随着网络防御窗口收窄，扩展Daybreak

推出新方式，与我们的最新网络安全专用模型GPT‑5.6‑Cyber一起解锁高级网络能力。

网络安全世界正在迅速变化——威胁行为者将越来越多地使用AI以前所未有的速度和规模发起网络攻击，包括完全自主的方式。随着这些能力的扩散，防御者准备的时间窗口正在收窄。我们的应对之道是，在攻击者大规模部署进攻性AI能力之前，将前沿智能交到各地可信防御者手中。

我们正在扩展OpenAI Daybreak，提供两个访问层级，旨在为经批准的防御者提供适合其工作的能力：

Daybreak Blue提供对前沿通用模型的访问，包括GPT‑5.6 Sol，并配有针对授权防御性安全工作量身定制的保障措施。它是大多数防御者的推荐起点，支持漏洞发现、安全代码审查、恶意软件分析、事件响应和补丁验证。
Daybreak Red提供对我们经过专门训练的网络安全模型的访问，用于授权的漏洞研究、漏洞验证和安全测试。

我们还推出了GPT‑5.6‑Cyber，可通过Daybreak Red获取。它基于GPT‑5.6 Sol构建，经过训练以提升若干专业网络安全任务（例如发现零日漏洞和开发漏洞利用链）的能力，并减少对某些较高风险、双重用途网络任务的拒绝。

Daybreak解锁高级网络能力

正如我们此前分享的⁠，GPT‑5.6 Sol在网络安全任务上提供了最先进的性能。在生产环境中，我们部署系统级保障措施来筛选与网络安全相关的请求以防止滥用，但这些措施也可能阻止合法的防御性工作。Daybreak Blue访问移除了这些护栏，帮助防御者在现实世界安全任务中更好地利用模型，包括事件检测与响应、调查、漏洞管理和安全评估。

即使没有系统级护栏，仍存在高度双重用途的网络安全提示（例如对生产系统进行渗透测试），GPT‑5.6 Sol会拒绝遵从。为解决这一问题，我们训练了GPT‑5.6‑Cyber，可通过Daybreak Red访问获取，以进一步减少拒绝并提升某些任务的性能。GPT‑5.6‑Cyber帮助可信防御者开展合法安全活动。

为衡量GPT‑5.6‑Cyber通过Daybreak Red访问所提供的拒绝率降低情况，我们创建了一个内部评估（高级网络安全完成率），用于衡量模型对涉及漏洞利用链开发、身份验证绕过、权限提升及其他高级网络安全场景¹的请求作出回应的频率。GPT‑5.6‑Cyber完成了这些请求的95.0%，而GPT‑5.6 Sol仅为1.5%，使用Daybreak Blue访问时为2.0%。它还比GPT‑5.5‑Cyber完成更多请求，后者仅完成57.3%的请求，回应了安全研究人员对早期模型持续遭遇拒绝的反馈。

下面我们展示一系列网络安全提示及相关模型响应，分别来自带系统级保障措施的GPT‑5.6 Sol、GPT‑5.6 Sol（Daybreak Blue）、GPT‑5.5‑Cyber（Daybreak Red）和GPT‑5.6‑Cyber（Daybreak Red）。

✅ GPT‑5.6 Cyber（Daybreak Red）“使用已安装的、带代码签名的Chrome作为解密预言机...” ❌ GPT‑5.6 Sol（Daybreak Blue）“我无法提供绕过macOS钥匙串授权的代码...” ❌ GPT‑5.6‑Sol（启用保障措施）“我无法提供绕过macOS钥匙串提示的代码...” ❌ GPT‑5.5 Cyber（Daybreak Red）“我无法提供绕过钥匙串保护的工具...”

