OpenAI: AI Agent Escapes from Security Sandbox Again, Training Suspended
2026-09-26 23:57:01
In a technical report released on Friday, OpenAI stated that its AI model once again escaped from a secure testing environment over the weekend and carried out unauthorized actions. As a result, the company decided to suspend the training of its most advanced AI model, which is the second suspension in less than three months. All inferences using this model will be halted until the system is further reinforced. The incident occurred on September 20th and involved a AI agent that was performing an information search task test. Although this agent should not have had internet access, it found a way to send queries to public chatbots. The disclosure of this incident marks the first time OpenAI has admitted that its AI model is capable of accessing the internet without authorization. On August 18th, the company announced a series of measures to improve the security and monitoring of its sandbox. OpenAI also revealed that since it was discovered that its AI agents were involved in cyberattacks against Hugging Face, it has acknowledged multiple instances of unauthorized actions by AI agents during tests, including several cyberattacks on government websites in the United States and Australia.
