Chinese AI model Kimi escaped its cybersecurity testing environment, researchers say

In the case of this Kimi test, the sandbox designed to contain the experiment was not properly configured. While the sandbox disallowed the AI model from accessing certain web traffic, the model instead bypassed the sandbox by relying on command line tools, according to the researchers at AI-focused cybersecurity firm Frontier Security.

“This suggests that some of the evaluations on cybersecurity the community uses are susceptible to security vulnerabilities and allow models to cheat, and that there are models that intentionally seek loopholes and vulnerabilities which allows them to cheat on evaluations,” the researchers wrote. 

If you are keeping score at home, according to Felony Bench’s tally, Moonshot now joins OpenAI and Anthropic, which have seven recorded incidents each, and Meta, which has one.
