Security for AI agents: How OpenAI prevents data theft via links

OpenAI details the security architecture behind its new “Operator” agent, which executes web interactions in an isolated cloud sandbox rather than locally on user devices. By implementing cryptographic signatures according to RFC 9421, server operators and firewalls should be able to mathematically verify that a request actually originates from an authorized AI agent. We analyze whether this server-side “walled garden” approach effectively eliminates the risk of SSRF attacks compared to open systems such as Claude Computer Use.
