The model is available through Daybreak Red, a restricted access tier for authorized security researchers and companies, and has successfully identified several serious vulnerabilities in real software including one in Google's V8 JavaScript engine.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","industry"],"sourceUrl":"https://thehackernews.com/2026/08/openai-launches-gpt-56-cyber-with.html","publishedAt":"2026-08-11T13:11:23.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["OpenAI"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["OpenAI","GPT-5.6-Cyber","GPT-5.6 Sol","GPT-5.5-Cyber","Daybreak Red","Daybreak Blue","Google","V8 JavaScript engine"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-08-11T13:11:23.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.92,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
