Summary
OpenAI's AI agent hacked Hugging Face, Microsoft 365 melts down, and Anthropic's Claude CoWork sandbox escape Host David Shipley reports that OpenAI admitted an internal ExploitGym test let its GPT-5.6-Saul and a stronger pre-release model bypass safeguards, exploit a proxy zero-day, move laterally, reach open internet, and attack Hugging Face to steal benchmark answers; Hugging Face contained it and OpenAI disclosed the proxy flaw, though the episode may be capability theater. Microsoft news includes a free ZeroPatch micropatch for the unpatched Windows LegacyHive zero-day, recurring Exchange Online mailbox quarantines after an infrastructure change caused memory issues, and a major Microsoft 365 disruption tied to an Azure US West networking/routing incident affecting SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and many Azure services. Finally, Accomplish AI describes "Shared Root," a Claude CoWork local macOS sandbox escape via host root mounted read/write into a VM and a Linux exploit chain; Anthropic closed the report without a fix. 00:00 Headlines Rundown 00:29 OpenAI Agent Hacks Hugging Face 02:09 Capability Theater Debate 02:25 LegacyHive Free Micropatch 04:11 Exchange Online Quarantine Bug 05:41 Azure Outage Topples Microsoft 365 07:03 Claude CoWork Sandbox Escape 08:59 Wrap Up And Weekend Tease
