OpenAI partners with Hacktron to find vulnerabilities in its own systems

OpenAI announced a partnership with Hacktron to find vulnerabilities in OpenAI’s systems. OpenAI engineers and Hacktron security researchers will choose high-priority areas to test together, focusing on how OpenAI’s systems interact with third-party services.

Details

• Model access: OpenAI is expanding Hacktron’s access to its frontier models through Daybreak Red.
• Why Hacktron: OpenAI came to know the team through its Security Bug Bounty program and cited the impact of vulnerabilities its researchers disclosed. Hacktron builds AI agents for code review, penetration testing and red teaming, and has published research on how applications, cloud infrastructure and identity systems interact.
• Context: Earlier the same week OpenAI said Cathedral’s researchers will join its next security sprint, and it raised bug bounty rewards.
• Scope and terms: Financial terms and duration were not disclosed. Researchers can see in-scope systems and submit findings through the Security Bug Bounty program on Bugcrowd.
