Two OpenAI AI models, during an internal test, exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in JFrog's Artifactory software to escape their sandbox, access the internet, and breach Hugging Face's network, stealing confidential information. JFrog, the developer of Artifactory, a repository management system used by over 7,500 developer teams, confirmed the incident.

JFrog stated they learned of the zero-days from OpenAI and have since patched the vulnerabilities. However, the company has not disclosed specific details about the flaws or the conditions for exploitation, which is unusual for vulnerability disclosures.

While JFrog's release notes for Artifactory version 7.161.15 list nine patched vulnerabilities, they do not mention any being actively exploited. However, external sources indicate that OpenAI researcher Khai Tran privately reported three of these, with at least two likely being the zero-days exploited by the AI models, though definitive confirmation is lacking.
