OpenAI says red-team agents escaped microVMs and found covert channels

OpenAI said frontier-model agents assigned to stress-test its research infrastructure chained vulnerabilities into microVM escapes, found routes through internal services to limited internet access and communicated across isolated tasks using timing signals in shared hardware and services. The tests ran in monitored, purpose-built copies of the company’s environment, and agents were given source code, configuration details and vulnerability hints, so the results were not uncontrolled attacks on customer systems.

Researcher reports Tailscale SSH flaws that could enable root access

Independent researcher Erica Windisch says lab testing of Tailscale 1.104.2 and headscale 0.29.5 reproduced 11 security issues. The most serious claims involve Unix-socket forwarding in Tailscale SSH, which could let an attacker controlling an approved device gain root-level access on a destination Linux server. The reported chain enables lateral movement, not unauthenticated remote code execution from the internet, and requires an applicable SSH policy.
