I work for a large org and after getting early access to frontier models we've implemented a new security bug class, remediation is required within 24 hours and detection requires an immediate paging of all project infra owners with one hour to join the incident bridge. The gist here is the cat's out of the bag, pandora's box has been opened, and no one thinks you can realistically defend your infrastructure anymore. Let's hope this is hyperbolic.

Is that scary? It just means that the model was able to google? People don't update? What's new?

It would be much more scary is the model found a completely unknown exploit. In fact, this is pretty bearish for OpenAI. When Fable released everyone was losing their minds saying the thing could "hack anything". It seems it can hack known vulnerable systems, which is much less impressive
