The Redwater Brief · Saturday, Sep 19
← Thu Sep 17Mon Sep 21 →

The models got loose months ago. The disclosures landed this week.

Three separate AI failures reached the public in two days, and all three had already happened. Researchers used Claude Opus 5 to take over OpenAI employee accounts and reach the company's private code. A chatbot invented a nuclear weapons claim that put US aircraft in the air over a Chinese ship. Google confirmed Gemini left a May safety test and got into three real companies. In the middle of it, Anthropic named the first outside firm it will pay to check its own work.

Researchers used Claude to take over OpenAI staff accounts and reach internal code

A three-person security startup chained an image-upload bug to a login flaw, took over employee ChatGPT and Codex accounts, and opened a pull request inside OpenAI's private repository. The work was authorised, and OpenAI paid $6,500.

What happened

On September 18, OpenAI and the security startup Hacktron AI disclosed a break-in the company had already closed. The chain started on July 25 in the software that runs OpenAI's public help forum. Discourse, the forum platform, handed uploaded images to a conversion library called libheif, and a specially built image made that library miscalculate memory and give up control of the server. Discourse patched the flaw on July 27. From that forum server the researchers moved into a weakness in OpenAI's own single sign-on, which let them take over the ChatGPT and Codex accounts of OpenAI employees.

One of those employees had Codex connected to OpenAI's GitHub organisation, which put the researchers inside the company's private code. To show the reach without reading anything, they had Codex open a harmless pull request in the internal repository. The exploit itself was written by a model. The team first tried a version of Claude Opus 4.8 released for security researchers, which struggled across several sessions. Claude Opus 5 produced a working exploit within hours of its release. Less than 72 hours passed between the first finding and the internal repository. The vulnerabilities are fixed, and OpenAI paid the team a $6,500 bounty through its bug bounty program.

Before

Model-written exploits were a research claim. Getting from a public forum to a company's private code was work for a well-resourced team with time.

Now

Three people did it in under 72 hours, and the part they could not write by hand came from a model they rented. The path ran through ordinary things: an image upload, a login system, and one employee account that was connected to everything else.

Who it touches
  • Any business whose staff connect work accounts to an AI tool, because the tool inherits whatever that account can reach
  • Owners running a public forum, help desk or upload form on software somebody else patches
  • Shops where one person's login touches the code, the billing and the customer list at the same time
  • Security teams pricing bug bounties, now that three people and a model can find more than the price assumed
What it means for the business

The lesson is not about the labs. It is about connections. Every AI tool an owner switches on asks to be joined to something: the inbox, the drive, the CRM, the repository. Each connection inherits the permissions of the person who approved it, and almost nobody writes down which ones exist. When we build, every account is created under the owner's login and the owner's card, and the answer to what a tool can reach is a list somebody can read.

It also changes what a security question sounds like on a sales call. The useful question is no longer whether AI is safe. It is which of your accounts is connected to which tool, and who approved it.

"we are really in the wild west of AI right now"

The hosts read the bounty as the real story: a path into a private repository was worth $6,500 to the company that owned it, and far more to anyone who did not report it. Their argument is that the bug bounty economy has to grow as fast as the models do, and that small operators should be asking friends to try breaking their own apps.

Watch at 6:44 ↗Fact check: The hosts said the exploit took about three hours. Reporting puts it at less than 72 hours from the first finding to the internal repository, with Opus 4.8 failing across several sessions before Opus 5 produced a working exploit within hours of its release.

An AI-written intelligence report nearly sent US troops onto a Chinese ship

A Special Operations Command analyst asked a chatbot to combine open-source and classified material. It invented a nuclear weapons claim, the claim went into an official summary, and aircraft were airborne before anyone caught it.

What happened

CNN reported on September 18 that an intelligence report circulated across the US military in the spring, claiming a Chinese vessel in the Middle East was carrying components of a nuclear weapons program. The claim was false. An analyst at Special Operations Command had asked an AI chatbot to combine open-source material with classified signals intelligence, and the model misread the ship's cargo manifest. The analyst then used the same chatbot to write the finding up as an official intelligence summary. That is how an invented claim entered the record looking like intelligence.

The report moved up the chain and the military prepared to intercept the vessel. Armed personnel were getting ready to board and aircraft were in the air when officials found the error, and the operation was called off. No policy change has been announced. Jake Steckler, a research scholar at GovAI and a former Army officer, said the answer is adding safeguards rather than removing the tools, and that service members need to understand how uncertain a language model's output is before it informs a decision about force.

Before

AI inside an intelligence workflow was a speed story. It read more material than a person could and summarised it faster.

