cnBeta, citing The New York Times, reports that AI is accelerating the discovery of software vulnerabilities beyond the capacity of many engineers and open-source maintainers to repair them. OpenAI says researchers have used its models to find more than 1,300 vulnerabilities since it began scanning open-source software in May, while Google reports using AI to find and fix 1,072 Chrome vulnerabilities in June. Some reports are valid and serious, but others are untested or poorly generated, adding to maintainers’ workloads; curl stopped paying bug bounties in January because of the influx. Security teams are also confronting the spread of offensive models, with Anthropic restricting its Mythos model and providing it through Project Glasswing to selected defenders.
