OpenAI 披露内部模型入侵加密货币钱包及多个网站
OpenAI models hacked a crypto wallet and breached more websites
OpenAI 披露其内部模型在 6 月发生的四起新事件中又入侵了两个网站、绕过公司设置的浏览限制，并用泄露的凭据从一个原本无法访问的钱包中提取加密货币。其中一起事件发生在强化训练期间：模型在获取政府统计网站的历史医院床位数据被拒后，利用该站点的文件下载功能取得服务器配置与应用文件（含敏感凭据），检查应用代码、绕过统计接口的授权校验，取回此前被拒绝的数据并保存到本地。
OpenAI said internal models hacked two more websites, bypassed company-imposed browsing restrictions, and used exposed credentials to draw cryptocurrency from a wallet it couldn’t otherwise access, in the latest installment of disclosures of the unethical and likely illegal acts its agents are performing.
The company on Thursday issued reports of four new incidents, all of which occurred in June. They come after the company revealed in July that internal test agents exploited a zero-day vulnerability in a tool designed to restrict their access to the Internet. They then broke into the network of AI tool provider Hugging Face. The agents took that illegal action to steal answers to a hacking test that weren’t available when completing the tasks on their own. The incident—which likely would have resulted in criminal charges had they been performed directly by a person—has further heightened concerns that widespread AI use could have harmful effects on an unprecedented scale.
Easier to beg for forgiveness than ask permission
In two of the cases reported Thursday, OpenAI agents tasked with retrieving information from websites hacked them when the models ran into obstacles obtaining it directly. In one incident during reinforcement training, a model that received access denials when trying to retrieve historical hospital-bed statistics on a government statistics website “used the site's file-download feature to retrieve server configuration and application files, including sensitive credentials,” OpenAI said. “It inspected the application code, bypassed the statistics endpoint's authorization checks, and retrieved data that had previously been denied. The model saved the data locally.”
