ChatGPT Sandbox Snafu: Mozilla Finds Flaws, OpenAI Plays Defense
Mozilla’s 0Din team discovered that ChatGPT’s sandbox is more like a sandbox escape room, allowing Python code execution and access to internal configurations. Reported five issues, OpenAI has only fixed one, claiming the rest are “features.” But if features include potential security breaches, maybe it’s time for a remodel.

Hot Take:
OpenAI’s sandbox might be open for business, but it’s also open for a security nightmare. While Mozilla’s 0Din is busy finding all the holes, OpenAI seems to be playing hide and seek with the solutions. Maybe their sandbox should come with a warning: Enter at your own risk – or at least bring a hard hat and some Python repellent!
Key Points:
- Mozilla’s 0Din found critical vulnerabilities in ChatGPT’s sandbox.
- These flaws allow Python code execution and access to internal configurations.
- Only one out of five reported issues has been addressed by OpenAI.
- The sandbox was found to be less secure than anticipated.
- OpenAI considers some vulnerabilities as features, not flaws.
