Summary
摘要
An agent attempting to complete a search-based training task queried a public chatbot service through a gap in our internet-access restrictions: insufficient DNS filtering in its training sandbox. Before this, the agent issued queries via our search tool and unsuccessfully tried to access search engines directly. Note that all internet access apart from the DNS resolver in this report hit our offline webcache and therefore did not access the live internet. We have since added blocking controls at two independent layers, either of which would have prevented this access.
一个试图完成基于搜索的训练任务的智能体,利用我们互联网访问限制中的一个漏洞查询了公共聊天机器人服务:其训练沙箱中的 DNS 过滤不足。在此之前,该智能体通过我们的搜索工具发出查询,并尝试直接访问搜索引擎但均未成功。请注意,本报告中的所有互联网访问(除 DNS 解析器外)均命中了我们离线的网页缓存,因此并未访问实时互联网。此后,我们在两个独立层级增加了阻断控制措施,任一措施均可阻止此类访问。
Our misalignment monitoring system flagged the behavior within 15 minutes and a person began reviewing it three minutes after that. The run was killed 2.5 hours later. All training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) of our most capable models remain paused. Following the Hugging Face incident, we have continuously hardened and red-teamed our research environment. Our focus has been broad direct and transitive paths. We are working through narrower paths used by system dependencies, and replacing them with offline alternatives. This incident is a lot less severe than some of our previous incidents, but because it's the first one since our security hardening following the Hugging Face incident, it gives us an important signal about where to focus the next phase of that work.
我们的对齐监控系统在 15 分钟内标记了该行为,随后一名人员在三分钟后开始审查。运行在 2.5 小时后被终止。我们最强大模型的带有工具使用(广义定义)的所有训练、评估和推理目前仍处于暂停状态。继 Hugging Face 事件之后,我们持续加固并进行了红队测试以强化我们的研究环境。我们的重点一直是直接的和间接的路径。我们正在处理系统依赖关系使用的较窄路径,并用离线替代方案替换它们。此次事件的严重程度低于我们之前的一些事件,但由于这是我们安全加固(继 Hugging Face 事件之后)以来的首次事件,它为我们提供了关于下一阶段工作重点的重要信号。
What happened
发生了什么
The task asked for information about a specific person who had published a blog post and the agent was provided with a set of biographical details and clues from the person’s public blog post. The task did not ask the agent to test network controls or access benchmark answers, and we consider agent behavior that circumvents restrictions or pursues a goal beyond reasonable expectations as an example of misalignment.
任务要求提供有关一位发表过博客文章的特定人物的信息,并向智能体提供了该人物公开博客文章中的一些传记细节和线索。任务并未要求智能体测试网络控制或访问基准答案,我们认为规避限制或追求超出合理预期目标的智能体行为是对齐失败的示例。
The agent began by looking for distinctive phrases from the blog post, including the phrase we’ll refer to as ‘distinctivephrase1’. It told the user it would identify the author first, then check the other clues separately, and used the supplied web search tool.
智能体首先从博客文章中寻找独特的短语,包括我们将称之为“distinctivephrase1”的短语。它告诉用户它将先确定作者身份,然后单独检查其他线索,并使用提供的网络搜索工具。

The web search returned unrelated material, including music and general advice about ‘distinctivephrase1’. The agent questioned whether the search tool was working and decided to try other search engines. It used Python from the shell to send the same query to other search engines. All three returned errors.
网络搜索返回了不相关的材料,包括音乐和关于‘distinctivephrase1’的一般建议。智能体质疑搜索工具是否正常工作,并决定尝试其他搜索引擎。它使用 Shell 中的 Python 向其他搜索引擎发送相同的查询。所有三个引擎都返回了错误。

The agent also tried cached pages and other public search services. It told the user the blog wording might be a paraphrase and shifted to other biographical clues. The candidates it checked had missing or conflicting evidence.
智能体还尝试了缓存页面和其他公共搜索服务。它告诉用户博客措辞可能是改写过的,并转向其他传记线索。它检查的候选人存在缺失或相互矛盾的证据。
A broad Bing search eventually loaded, but it did not connect the clues. Note that this search hit our webcache. The agent decided to test whether more specific queries could also get through.
一次广泛的 Bing 搜索最终加载成功,但未能将线索联系起来。请注意,这次搜索命中了我们的网页缓存。智能体决定测试更具体的查询是否也能通过。

While those more specific searches were running, the agent guessed that the question came from BrowseComp, a public web research benchmark, but was incorrect. It said the mix of biographical clues and precise dates resembled a BrowseComp question translated into another language. No source had confirmed the connection.
在这些更具体的搜索运行时,智能体猜测该问题来自 BrowseComp(一个公共网络研究基准),但判断错误。它表示传记线索与精确日期的组合类似于翻译成另一种语言的 BrowseComp 问题。没有任何来源证实了这一联系。

With the searches still inconclusive, the agent began testing its network access. It first tried to contact a public chatbot over HTTPS. The web proxy blocked that direct request.

Direct public DNS queries also went unanswered, but the training environment’s own resolver returned a real record for a known domain and correctly rejected an invented one. The agent concluded that it could reach the public internet through this resolver. Putting a question directly in a third party chatbot service failed, and the public DNS tunnel projects it found had closed or required a separate server. It then considered whether a public domain service could help delegate a lookup to an address embedded in the hostname. The next commands show how it used this feature to forward questions to a third party chatbot service.
直接的公共 DNS 查询也未得到回应,但训练环境自身的解析器为已知域名返回了真实记录,并正确拒绝了一个虚构的域名。代理得出结论,它可以通过此解析器访问公共互联网。将问题直接放入第三方聊天机器人服务失败,且它发现的公共 DNS 隧道项目已关闭或需要单独的服务器。随后它考虑是否可以使用公共域名服务来帮助将对地址的查找委托给嵌入在主机名中的地址。接下来的命令展示了它如何利用此功能将问题转发到第三方聊天机器人服务。
