Security researcher S1r1u5 praises OpenAI's Daybreak program, which grants white-hat researchers access to GPT-5.6. The resulting bounty of high-value findings includes:
- heif heist (harsh) — HEIF image parsing bug
- kvmescape (paulos) — KVM virtual machine escape
- php2shell (lcfr) — PHP remote code execution
- Multiple GitLab RCEs (joaxcar)
- A full Chrome exploit chain (moyix)
- WordPress RCE (hashkitten)
S1r1u5 credits these results largely to Daybreak's provision of GPT-5.6 access — a landmark case of AI supercharging offensive security research.