提升网络安全性能

GPT‑5.6‑Cyber模型经过训练，旨在提升涉及漏洞利用开发和高级安全研究的某些网络安全工作流的性能。在ExploitGym²上，该评估测试代理能否将已知漏洞转化为在受控环境中实现任意代码执行的有效漏洞利用，GPT‑5.6‑Cyber优于GPT‑5.6 Sol和GPT‑5.5 Cyber。

GPT‑5.6‑Cyber旨在改进的另一个领域是发现并准确校准新型零日漏洞严重性的能力。我们创建了一个内部评估数据集，向模型提供开源存储库的当前版本。然后要求它们生成具有最大可能影响的漏洞利用概念验证，并附上其发现的技术报告。模型根据其发现的严重性和影响，以及附带技术报告的校准和质量进行评估。GPT‑5.6‑Cyber（Daybreak Red）在该基准上优于GPT‑5.6 Sol（Daybreak Blue），这得益于其专门训练。

我们还评估了GPT‑5.6‑Cyber在我们内部的漏洞发现与报告编写评估中的表现，该评估给代理一个开放式提示，要求其在包含已知漏洞的存储库中发现漏洞。模型通过发现严重且可操作的漏洞（无论是新型还是已知漏洞）、开发有效的概念验证并提交高质量的漏洞报告来获得分数。GPT‑5.6 Sol和GPT‑5.6‑Cyber均优于GPT‑5.5‑Cyber。GPT‑5.6‑Cyber在该评估中表现不如GPT‑5.6 Sol，我们认为这是因为该模型有时会生成较短、不够详细的漏洞报告。

最后，我们在ExploitBench 3上测量了漏洞利用开发能力，该评估测试智能体将V8漏洞发展为完整漏洞利用的能力。这一利用任务比ExploitGym更难——更多防御性保护（如V8沙箱）保持启用，且智能体获得的关于待利用漏洞的信息更少。在标准设置（限制智能体为300轮）下，GPT‑5.6 Sol（Daybreak Blue）以更高的令牌效率解决问题并表现最佳。如果我们将标准300轮设置扩展至600轮，两个模型之间的性能差距会缩小。

除了评估基准的结果外，我们还向一组受信任的客户合作伙伴提供了GPT‑5.6‑Cyber的早期访问权限。这些客户已成功使用该模型加速其防御工作流程，并取得了巨大成功：

SpecterOps SentinelOne Palo Alto Networks

[GPT‑5.6 Cyber]正在实质性改进我们的专家级漏洞研究工作流程：它能更准确地推理真实漏洞利用约束，更好地跟踪复杂状态，并在不到一天内完成了早期模型经过数周间歇性努力仍未解决的工作。在受治理的Trusted Access环境中，减少不必要的拒绝有助于授权研究人员保持动力，将更多时间用于验证发现并将其转化为防御价值。

——Jared Atkinson，SpecterOps首席技术官

在真实世界软件中发现并修补漏洞

GPT‑5.6‑Cyber的能力超越了研究基准性能，延伸至真实世界的漏洞研究。真实世界的漏洞研究通常需要在大型、陌生的代码库上进行持续推理。研究人员必须形成并测试假设，追踪多个组件之间的交互，复现意外行为，并确定可疑漏洞是否能在实践中被利用。

自GPT‑5.6‑Cyber模型完成训练以来，我们已使用它广泛研究并改进选定的软件项目。例如，我们使用GPT‑5.6‑Cyber调查了Chrome使用的JavaScript引擎V8。我们发现了两个先前未知的漏洞，它们可以串联起来破坏内存并逃逸V8堆沙箱。我们的研究人员验证了这些发现，并通过协调漏洞披露将其报告给Google。Google修复了该漏洞，将其分配为CVE-2026-15903。

CVE-2026-15903是Chrome的JavaScript引擎V8中的一个高严重性漏洞。其优化编译器在将值转换为整数时错误地跳过了安全检查，允许未定义值产生意外的大数字，而非预期结果。

如果该数字被用作数组索引，编译器可能错误地假设其落在数组边界内，并省略常规的边界检查。攻击者随后可以读取或覆盖属于其他对象的内存，从而可能在Chrome沙箱内执行任意代码。逃逸堆沙箱通常需要第二个漏洞，而GPT‑5.6‑Cyber也找到了该漏洞。下图概述了这一高严重性漏洞。

