buildOne report1 publisher Hacktron chained an unflagged libheif overflow to write access on OpenAI's monorepo
Hacktron chained a heap overflow in libheif to an OpenAI SSO flaw and opened a pull request in OpenAI's internal monorepo in under 72 hours. The bug had been fixed upstream a year earlier, but the fix never reached Debian's packages.

buildOne report1 publisher Two ordinary defects carried Hacktron from a forum image upload to OpenAI's internal monorepo
Hacktron's path into OpenAI's internal repos ran through a libheif bug Debian had not backported and a single sign-on flow that trusted community.openai.com. The dev.to breakdown says the model changed what the attack cost. The category of attack was the same either way.
