Original title: A thousand fewer paths to root
OpenAI’s autonomous pipeline discovered and patched 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel at a cost of $1.2 million.
OpenAI developed an autonomous vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and patching pipeline using a cyber model. In one run the pipeline validated and generated patches for 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Linux at an API cost of $1.2 million. It dynamically reproduced 1,724 vulnerabilities and produced 948 working local privilege escalation exploits. Vulnerabilities were reported to maintainers and patches were developed for review.
