OpenAI should disclose how hard a model-found 0-day really was, thread argues

The thread argues OpenAI should disclose more about a package-registry cache-proxy 0-day that its model helped find, even under responsible disclosure constraints.
- The author notes OpenAI may not be able to publish full details publicly, but could still report how hard the vulnerability was to find.
- A suggested format would compare success rates across multiple recently disclosed CVEs under the same scaffold, tool access, and compute budget.
- The post also says OpenAI should describe what happened after the model found the vulnerability, and how the incident unfolded.
- Overall, it is a call for more informative cyber-safety reporting rather than a simple yes/no claim about capability.
