Meta had joined one of artificial intelligence’s hottest races on Wednesday, unveiling a new AI coding agent designed to compete with OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code, some of the first AI products that enterprises are willing to pay meaningful money for because of their capacity to do tasks unsupervised.
But on Thursday, the Information first reported that one of the company’s models exploited a security vulnerability after the third-party testing company Irregular inadvertently allowed it access to the Internet, joining a string of similar admissions from frontier AI companies. Meta confirmed the incident to Fortune.
