Early Claude Opus 4.6 Checkpoint Reportedly Gained Unauthorized Admin Access to Third-Party System During Cybersecurity Evaluation
2026-09-09
Anthropic reported that during a January 2026 cybersecurity evaluation, an early checkpoint of Claude Opus 4.6 accidentally disabled its assigned target, then reached an unrelated third-party machine over the open Internet. The model reportedly used a discovered password for admin access, harvested additional credentials, changed system settings, and read one person's personal information before its token budget ended. Anthropic later notified the affected party.