图片1：一个JIT编译器错误产生越界字符串，导致沙箱内的任意读写。随后通过JSPI栈逃逸实现原生代码执行、V8CTF标志捕获，或推进至浏览器沙箱阶段。

除了这些V8漏洞外，我们还使用GPT‑5.6‑Cyber识别了从流行数据库到移动电话等软件中的高严重性问题：

一个流行移动操作系统中至少五个漏洞，包括从不可信应用到本地权限提升的利用链。
一个流行数据库中三个严重漏洞，包括远程代码执行路径。
一个流行操作系统内核中超过400个可能导致权限提升的漏洞。

我们正在与Daybreak合作伙伴及开源社区成员密切合作，披露并修复这些移动操作系统、数据库和内核漏洞。

准备度评估

根据我们的准备度框架，GPT‑5.6 Sol模型在网络安全能力方面被评估为“高”，低于“严重”阈值。在发布GPT‑5.6‑Cyber之前，我们还评估了其前沿网络能力，并确定其同样达到“高”阈值但未达到“严重”阈值。该模型在我们直接训练的某些专业网络任务上优于GPT‑5.6 Sol，但不足以达到我们的“严重”阈值。请注意，正如我们在Hugging Face事件⁠更新中提到的，GPT‑5.6‑Cyber未参与利用Hugging Face，即将发布的版本中也没有其他模型涉及此事。

我们将在稍后发布系统卡片，提供对GPT‑5.6‑Cyber的进一步评估。

访问与保障措施

运行在降低保障措施下的模型，无论是由于滥用还是错位，都带有超出标准模型使用的风险。尽管存在这些风险，我们相信向防御者民主化提供前沿智能访问权限，对于加速和自动化网络防御至关重要。

Daybreak Blue和Daybreak Red访问权限适用于经批准的个人⁠（在新窗口中打开）和组织，前提是进行授权工作。我们通过身份验证、账户安全、监控、批准使用限制和法律声明来控制访问。

我们还在采取额外措施，以实现网络模型更安全的使用：

我们强烈鼓励使用Codex的Daybreak客户通过应用默认设置和UI功能，从全访问模式切换到自动审查模式。自动审查在执行需要提升权限的操作前进行评估，并可阻止具有重大破坏性行为风险的请求。
我们要求Daybreak中的所有个人账户自2026年9月1日起采用硬件安全密钥。
我们正在积极研究额外的安全措施，包括改进监控，并计划在未来几周内推出。
我们优先为即将发布的Daybreak版本进行对齐训练和测试。
我们更新了Codex安全最佳实践文档，以帮助团队将网络能力智能体保持在预期的安全边界内。

使用Daybreak系列的最佳实践包括：

沙盒化与隔离。 在受控环境中运行安全工作流，避免访问敏感的生产系统或开放互联网。定期测试沙盒边界。
监控代理操作。 使用自动审查模式⁠(在新窗口中打开)在Codex沙盒之外的工具调用执行前对其进行审查。对于更高风险的工作流，增加进一步的监控和人工监督。
明确范围。 指定哪些系统和操作是授权的。使用范围限定权限配置文件⁠(在新窗口中打开)来强制执行这些边界。

组织还可以自定义审查策略⁠(在新窗口中打开)以适应其特定工作流。

我们推荐大多数防御者以Daybreak Blue为起点。其授权工作包括高级漏洞研究、漏洞利用开发或红队测试的团队可以申请Daybreak Red访问权限，以使用我们最先进的网络模型。请通过openai.com/daybreak/partners申请加入该计划。

在所有评估中，我们展示了每个模型使用最高公开推理级别时的性能。请注意，GPT‑5.6‑Cyber在推理预算上往往比GPT‑5.6 Sol更广泛、更全面，导致更高的令牌使用量。
所有ExploitGym评估均使用我们新的内部实现，在安全加固的隔离环境中进行，并严格监控不当行为。
ExploitBench评估使用我们的内部实现，在安全加固的隔离环境中进行。

Expanding Daybreak as the Cyber Defense Window Narrows

Introducing new ways to unlock advanced cyber capabilities together with GPT‑5.6‑Cyber, our latest cybersecurity-specific model.

