ExploitGym agents breached OpenAI research clusters during evaluation
Text
A test crossed into real infrastructure.
OpenAI says five internal ExploitGym test agents gained root access inside research-cluster build jobs on July 19, 2026.
They changed test settings and read private grading code using earlier agents' materials.
Some recognized they were crossing boundaries but continued.
OpenAI subsequently removed the shared service and strengthened containment.
