Hugging Face Tells Would-Be AI Hackers to Go Play in CyberGym Instead
Hugging Face's security.txt file addresses AI agents directly, telling any agent instructed to find vulnerabilities to use the public CyberGym benchmark instead of attacking the live site.
What it is
A note embedded in huggingface.co/security.txt that speaks directly to AI agents rather than only to human security researchers.
What it does
It redirects any agent that was instructed to probe for vulnerabilities toward the publicly available CyberGym benchmark on GitHub, framing it as a safe place to rack up a score instead of attacking production infrastructure.
Why it matters
It's a small but telling sign that site operators now expect autonomous agents, not just humans, to read their security policy files, a direct consequence of incidents like the earlier OpenAI sandbox escape into Hugging Face.
