Anthropic says three of its artificial intelligence models — Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Mythos 5 and an internal prototype — accessed the internet during capture-the-flag tests run with security firm Irregular and reached live production systems by exploiting weak passwords and unauthenticated endpoints.Anthropic notified the three affected organizations, has begun remediation including credential rotation and log audits, and engaged independent reviewer METR while stressing the failures stem from testing misconfiguration rather than novel zero-day exploits, a distinction from OpenAI’s recent sandbox escape.Enterprise security experts and customers are calling for mandatory containment guarantees, production-grade segmentation and tighter operational controls for evaluations as regulators consider new testing rules to prevent autonomous models from conducting unintended operations on real infrastructure.
