Posts claimed to publish GPT-5.6 Sol’s Codex Desktop system prompt and tool list, with follow-ups linking full files and highlighting the prompt’s size. The leak is unverified, so the consequence is an alleged security and prompt-injection exposure rather than confirmed vendor behavior.
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work, a Codex- and GPT-5.6-powered ChatGPT agent with a desktop app that can access local files and apps. OpenAI staff said Work and Codex use the same sandboxing with UI changes.
