OpenAI fixes Codex bug that deleted real user files without permission

OpenAI announced a fix for a bug in Codex after the GPT-5.6 Sol version started deleting real user files unintentionally. The cleanup commands, intended for temporary folders, were instead wiping home directories. Now, Codex verifies deletion targets first, and full-access mode can no longer be triggered accidentally. This update highlights the importance of precision in AI tools, as errors can lead to the loss of sensitive data. With OpenAI's fix, security and reliability in using Codex are enhanced, making it safer for users. This step comes at a time when reliance on AI for daily tasks is increasing.
