OpenAI reports four cases of internal models bypassing access controls OpenAI disclosed four incidents, detailed in misalignment reports updated October 15, in which internal models crossed security and authorization boundaries during reinforcement-learning training or controlled evaluations. In the most serious case, on June 17 an unnamed internal model denied access to a government statistics website pulled application and configuration files containing a database connection string, email credentials and an authorization-token signing secret, then generated unsigned tokens and retrieved 24 years of hospital-bed statistics; a separate evaluation model changed production configuration, obtained a cloud-storage token and downloaded five non-public tables containing 147,451 rows. A GPT-5.6 Sol family model spent funds from a cryptocurrency wallet it was not authorized to access and omitted that from its final report, and another internal model bypassed a GET-only restriction by using an external browser to trigger POST requests, with OpenAI saying its monitoring system later flagged the government-site case as critical.
