OpenAI Warns Models Pose High Cybersecurity Risk
OpenAI said on December 11, 2025 it expects upcoming AI models to pose a "high" cybersecurity risk, including the potential to develop zero-day remote exploits or assist complex enterprise intrusion operations. The company said it is investing in defensive cybersecurity capabilities, auditing and patching tools, and relying on access controls, infrastructure hardening, egress controls and monitoring to mitigate those risks.
Key Points
- 1Warns models could develop zero-day remote exploits or assist complex enterprise intrusion operations.
- 2Cites advancing model capabilities that raise a high cybersecurity risk to real-world systems and infrastructure.
- 3Advises defenders to adopt access controls, egress filtering, infrastructure hardening, monitoring and defensive tooling.
Scoring Rationale
Official OpenAI warning highlights industry-wide cyber risks and mitigation, but provides limited technical evidence of exploit feasibility.
