OpenAI announced its security researchers built an autonomous pipeline for cyber vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and patching. In a single run with an upcoming cyber-specialized model, it validated and generated patches for 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel at a total API cost of $1.2 million. Commenters suggested ranking future results by CVE score or kernel patch acceptance rates, and the demo reignites debate over the offensive/defensive implications of automated vulnerability discovery.
