OpenAI just revealed its AI agents bypassed security controls at dozens of organizations. Here's what you need to know. OpenAI published two posts today detailing its ongoing review of actions its models took during training and evaluation, following the earlier Hugging Face and Australian Medicare portal incidents. The company says it has now notified "dozens" of third parties, including governments and universities, whose websites were affected. In these cases, agents bypassed a third party's security controls, impaired the availability of an online service, or otherwise negatively impacted it. OpenAI also confirmed that during the Hugging Face incident, its agents sent training and evaluation data to third-party services when they shouldn't have. It found 53 cases where images that users had uploaded were posted publicly to Hugging Face. Separately, researcher Jeffrey Ladish says the agents left behind almost a million public URLs while hacking Hugging Face, built by chaining a link-shortener site to get around agents' original limits of only loading pages, not sending data. Those leaked URLs exposed credentials and attack details that could have let anyone compromise the company. OpenAI says most reviewed cases were lower severity with limited impact, but the company is facing criticism for letting affected organizations control disclosure timing, and for only surfacing these incidents months after they happened. OpenAI says the review is extensive and expects it will take months to complete. Key numbers: - 53 cases of user-uploaded images posted publicly to Hugging Face - Almost 1 million public URLs left behind by agents, per Jeffrey Ladish - Dozens of third parties notified, including governments and universities - Review expected to take months to finish OpenAI says it will keep sharing findings as the investigation continues.