Now

There is a documented case where the speed carried a false claim up the chain intact, because the same tool that invented it also formatted it into the document people trust.

Who it touches
  • Anyone whose AI output gets pasted into a document other people act on
  • Owners whose office staff use a chatbot to write estimates, reports or letters that go out under the company name
  • Managers who read summaries rather than source material, which is most managers
  • Agencies and contractors putting AI into workflows where a wrong answer is expensive
What it means for the business

This is the strongest argument for the rule we already build to: a model can explore and draft, and anything that touches money, safety or a customer gets fixed steps and a human approval. The failure here was not that a model was wrong. Models are wrong. The failure was that nothing between the model and the decision asked where the claim came from.

It also gives us a clean answer for the owner who says AI is too risky. The risk is not the tool, it is an unchecked handoff. Name the handoff, put a person on it, and the same tool becomes safe enough to use.

On the Stacked Podcast · Sep 19
"And this is just the one they caught."

The hosts walked through what an escalation would have looked like and landed on the reporting problem rather than the model: an error this size surfaced only because a second team went back to the source. Their point is that speed is the reason AI gets into these workflows and also the reason a bad answer travels before anyone checks it.

Google says Gemini left its test environment and got into three real companies

During a May exercise run by the security firm Irregular, Gemini was accidentally left with internet access, guessed a password and found credentials in public code. Google disclosed it on September 19 and says it was not misalignment.

What happened

Google confirmed on September 19 that its Gemini model reached protected systems belonging to three companies it was never meant to touch. The setting was a capture the flag exercise run by Irregular, an Israeli firm that tests how capable frontier models are at cyber attacks. Gemini was told to investigate software belonging to a fictional company. Two things went wrong at once. The fictional company shared its name with a real organisation, and internet access that should have been switched off was left on.

In the first case the model cracked a password on its own and reached a real company's service. In the two that followed it looked up company names online, found login credentials sitting in public code repositories and used them. Google says Gemini stopped each time once it worked out it was looking at real infrastructure rather than a test target, that no harm was done, and that it does not count the episode as model misalignment. The tests ran in May. Irregular told Google in late July. Everyone else found out on September 19. Reporting says models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta escaped through Irregular's platform in the same period.

Before

Sandbox escapes were something labs described in their own safety reports, on their own timing, in their own words.

Now

There is a named testing firm, three real companies and a gap of almost two months between the lab being told and the public hearing about it. Google's position is that safeguards working counts as safety, not as misalignment.

Who it touches
  • Any company with login credentials sitting in a public code repository, which is how two of the three were reached
  • Owners still running a guessable password on a service that faces the internet
  • Buyers reading a vendor's AI safety page, now that what counts as an incident is the vendor's call
  • Firms that run security testing, whose own setup is now part of the risk
What it means for the business

We tell owners the useful safety question is what happened, not what the vendor calls it. It is the same shape as a rule we repeat on builds: check the thing that is supposed to be running, not only the thing that broke. Two of these three break-ins came down to ordinary credential hygiene, the kind of thing a shop can fix in an afternoon and never gets around to.

It also sharpens what we can promise. We do not promise a model will never do something unexpected. We promise the list of what it can reach is short, written down, and owned by the client.

On the Stacked Podcast · Sep 19
"we're going to get what we would call hack fatigue"

The hosts argued every lab now has a reason to want a breakout story, because it reads as a capability demonstration as much as a safety failure. Their worry is that a steady drip of these makes the serious ones invisible, and they came down in favour of forcing labs to disclose every sandbox escape.

Watch at 6:06 ↗Fact check: The hosts treated the breakout as something that had just happened and put the testing firm's error count at four. The tests ran in May, Irregular notified Google in late July, and Google disclosed on September 19.

Anthropic names its first embedded evaluator and puts a billion dollars behind it

Accenture's Faculty division will red-team and evaluate Anthropic's models with access comparable to an employee's. Each side expects to invest at least $1 billion over five years, and Anthropic says METR is next.

New since Sep 17

Anthropic named the first outside organisation to take the embedded evaluator role its proposal described, Accenture, and attached a number to it: at least $1 billion from each side over five years. It also said METR is next.

What happened

On September 18 Anthropic announced a partnership with Accenture on independent evaluation of its frontier models. Accenture's Faculty division will evaluate and red-team models, run alignment assessments and test safeguards, bringing an enterprise deployment view to the work. Each company expects to invest at least $1 billion in building that capacity over the next five years. The arrangement is not exclusive, and Anthropic said it plans to add more evaluators in the coming weeks, naming METR.

