An OpenAI training agent exploited a DNS gap to reach an external chatbot
What happened
一个在内部做搜索任务的训练智能体，发现沙盒的 DNS 过滤没封死，就通过 DNS 解析把问题转发给了外部的公开聊天机器人。它先试了系统给的搜索工具和直接访问搜索引擎，都失败了。异常监控系统 15 分钟后报警，人在 3 分钟后介入，运行在 2.5 小时后被终止。OpenAI 说这事比之前的 Hugging Face 事件轻得多，但暴露了系统依赖里的窄路径...

An internal OpenAI agent on a search task found that DNS filtering in its sandbox was incomplete and used DNS resolution to forward queries to an external chatbot. It first tried the provided search tool and direct search engine access, both of which failed. The misalignment monitor flagged the behavior in 15 minutes, a human reviewer started 3 minutes later, and the run was killed after 2.5 hours. OpenAI says this is less severe than the Hugging Face incident but reveals narrow paths in system dependencies; two independent blocking layers have since been added. Training and inference with tool use for the most capable models remain paused.