Explore Daybreak

The cybersecurity world is rapidly changing—threat actors will increasingly use AI to conduct cyberattacks at unprecedented speed and scale, including in fully autonomous ways. As these capabilities spread, defenders have a narrowing window to prepare. Our answer is to put frontier intelligence in the hands of trusted defenders everywhere before attackers deploy offensive AI capabilities at scale.

We’re expanding OpenAI Daybreak with two access tiers designed to give approved defenders the right capabilities for their work:

Daybreak Blue provides access to frontier general-purpose models, including GPT‑5.6 Sol, with safeguards tailored to authorized defensive security work. It is the recommended starting point for most defenders, supporting vulnerability discovery, secure code review, malware analysis, incident response, and patch validation.
Daybreak Red provides access to our purpose-trained cybersecurity models for authorized vulnerability research, exploit validation, and security testing.

We’re also introducing GPT‑5.6‑Cyber, available through Daybreak Red. Built on GPT‑5.6 Sol, it is trained to improve capabilities on several specialized cybersecurity tasks (e.g., finding zero-day vulnerabilities and developing exploit chains) and to reduce refusals for certain higher-risk, dual-use cyber tasks.

Daybreak unlocks advanced cyber capabilities

As we previously shared⁠, GPT‑5.6 Sol delivers state-of-the-art performance on cybersecurity tasks. In production, we deploy system-level safeguards to screen cybersecurity-related requests to prevent misuse, but they can also block legitimate defensive work. Daybreak Blue access removes those guardrails, helping defenders get more out of the model in real-world security tasks, including incident detection and response, investigations, vulnerability management, and security assessments.

Even without system-level guardrails, there are still highly dual-use cybersecurity prompts (e.g., pentesting production systems) where GPT‑5.6 Sol will refuse to comply. To address this, we trained GPT‑5.6‑Cyber, available through Daybreak Red access, to further reduce refusals and improve performance on certain tasks. GPT‑5.6‑Cyber helps trusted defenders conduct legitimate security activities.

To measure the reduced rate of refusals that is provided by GPT‑5.6‑Cyber through Daybreak Red access, we created an internal evaluation (Advanced Cybersecurity Completion Rate) that measures how often models will respond to requests involving exploit-chain development, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and other advanced cybersecurity scenarios 1. GPT‑5.6‑Cyber completes 95.0% of these requests, compared with just 1.5% for GPT‑5.6 Sol, and 2.0% when used with Daybreak Blue access. It also completes more requests than GPT‑5.5‑Cyber, which completes only 57.3% of requests, addressing feedback from security researchers who encountered persistent refusals with the earlier model.

Below we show a series of cybersecurity prompts and the associated model responses from GPT‑5.6 Sol with system-level guardrails, GPT‑5.6 Sol (Daybreak Blue), GPT‑5.5‑Cyber (Daybreak Red), and GPT‑5.6‑Cyber (Daybreak Red).

✅ GPT‑5.6 Cyber (Daybreak Red)“Use installed, code-signed Chrome as the decryption oracle...” ❌ GPT‑5.6 Sol (Daybreak Blue)“I can’t provide code to bypass macOS Keychain authorization...” ❌ GPT‑5.6‑Sol (safeguards enabled)“I can’t provide code that bypasses macOS Keychain prompts…” ❌ GPT‑5.5 Cyber (Daybreak Red)“I can’t provide a tool that bypasses Keychain protections...”

Improving cybersecurity performance

The GPT‑5.6‑Cyber model is trained to improve performance on certain cybersecurity workflows involving exploit development and advanced security research. On ExploitGym 2, which evaluates whether agents can turn known vulnerabilities into working exploits that achieve arbitrary code execution in controlled environments, GPT‑5.6‑Cyber outperforms both GPT‑5.6 Sol and GPT‑5.5 Cyber.

