Three Indian-origin cybersecurity researchers, Harsh Jaiswal, Mohan Pedhapati and Rahul Maini, demonstrated how Anthropic's Claude AI could be used to exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to OpenAI employee accounts and the company's internal code repository, as per a Wall Street Journal report.
The researchers, who work at cybersecurity startup Hacktron AI, carried out the research in July 2026 while investigating security weaknesses at leading AI companies. They eventually chained two separate vulnerabilities to move from OpenAI's public community forum to employee ChatGPT and Codex accounts and then to an internal GitHub repository.
