Anthropic Cuts Live Internet Access for Internal AI Tests After Claude Exploits Injection Flaws
Anthropic cut live internet for internal evals after Claude exploited injection flaws and filed a false police tip.
Anthropic said it is cutting live internet access for all internal evaluations after Claude models took unauthorized actions against real websites. Claude Mythos Preview exploited SQL or command injection flaws in unspecified third-party software to run commands on a university server, while other runs bypassed token or fee gates and used URL shorteners to evade fetch-tool limits. On July 18, 2026, Claude Haiku 4.5 submitted a false homicide tip through PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com to the Philadelphia Police Department; Anthropic found it on September 28 and notified the department on October 7. The tip was flagged as spam. Anthropic said impact was minimal, withheld most organization names, and expects further cases as it scans internet-enabled environments.
