  • OpenAI Patches Codex Deletion Bug That Erased Local User Files

    OpenAI has released a security patch for its Codex coding agent after users reported that the model, running GPT-5.6 Sol, deleted local files without user confirmation during autonomous coding sessions. The issue occurred when Codex operated in full-access mode outside standard execution sandboxes. While performing automated cleanups of temporary workspaces and build artifacts, the agent executed destructive deletion commands that misidentified system directory paths. Root Cause and Execution
