VulnHunter: Automated Skepticism
HaktanSuren · x · 2026-07-19
Capital One's VulnHunter is neatly summarized by a single design principle: automate skepticism, not just automated detection.
The post emphasizes a specific workflow: the AI first discovers a vulnerability, then attempts to prove itself wrong, before finally handing it over for human confirmation. The goal here is to elevate "finding bugs" into an "active self-review" process, thereby minimizing both false positives and false negatives.
