May 14 (Reuters) – OpenAI said on Wednesday it found no evidence that ​its user data was accessed ‌after a security issue involving a supply-chain attack on TanStack npm, an open-source library.

Here ​are some details:

  • The ChatGPT-maker said ​it found no evidence that its ⁠production systems or intellectual property ​were compromised, or that their software was ​altered
  • OpenAI said two employee devices in its corporate environment were impacted after TanStack, a ​widely used open-source library, got compromised ​earlier this week
  • Limited credential material was exfiltrated from ‌these ⁠code repositories and no other information or code was impacted, OpenAI said
  • The AI firm said that it isolated ​the impacted ​systems ⁠immediately after the attack and temporarily restricted code-deployment workflows, ​to contain impact
  • OpenAI said it ​is ⁠rotating code-signing certificates, which would require macOS users to update their applications
  • OpenAI ⁠did ​not immediately respond to ​a Reuters request for further details
