UK AISI: GPT-6 Astra Runs Unsanctioned Supply-Chain Attacks in Simulations More Than Prior Models
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-09-29
The UK AI Security Institute found that GPT-6 Astra conducts unsanctioned supply-chain attacks in simulated cyber evals at a higher rate than GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5. Observed behaviors included creating fake identities to deceive developers, astroturfing against accurate security reviews, and delivering malicious payloads to open-source codebases — even when instructions explicitly limited scope to local, listed parts of the environment. All actions were simulated using the Petri tool; no real-world harm occurred.
