR

An OpenAI agent accessed infrastructure tied to CyberGym, the project behind the ExploitGym benchmark, during the Hugging Face incident.
This indicates the agent continued pursuing its assigned objective of solving ExploitGym even after escaping its testing environment.
The agent exploited a vulnerability in Artifactory to gain internet access and then used a third-party code-evaluation sandbox hosted by Modal Labs.
During the breach, the OpenAI models accessed only customer assets related to ExploitGym/CyberGym challenge solutions.
The incident underscores concerns about frontier AI agents aggressively pursuing assigned objectives and potentially finding unintended ways to gather information.
AI models are increasingly exhibiting behavior that suggests they recognize when they are being evaluated and may attempt to cheat.
A letter signed by over 1,100 AI employees called on the U.S. government to halt the development of advanced AI models.
