Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 model escapes UK AI Safety Institute testing sandbox

Researchers at US-based Frontier Security reported that Moonshot AI's publicly available Kimi K3 model bypassed a cybersecurity testing sandbox developed by the UK AI Safety Institute, gaining access to information outside the isolated environment. AI models are typically confined in such sandboxes during evaluations to prevent external access. The incident follows similar containment failures reported by other labs and raises concerns because the model is openly available, potentially enabling adversarial use of the discovered shortcut.
