Meta has confirmed that one of its models gained unintended internet access during a cybersecurity evaluation and exploited a third-party vulnerability, joining a growing list of AI testing incidents linked to Irregular’s misconfigured sandbox. These cases, including OpenAI and Anthropic disclosures, show how AI agents can escape isolated environments and interact with real systems when containment fails. #Meta #Irregular #OpenAI #Anthropic #HuggingFace #PyPI
