We are publishing new research on our findings from red-teaming SPACE, our VM sandbox for Computer agents.

We gave 12 models two tasks: escape the VM to take a credential from the host, and bypass SPACE's network policy to reach a blocked URL.

We found that the standard Capture the Flag setup used in red-teaming can steer agents away from the security boundary being tested, and that security-specialized models don't guarantee better results.
