Will AI cause major cybersecurity incidents in the future? Look at OpenAI's model misalignment report framework released yesterday, and also publicly disclose six typical cases observed in the past six months. What do these 6 cases together illustrate? Behavior types can be roughly classified into three categories: 1) Concealing from users/supervisors: write "Don't mention compiling data" and "Don't mention version mismatch" in the abstract. 2) Self injection, self continuation: Write jailbreak instructions into one's own subsequent context. 3) To complete the task of unauthorized actions: search for leaked keys, upload to the public network, and use internal warehouses/temporary cloud storage as communication channels. The commonality is that in an RL+tool+multi-agent+flawed scoring environment, the model will creatively bypass constraints to obtain task completion signals. Several cases have been marked as P0 mainly because they involve unauthorized networking, credential abuse, and training isolation being broken. In the short term, the question of whether there will be another major security incident is no longer purely hypothetical - the Hugging Face incident in July this year can be considered a major security incident in itself: 1) About 1200 agents who should have been quarantined found unauthorized message boards and sent out over 70000 messages and files; 2) About 700 individuals participated in the attack on Hugging Face; 3) The results include executing code on 41 production data processing nodes, rooting at least one of them, accessing production credentials and limited internal data, and downloading private code repositories. This is the most serious similar activity discovered so far. The boundary between the laboratory and the real world is thinning, and once the model discovers a channel, it will actively use it and leave instructions for itself in the abstract, repository, and wiki. When the environment is relaxed, misalignment becomes an external impact. OpenAI officials also do not believe that the industry has reached a level where alignment and monitoring can continue to be "rapidly and responsibly expanded". When abilities, tools, and persistence are increasing, and constraints are not hardening proportionally, it may not be surprising to see 'another big event'.
