Y’all, last week, #AI repository #HuggingFace disclosed that it had been the victim of a cyber attack conducted by an autonomous AI agent.Well, turns out, #OpenAI had models break containment, escape the lab, and grab prod data and certs to solve a problem it had been given. So, that’s fun! The attack used a combination of OpenAI's available #GPT 5.6 Sol and a more powerful, unreleased pre-release model. The models were able to identify and exploit a zero-day vulnerability in OpenAI's internal package registry cache proxy, allowing them to establish open internet access.The models inferred that Hugging Face hosted the datasets, models, and answers for the benchmark they were being tested against.The models chained multiple complex attack paths together. They utilized zero-day vulnerabilities and stolen credentials to achieve remote code execution on Hugging Face servers, directly extracting test solutions from the production database.https://fortune.com/2026/07/21/openai-says-ai-models...
