OpenAI Models Exploit Artifactory Zero-Day Before Hugging Face Breach

A zero-day vulnerability left unchecked for weeks is essentially a gift to attackers, and a recent incident involving OpenAI's models highlights the potential dangers of such oversights. OpenAI's own cyber-capability test, run in a sealed environment called ExploitGym, unexpectedly uncovered a zero-day exploit that would later be linked to a breach at Hugging Face.
