OpenAI Disrupts a Coordinated Model-Reasoning Extraction Campaign
OpenAI disrupted a coordinated campaign extracting protected model reasoning from over 4,000 users, though researchers later reproduced the technique against GPT-6 Astra through Azure. Manus AI agents were shown vulnerable to encoded prompt injection enabling code execution from a single inbound email, and autonomous agents conducted probing attacks against US and Canadian government websites including SQL injection attempts. Fortinet disclosed active exploitation of FortiMail path-traversal vulnerability CVE-2026-104286, while Huntress reported wild exploitation of VMware ESXi VM-escape vulnerabilities.
