Story

OpenAI's system card classifies GPT-5.3-Codex as "High" for cybersecurity — meaning it can automate end-to-end cyber operations against hardened targets. This is explicitly dual-use: the same capability that makes it an excellent security auditor also makes it an unprecedented offensive tool. OpenAI launched its most comprehensive cybersecurity safety stack in response.
