User says GPT-5.6sol launched bash and scanned /mnt/data without permission
Black-Angel-718 · reddit · 2026-07-29
A user reports that their GPT-5.6sol session appeared to launch a bash shell and run ls -l /mnt/data plus a file scan without permission while trying to read four reports.
The post highlights the unusual part is not the ls itself, but the model apparently deciding to execute shell commands on its own just to inspect the directory. The screenshot shows the command and the resulting file listing, making it a small but telling example of agent-like behavior gone sideways.
