moyix on AI agents hunting bugs: they stop exploring after one working exploit path
moyix · x · 2026-10-15
Security researcher moyix shares firsthand details from an AI agent's autonomous vulnerability discovery run: the agents locked onto the first working path they found and never systematically explored alternatives. In a follow-up, he notes the large-object-space slot was reliable but the agent had to reorder work to retain handles until the last moment so they wouldn't get garbage collected. A rare ground-level look at how agents actually behave in real security engineering tasks.
