No. 26 of 111 with a score of 0.68. The panel rated it highest on technical depth (0.88) and reader interest (0.84), lowest on significance (0.59). Placed No. 26, No. 15 by score alone: the tenth Security story of the day (−0.080). The placement terms move stories; they are not part of the score.
- AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
- Detailed security research on an AI vendor's sandbox, with reproduced token recovery and bypass steps, but the write-up is partly anecdotal, self-described as not a formal disclosure, and vendor-disputed.
- AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
- A detailed, evidence-backed investigation of AI sandbox boundaries, memory exposure, token recovery, file-path validation, networking capabilities, and enterprise authorization. Its caveats reduce overclaiming, though some key evidence and reproduction details are omitted.
