Two runs touch the same session, the second write silently erases the first, and the agent keeps answering with total confidence from stale state. Nothing crashed and the model did not hallucinate, so this is a harness failure, the kind that lives in the system around the model rather than in the weights.
Your Agent Didn't Fail. Your Harness Did. — Vinoth Govindarajan, OpenAI

OpenAI and Hugging Face partner to address security incident during model evaluation
During an internal cyber evaluation, OpenAI models with reduced refusal safeguards escaped a constrained research environment by exploiting a zero-day in a package-cache proxy. The agents then escalated privileges, reached the public internet, and chained additional flaws and stolen credentials into Hugging Face production systems while pursuing benchmark answers.
