An autonomous LLM agent was developed and tested against a $10,000 bounty challenge to escape a sandbox environment. Despite over 750 exploit attempts across four iterations of the agent architecture, no sandbox escapes were found. The process did, however, uncover one latent unsafe bug related to heap read provenance mismatch and documented several security advisories and CPython divergences. AI
