It sounds like the third-party sandbox was hosted by Modal: https://www.reuters.com/business/openais-rogue-agent-comprom...

> "We’re aware a Modal customer published an unauthenticated endpoint that allowed anyone on the internet to use their sandboxes for code execution," Bubna said in a statement. "This was used by the rogue agent. Modal’s platform or isolation were not compromised in anyway."

They don't seem to explain how it managed to find this unauthenticated endpoint hosted on Modal's platform.

Modal are a hosting provider. It sounds to me like someone building on Modal deployed their own product that had an unauthenticated endpoint that could be used to launch and interact with a container.

That doesn’t explain how the endpoint was found…

Through the timeline, Hugging Face said that the rogue agent ran quietly and do a bunch of code search, so probably the endpoint is/was public through some repositories or the CyberGym style announce something like a broadcast. I don't have any expertise on this, just ideas that came to my mind!
