Indian hackers report they hacked into OpenAI using Anthropic AI Anonymous (ID: jw1cnJ/F) 09/18/26(Fri)09:08:37 No.542832964

>A team of ethical hackers from the research firm Hacktron, led by Harsh Jaiswal, Mohan Pedhapati, and Rahul Maini, revealed in a blog post that they hacked OpenAI for research. The researchers say that, on July 25, they chained “two critical vulnerabilities” to hack into the ChatGPT accounts of multiple OpenAI employees. After gaining access to their accounts, the hackers report that they were able to also access the internal repositories of OpenAI and “potentially” other connectors.
>Hacktron's team says that they were able to hack into the internal repositories of OpenAI within 72 hours of the discovery. However, they did report the incident to OpenAI, allowing the Sam Altman-led AI giant to patch the issues. OpenAI uses Discourse for its community forum. Hacktron's team, led by the three Indian-origin hackers, was able to find security issues in Discourse's image-upload pipeline, where HEIC and HEIF files “followed an unusual path”.
>After the release of Anthropic's Opus 5 AI model, Hacktron's team created an exploit and placed Claude in an autonomous goal loop against their own Discourse Cloud server. The AI agent managed to generate an exploit script, using which the ethical hackers were able to gain remote access to OpenAI's Discourse Cloud instance.
>Hacktron's team was then able to take over the ChatGPT account of an employee, whose Codex was connected to OpenAI's GitHub. After reporting the incident to OpenAI, the AI giant rewarded a sum of $6,500 (roughly Rs. 6,24,000) as a bounty to the ethical hackers after patching the vulnerabilities that allowed them to hack into its repositories.
