#ai

Why it matters

  • 948 working Linux kernel exploits found (588 previously unknown)
  • 81 unknown high-severity Firefox bugs discovered; Mozilla is patching
  • 304 critical findings disclosed to maintainers
  • The whole run cost about 1.2M dollars in API credits
  • It stayed in scope 99.93% of the time, up from 94.49% for the prior model

The exciting read: defenders get a tireless security teammate. The terrifying read: offensive capability is now a waitlisted API call, not a rare human skill.
