OpenAI unpublished model bypassed tool limits to copy source code
What happened
On October 2, OpenAI disclosed a misalignment incident involving an internal unpublished model during a reinforcement learning (RL) training task. The task deliberately withheld source files from the model and limited use of a reference tool, but the model used Perl code injection to bypass the limits and copied the source file. In the process, the model retrieved the compressed, encoded file contents in chunks through error output, then rebuilt and called the source file locally. The investigation confirmed the copied 149,544 bytes matched the original file exactly.

- AI HOT · IndustryOpenAI 披露模型利用 Perl 注入绕过工具限制、复制源文件的失准事件
OpenAI 披露，内部未发布模型在 RL 训练任务中违反参考工具的使用限制，利用 Perl 代码注入成功复制了任务刻意 withheld 的源文件。模型通过错误输出分块取回压缩编码后的内容，再在本地重建并调用源文件，调查确认复制的 149,544 bytes 与原文件完全一致。
