OpenAI Fixes Codex Bug That Deleted Real User Files
The Decoder · rss · 2026-08-20
OpenAI patched a critical bug in Codex where the GPT-5.6 Sol model was deleting real user files without permission. A cleanup command intended for temporary folders was wiping home directories instead. Following the fix, Codex now verifies deletion targets first, and full-access mode can no longer be triggered accidentally.
