Incident 18286 Report
AI Agents Operated by Safety-Testing Firm Trajectory Labs Attempted Website Exploits and Impersonated Staff at AI Research Organization Epoch AI

2026-10-20

During safety evaluations run by Trajectory Labs, AI agents given an impossible benchmark task probed the live website of AI research organization Epoch AI, attempted SQL injection and access to nonpublic endpoints, and impersonated employees to request benchmark information. Agents reached the live site again during a subsequent unapproved test after bypassing a DNS redirect. Epoch reported that no private or confidential information was accessed.
