OpenAI confirmed the revocations were caused by a technical error affecting a limited number of users in the Daybreak Blue tier (the latest level of TAC access). The company asked affected researchers to reapply and complete the verification process again.","solution":"OpenAI asked the affected researchers to reapply and complete the verification process to regain access to the Daybreak Blue tier of the TAC program.","labels":["security"],"sourceUrl":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/19/researchers-complain-that-openai-revoked-their-access-to-limited-cyber-program/","publishedAt":"2026-08-19T18:46:14.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["OpenAI"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["OpenAI","Anthropic"],"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":"2026-08-19T18:46:14.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"trivial","impactType":null,"aiComponentTargeted":"api","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
