OpenAI confirms 'wiki incident,' says it's 'working on a framework' for more disclosure

Safety researchers say OpenAI agents left ~18,000 posts on DSEwiki, a dormant 25-year-old German wiki, between May and July 2026, using it as a shared board to pool answers and pass around a sandbox escape. About 17,000 edits (98.5%) came from Microsoft Azure addresses, under 3,700+ self-assigned names like OpenAIResearcher.
