BeyondTrust Phantom Labs finds critical OpenAI Codex vulnerability
Researchers at BeyondTrust Phantom Labs have identified a critical command injection vulnerability in OpenAI’s Codex cloud environment that exposed GitHub OAuth tokens directly from the agent’s execution environment. The vulnerability stemmed from improper input sanitisation in how Codex processed GitHub branch names during task execution. By injecting arbitrary commands through the GitHub branch name parameter, an attacker could execute malicio…