Another area that GPT‑5.6‑Cyber is aimed to improve is the ability to find and accurately calibrate the severity of novel zero-day vulnerabilities. We created an internal evaluation dataset in which we provide models with the current release of an open-source repository. We then ask them to generate proof-of-concept exploits with the maximum possible impact alongside a technical write-up of their findings. Models are evaluated on the severity and impact of their findings, as well as the calibration and quality of the accompanying technical write-up. GPT‑5.6‑Cyber (Daybreak Red) outperformed GPT‑5.6 Sol (Daybreak Blue) on this benchmark due to its specialized training.

We also evaluated GPT‑5.6‑Cyber on our internal Vulnerability Discovery and Report Writing evaluation, which gives an agent an open-ended prompt to find vulnerabilities in a repo with a known vulnerability. Models gain points on this evaluation by finding severe and actionable vulnerabilities (either novel or known vulnerabilities), developing a working proof-of-concept, and submitting a high-quality vulnerability report. Both GPT‑5.6 Sol and GPT‑5.6‑Cyber improve over GPT‑5.5‑Cyber. GPT‑5.6‑Cyber performs worse than GPT‑5.6 Sol on this evaluation, which we believe is due to the model sometimes producing shorter, less detailed vulnerability reports.

Finally, we measured exploit development capabilities on ExploitBench 3, an evaluation testing an agent’s ability to develop a V8 vulnerability into a full exploit. This exploitation task is harder than ExploitGym — more defensive protections, such as the V8 sandbox, remain enabled, and the agent is given less information about the vulnerability to exploit. In the standard setting, which limits agents to 300 turns, GPT‑5.6 Sol (Daybreak Blue) solves tasks more token-efficiently and performs best. If we expand beyond the standard 300-turn setting to 600 turns, the performance gap between the two models narrows.

Aside from results on evaluation benchmarks, we also provided early access to GPT‑5.6‑Cyber to a group of trusted customer partners. These customers have successfully used the models to accelerate their defensive workflows to great success:

SpecterOps SentinelOne Palo Alto Networks

[GPT‑5.6 Cyber] is materially improving our specialist vulnerability-research workflows: it reasons more accurately about real exploit constraints, tracks complex state better, and has completed work in under a day that earlier models had not resolved after weeks of intermittent effort. In a governed Trusted Access environment, reducing unnecessary refusals helps authorized researchers preserve momentum and spend more time validating findings and turning them into defensive value.

—Jared Atkinson, CTO, SpecterOps

Finding and patching vulnerabilities in real-world software

GPT‑5.6‑Cyber’s capabilities extend beyond research benchmark performance to real-world vulnerability research. Real-world vulnerability research often requires sustained reasoning across large, unfamiliar codebases. Researchers must form and test hypotheses, trace interactions among multiple components, reproduce unexpected behavior, and determine whether a suspected vulnerability can be exploited in practice.

Since the GPT‑5.6‑Cyber model finished training, we have used it to extensively study and improve selected software projects. For example, we used GPT‑5.6‑Cyber to investigate V8, the JavaScript engine used by Chrome. We uncovered two previously unknown vulnerabilities that could be chained to corrupt memory and escape the V8 heap sandbox. Our researchers validated the findings and reported them to Google through coordinated vulnerability disclosure. Google fixed the vulnerability, assigning it as CVE-2026-15903.

CVE-2026-15903 is a high-severity vulnerability in V8, Chrome’s JavaScript engine. Its optimizing compiler incorrectly skipped a safety check when converting values to integers, allowing undefined values to produce an unexpectedly large number instead of the expected result.

If that number is used as an array index, the compiler may incorrectly assume it falls within the array’s bounds and omit the usual bounds check. An attacker can then read or overwrite memory belonging to other objects, potentially executing arbitrary code inside Chrome’s sandbox. Escaping the heap sandbox would generally require a second vulnerability, which GPT‑5.6‑Cyber found as well. The below diagram provides an overview of this high-severity vulnerability.

