Google’s AI security agents found 100+ critical software vulnerabilities in just two days

Google Mandiant's AVDH, a chain of AI agents, found over 100 verified high-severity vulnerabilities and 12 assigned CVEs scanning code for ten months.

Google Mandiant disclosed AVDH (Agentic Vulnerability Discovery Harness), an internal pipeline of chained AI agents built on the Agent Development Kit that hunts vulnerabilities in source code. In a live investigation of stolen corporate repositories it verified more than 100 high-severity flaws in two days; over ten months it scanned tens of millions of lines of code and produced tens of thousands of findings, yielding 12 assigned CVEs including CVE-2026-13242 and CVE-2026-55803, with about a dozen more in active disclosure. Human consultants manually reproduce every confirmed finding before it counts.

Google’s $10,000 refund test shows why AI agents need zero trust

Google released an open-source zero-trust reference architecture for AI agents defending against prompt injection via signed database writes, gVisor sandboxing, and deterministic gating.

Google's demonstration, built on the Agent Development Kit (ADK) and Gemini, shows a customer support agent that could be manipulated into issuing a $10,000 refund on a $149 order and exposing environment variables via AI-generated Python. The architecture adds three security layers outside the model: cryptographic signatures on database writes verified via Cloud KMS backed by Cloud HSM, gVisor sandboxing of generated code with network egress disabled, and a Semantic Gateway applying deterministic checks to prompts and tool calls. It treats system prompts as insufficient boundaries because prompt injection, prompt tuning, or model updates can change agent behavior.
