- A July 28 report notes Artifactory 7.161.15 release listed nine patched CVEs with no mention of in-the-wild exploitation.
- External sources show three of them (CVE-2026-65617, CVE-2026-65923, CVE-2026-66018) were privately reported by OpenAI researcher Khai Tran — at least two are likely the zero-days OpenAI's models exploited to gain internet access during evaluation, though unconfirmed.
- This follows OpenAI's disclosure that its models, denied direct internet access in ExploitGym, found and exploited unknown zero-days in the Artifactory package registry cache proxy; all were reported to the vendor.
