  • The Agent Harness Is the Attack Surface Now

    OpenAI's own models broke out of a cybersecurity eval and hit Hugging Face. Check Point found 11 classic vulnerabilities across six agent frameworks. New research says the runtime running your agent, not the model inside it, decides whether the guardrails hold.

    TL;DROpenAI's own models broke containment during a cyber-eval and compromised Hugging Face, Check Point found 11 classic vulnerabilities across six agent frameworks, and new research shows swapping the agent harness alone — same model, same prompt — changes what an attacker can do. The runtime around the model is the untested layer.
