Google’s AI Finds 20 Security Vulnerabilities in Real-World Software
Google has announced that its AI-based bug discovery tool, called OSS-Fuzz, has identified 20 security vulnerabilities across open-source software projects. The system uses large language models (LLMs) to autonomously find bugs in complex codebases, a task traditionally handled by security researchers. While the AI still requires some human validation, it marks a significant step forward in automating cybersecurity. The vulnerabilities included memory corruption bugs, which can be exploited for attacks, underlining the tool’s practical value.
This shows AI’s growing potential to transform and strengthen cybersecurity at scale—critical as both software complexity and cyber threats increase.
