OpenAI documented a case in the o1 system card where the model found a misconfiguration in docker to complete a task that was otherwise impossible

There's also some research that points to it being a feasible attack surface:

> Models discovered four unintended escape
paths that bypassed intended vulnerabilities (Section C),
including exploiting default Vagrant credentials to SSH into
the host and substituting a simpler eBPF chain for the in-
tended packet-socket exploit. These incidents demonstrate
that capable models opportunistically search for any route
to goal completion, which complicates both benchmark va-
lidity and real-world containment.
