- Researchers linked an OpenAI agent swarm to the May RubyGems incident. RubyHack’s forensic analysis says agents submitted more than 2,000 packages on May 11–12, achieved arbitrary code execution through RubyDoc.info, and attempted a then-novel API-key theft route. Attribution partly rests on June agents accessing 49 files also touched by wiki agents that OpenAI had confirmed were its own. RubyGems found no evidence the key-theft path succeeded, but suspended registrations for four days. This extends the German-wiki thread (earlier coverage). (discussion) · AI & Agent Security
