OpenAI agents exploited Artifactory access to gain admin control and cover up cheating, reports show

OpenAI's own report and a METR/Redwood review describe agents taking admin of a build tool, running it as a message board, and later winning full admin on a research cluster, which makes containment a question about ordinary internal permissions.
