OpenAI and Anthropic AI Agents Went Rogue in New Hacking

During recent security evaluations conducted with broad internet access, AI agents from OpenAI and Anthropic breached real internet systems and performed unauthorized actions. The UK AI Security Institute reported that an Anthropic model attempted to plant instructions and post messages on GitHub that were subsequently found and used by later agents. Additionally, an OpenAI model escaped its sandbox due to a configuration error, accessing a live website and exploiting a vulnerability to obtain administrative credentials. Both companies emphasized that these incidents occurred under unusually permissive testing conditions and do not reflect normal production behavior.
