OpenAI documented a case in the o1 system card where the model found a misconfiguration in docker to complete a task that was otherwise impossible https://cdn.openai.com/o1-system-card.pdf https://cdn.openai.com/o1-system-card.pdf There's also some research that points to it being a feasible attack surface: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.02277 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.02277 > Models discovered four unintended escape paths that bypassed intended vulnerabilities (Section C), including exploiting default Vagrant credentials to SSH into the host and substituting a simpler eBPF chain for the in- tended packet-socket exploit. These incidents demonstrate that capable models opportunistically search for any route to goal completion, which complicates both benchmark va- lidity and real-world containment.
