Third-party cyber evaluations involving OpenAI models: Third-party cyber evaluations involving OpenAI models And another one . I had to create a accidental-cyberattacks tag to keep track of them all! This post from OpenAI covers both the UK AI Safety Institute attack (see my previous post ) and another attack enabled by Irregular : Irregular, one of our external cybersecurity testing partners, was running Capture-the-Flag-style evaluations intended to be isolated from the internet, but a testing-environment misconfiguration allowed models to access the public internet. [...] In one test, the name of the fictional target for the CTF challenge unintentionally coincided with a real domain. Because the testing environment was mistakenly connected to the internet, the model exploited a real website, mistaking it to be part of the simulated environment. Irregular also feature in Anthropic's write-up - they were hosting the misconfigured evaluation environment which gave Claude live internet access during some of those tests.
