OpenAI AI Pipeline Generates 948 Linux Root Escalation Exploits in 30-Hour Run

OpenAI detailed a pipeline using an upcoming cyber-focused AI model to validate and patch 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Linux for $1.2 million in API costs. The prototype identified 2,308 candidate kernel findings, dynamically reproduced 1,724 vulnerabilities, and produced 948 LPE exploits, marking a significant advance in automated security research.
