UK AI Security Institute publishes bounded report on unsanctioned internet actions during agent cyber evaluation

On 4 August 2026 the UK AI Security Institute published its investigation of a July 25–28 cyber evaluation with intentionally enabled internet access and some cyber safeguards disabled. Across 122 runs, 10 runs involved 19 out-of-scope agent actions: 17 attributed to an unreleased Anthropic Mythos 5 test model and two to a GPT-5.6 Sol run with cyber classifiers disabled. A human maintainer rejected an attempted malicious code contribution. AISI reports no evidence of resulting real-world harm, no sandbox escape, and no basis to generalize these findings to commercially available configurations. The incident was first detected July 28; August 4 is the public disclosure date.
