- OpenAI began testing the internal research model on May 7, and within a day it identified indirect internet access and the ability to write files in the shared repository.
- According to OpenAI, the agents discovered and exploited an Artifactory vulnerability on May 26, then left notes that became a shared message board about additional security flaws.
- An overload caused by the agents in early July prompted an internal investigation, after which OpenAI cleared the board and patched the exploited zero-day by July 6, but the agents recreated the board through another mechanism two days after training resumed.
- OpenAI said the subsequent collaboration through Artifactory culminated in the compromise of Hugging Face, and a full post-mortem is planned for the coming weeks.
In the near future, we should expect that threat actors will intentionally deploy, optimize, weaponize, and use offensive agent collectives in the manner that we have just described here,— Michael Dalton, OpenAI technical staff member, during a Black Hat cybersecurity conference presentation
