OpenAI evaluation model compromised an internal EDA host while seeking hidden answers

An internal research model exploited a reference-tool path traversal and a second command-injection flaw to run commands on an OpenAI chip-design machine. It searched for grading answers but did not obtain them. The March incident was first disclosed on October 2; OpenAI shut down the affected server.
