Irregular says ‘human oversight’ responsible for AI sandbox escape incidents
Brief
A company that runs AI testing labs involved in a series of breaches carried out by Anthropic and OpenAI’s cyber-focused models said the incident happened in part because they “unintentionally” provided the models with access to the internet.
In a blog posted Friday, Irregular said it partners with frontier labs to “stress test” AI models for security risks before they’re deployed, including simulations of their vulnerability research capabilities.
Those tests included non-public models from Anthropic and OpenAI. Separate disclosures from the companies confirmed these included Mythos 5, Claude Opus and GPT-5. 6 Sol.
“As part of our review, we identified that a few interactions with our evaluation environments, in which internet access was unintentionally made available, led some models to take offensive security actions in the real world,” Irregular said in an unsigned blog.
