An image upload reached OpenAI's internal code, and Claude Opus 5 wrote the exploit

Three researchers at Hacktron chained a memory bug in libheif with a flaw in OpenAI's single sign-on and ended up inside the company's internal code repository. The way in was a HEIC file uploaded to the public community forum. Opus 4.8 could not build a reliable exploit across several sessions; Opus 5, released the same evening, managed it in three hours. OpenAI paid a $6,500 bounty, and the whole chain took less than 72 hours.

Debian will allow AI-assisted contributions, and will not require disclosure

Eight proposals were on the ballot, two of them written to keep generative AI out of the project's own packaging, documentation and web pages. Both lost. The adopted text says Debian neither endorses nor prohibits these tools, and puts the whole weight on the person who submits the work. Saying that a model helped is encouraged and nothing more.