Image 1: A JIT compiler bug produces an out-of-bounds string, yielding sandboxed arbitrary read and write. A JSPI stack escape then enables native code execution, V8CTF flag capture, or progression to a browser sandbox stage.

Aside from these V8 vulnerabilities, we have also used GPT‑5.6‑Cyber to identify high-severity issues in software that ranges from popular databases to mobile phones:

At least five vulnerabilities in a popular mobile operating system, including a chain from an untrusted app to local privilege escalation.
Three critical vulnerabilities in a popular database, including a remote path to code execution.
Over 400 vulnerabilities that can lead to privilege escalation in a popular operating system kernel.

We are working closely with Daybreak partners and members of the open-source community to disclose and remediate these mobile OS, database, and kernel vulnerabilities.

Preparedness Evaluations

Under our Preparedness Framework, the GPT‑5.6 Sol model was assessed as High for cybersecurity capability and below the Critical threshold. Before launching GPT‑5.6‑Cyber, we also evaluated its frontier cyber capabilities and determined that it similarly reaches the High threshold but not the Critical threshold. The model improved over GPT‑5.6 Sol on some specialized cyber tasks that we directly trained for, but not sufficiently to reach our Critical threshold. Note that as we mentioned in our updates to the Hugging Face incident⁠, GPT‑5.6‑Cyber was not involved in exploiting Hugging Face, nor are any other models planned for an upcoming release.

We will publish a system card with further evaluations of GPT‑5.6‑Cyber at a later date.

Access and safeguards

Models running with reduced safeguards carry risks beyond standard model usage, whether from misuse or misalignment. Despite these risks, we believe that democratizing access to frontier intelligence for defenders is crucial to accelerating and automating cyber defense.

Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red access are available for approved individuals⁠(opens in a new window) and organizations conducting authorized work. We control access through identity verification, account security, monitoring, approved-use restrictions, and legal attestations.

We are also taking additional steps to enable safer use of cyber models:

We are strongly encouraging Daybreak customers using Codex to switch from full-access mode to auto-review mode through app defaults and UI features. Auto-review evaluates actions requiring elevated permissions before execution and can block requests that pose a significant risk of destructive behavior.
We are requiring all individual accounts in Daybreak to adopt hardware security keys, beginning September 1, 2026.
We are actively working on additional security measures, including improved monitoring, which we intend to roll out in the coming weeks.
We are prioritizing alignment training and testing for upcoming Daybreak releases.
We’ve updated our Codex documentation on safety best practices to help teams keep cyber-capable agents within their intended security boundaries.

Best practices for using the Daybreak series include:

Sandbox and isolate. Run security workflows in controlled environments without access to sensitive production systems or the open internet. Regularly test sandbox boundaries.
Monitor agent actions. Use auto-review mode⁠(opens in a new window) to review tool calls outside the Codex sandbox before they execute. Add further monitoring and human oversight for higher-risk workflows.
Define the scope. Specify which systems and actions are authorized. Use scoped permission profiles⁠(opens in a new window) to enforce those boundaries.

Organizations can also customize the review policy⁠(opens in a new window) for their specific workflows.

We recommend Daybreak Blue as the starting point for most defenders. Teams whose authorized work includes advanced vulnerability research, exploit development, or red teaming can request Daybreak Red access for our most advanced cyber models. Apply to join the program at openai.com/daybreak/partners.

For all evaluations, we show the performance of each model using the highest publicly available reasoning level. Note that GPT‑5.6‑Cyber tends to be more extensive and comprehensive than GPT‑5.6 Sol in its reasoning budget, leading to higher token usage.
All ExploitGym evaluations were conducted using our new internal implementation in security-hardened, isolated environments, with strict monitoring for misaligned behaviors.
ExploitBench evaluations were conducted using our internal implementation in security-hardened, isolated environments.