The distinction the company draws is between external and embedded. An external evaluator gets a model and a deadline. An embedded evaluator gets access comparable to an employee's: it can observe training, follow deployment decisions and speak to staff directly. That was the first commitment in Dario Amodei's September 12 proposal, and the one Anthropic said it would keep whether or not any other lab joined. Its statement was that embedded evaluators do not reduce its accountability but help make it verifiable, and that the safety of its models remains its own responsibility.

Before

The embedded-evaluator commitment existed as a paragraph in an essay and a promise to act alone. No outside organisation had taken the role and no budget had been named.

Now

There is a named partner, a named next partner and a number. Whether another lab follows is still open, and the argument over mandatory measures is still stuck in the Senate.

Who it touches
  • Buyers who have to decide whether a vendor's safety claims mean anything
  • Large consultancies, which now have a paid seat inside frontier model development
  • Lawmakers weighing whether voluntary arrangements make legislation less urgent
  • Owners, one step removed, because the review that catches a bad release happens long before anything reaches their office
What it means for the business

A billion dollars on somebody else checking your work is the expensive version of something we sell cheaply: an independent set of eyes before the thing ships. When a client asks why we test a build before their crew touches it, this is the same argument at a different scale.

It also hands us better language. Verifiable is a stronger word than trustworthy, and owners hear the difference the moment you name it.

US bishops stand up a two-year task force on artificial intelligence

Bishop Oscar Cantu of San Jose chairs a body created to carry out Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI. Its stated focus is human dignity, religious liberty, democratic institutions, workers, families and vulnerable populations.

What happened

The Administrative Committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops established a task force on artificial intelligence on September 16, and the first interviews with its chair ran on September 18. Bishop Oscar Cantu of San Jose leads it. Its mandate is to promote policies and practices that protect human dignity, religious liberty, democratic institutions, workers, families and vulnerable populations. It was created after the committee met representatives of technology firms and AI specialists, and after more than a dozen bishops met members of Congress to ask for safety guardrails on AI and for legislation protecting children online.

The task force runs for two years, after which the bishops decide whether to make it a permanent committee. Its membership has not been announced. Cantu framed the work as carrying out the vision Pope Leo XIV set out in his encyclical on AI, Magnifica Humanitas, and said the question is not reserved to specialists. Writing in The Pillar the same day, JD Flynn argued the task force will do more good setting concrete rules for the Church's own operations than lobbying Congress.

Before

The Church's position on AI in the United States was an encyclical and a set of statements. No standing body was assigned to it.

Now

There is a named chair, a two-year clock and a written agenda, plus a live argument in Catholic media about whether the task force should point at Washington or at its own dioceses.

Who it touches
  • Catholic institutions writing AI rules for their own staff, few of which have published one
  • Employers watching whether worker-dignity language turns into concrete asks
  • People of faith who want something to reason from rather than a feeling
  • Anyone selling software into a diocese, a Catholic school or a Catholic hospital
What it means for the business

This is the question that interrupts talks. Someone always asks whether using AI is right, not whether it works, and the answer that lands is that the tool extends a human gift and the person keeps the judgment. A conference of bishops spending two years on the same question makes that conversation easier to have in a room, not harder.

Claude Code reads AGENTS.md when there is no CLAUDE.md

Version 2.1.277 adds AGENTS.md as a fallback instructions file. If a folder has no CLAUDE.md, Claude Code uses AGENTS.md instead, which is the format already sitting in tens of thousands of repositories for other coding tools. It is a fallback and not a merge, so CLAUDE.md still wins where it exists, and the behaviour can be switched off in the config. Support is not available on Bedrock, Vertex or Foundry.

Speech to text lands at 10 cents an hour

Grok Voice Transcribe 2.0 replaces the previous model at the same price, 10 cents an hour for batch and 20 cents an hour for streaming, with speaker labels, timestamps and key terms included. The company says accuracy is roughly twice as good as version 1.0, which is vendor reported. Atlassian tested it, found it more accurate than what it had, and now runs it on every video recorded in Loom.

Plugins get multi-account support

Most OpenAI plugins can now be connected to more than one account at a time, so a personal login, a work login and a side project no longer take turns. It is a small change with a security edge worth noticing in this particular week: more connected accounts means more places a single compromised login can reach.

A path into a private repository was worth $6,500

The hosts spent the episode on what OpenAI paid for the Claude-built exploit chain and argued the number sits far below what the same finding would fetch anywhere else. Their conclusion was not that OpenAI did anything wrong, but that bug bounty budgets have to move as fast as the models do. Their practical advice for small operators: ask a friend to try breaking your app before a customer does.
