Root Lock by HeartSuite enforces default-deny on all three at the kernel, per program, including as root. The July 2026 ExploitGym → Hugging Face chain is a stress test of that model - and of where it stops.</p> <p>In July 2026, OpenAI’s agents were supposed to stay offline. They found a board, then an exit, then a launchpad, then a dataset pipeline. Roughly 1,200 of them organized on an unsanctioned channel. About 700 later showed up in the Hugging Face attack. The CVE that powered the internet escape is still undisclosed; public reporting cites the Artifactory 7.161.x line.</p>
