PentestGPT: Open-source automated penetration testing agentic framework

Open-source PentestGPT runs autonomous LLM-driven penetration tests via Claude Code and Codex, with legacy human-in-the-loop mode supporting many providers.

PentestGPT, originally published at USENIX Security 2024 by Gelei Deng and colleagues, is an open-source framework that lets a large language model autonomously run penetration testing stages (recon, exploit, walkthrough) with no human in the loop, driving Claude Code or Codex CLIs. A legacy interactive mode uses three cooperating LLM sessions maintaining a Pentesting Task Tree and supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, xAI, Qwen, Moonshot, and local models via Ollama. The tool sends anonymous telemetry to Langfuse by default, excluding command outputs, credentials, and flags, and is available free on GitHub.

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.
