_1xwtict1\">Last August, some of the best cybersecurity teams in the business gathered in Las Vegas to demonstrate the strength of their AI bug-finding systems at DARPA\u2019s Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge (AIxCC). The tools had scanned 54 million lines of actual software code that DARPA had injected with artificial flaws. The teams were capable enough to identify most of the artificial bugs, but their automated tools went beyond that \u2014 they found more than a dozen bugs that DARPA hadn\u2019t inserted at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Even before the security earthquake that Anthropic delivered this month with Claude Mythos \u2014 the new AI model that seems to find vulnerabilities in every piece of software it\u2019s pointed at \u2014 automated systems were growing increasingly capable of finding coding flaws. And fears are growing that not only can AI detect these flaws, but also be used to exploit them, putting hacking skills into the hands of everyone across the planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj2 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote qnnwq0\">\n<div class=\"qnnwq1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup qnnwq2 _1xwtict9\">\u201cMythos or not, this is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">This isn\u2019t an empty threat. For decades, this type of no-skill hacker, known as a script kiddie, has wreaked havoc, running scripts they ripped from the internet or copied from exploit tool kits. They didn\u2019t fully understand or have the technical know-how to write these scripts themselves. And yet they were still able to deface websites and propagate viruses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj1 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--related _1ymtmqpj _1m6r73h0\">\n<h3 class=\"_1m6r73h1\">Related<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"_1m6r73h4\">\n<li class=\"_1m6r73h7 _1m6r73h6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/ai-artificial-intelligence\/916501\/anthropic-mythos-unauthorized-users-access-security\" class=\"_1m6r73h9\">Anthropic\u2019s most dangerous AI model just fell into the wrong hands<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"_1m6r73h7 _1m6r73h6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/ai-artificial-intelligence\/917644\/anthropic-claude-mythos-breach-humiliation\" class=\"_1m6r73h9\">Anthropic\u2019s Mythos breach was humiliating<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"_1m6r73h7 _1m6r73h6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/policy\/916758\/anthropic-mythos-preview-cisa-left-out\" class=\"_1m6r73h9\">Anthropic\u2019s Mythos rollout has missed America\u2019s cybersecurity agency<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">What\u2019s happening now represents a major escalation, where people without technical backgrounds are able to use AI to enhance their capabilities in a way that wasn\u2019t possible with simple scripts.

A week after announcing Mythos, the company released Claude Opus 4.7, which for the first time built in safeguards meant to block malicious cybersecurity requests. (Security professionals who want to use the model defensively can apply to the company\u2019s Cyber Verification Program.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Anthropic\u2019s announcement of Mythos sent shockwaves throughout the industry, but there were warning signs of AI\u2019s cybersecurity prowess prior to it. In June 2025, the autonomous offensive security platform XBOW beat out human hackers to top the leaderboard of HackerOne, a bug bounty platform, indicating big leaps in the ability of AI models to find bugs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">By the time AIxCC rolled around, \u201cthere were already 10 to 20 different bug-finding systems that could find orders of multitude more bugs than we could patch,\u201d Guido said. \u201cThis is actually not a new problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj2 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote qnnwq0\">\n<div class=\"qnnwq1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup qnnwq2 _1xwtict9\">\u201c2026 is the year when all security debt comes due\u2026 2026 is the make-it-or-break-it year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">AI is great at pattern matching, and it\u2019s becoming easier and easier for people to find variants of bugs that are already known and ones that have not yet been discovered. And writing exploits is becoming easier as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cYou can use AI tools and with very minimal human guidance, and in some cases no human guidance, find a zero day in widely used software,\u201d said Tim Becker, senior security researcher at Theori, which was also a finalist in the competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The concern is palpable across the industry, and improvements to models \u2014 along with improved understanding of their capabilities \u2014 are happening at lightning speed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Open-weight models, or models whose trained parameters (also known as weights) are publicly available, also pose risk. In fact, sophisticated threat actors would be far more likely to run their own deployments to prevent the exploits from being exposed on Anthropic or OpenAI servers, Becker said, as Anthropic <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.openai.com\/api\/docs\/guides\/your-data#types-of-data-stored-with-the-openai-api\">may retain data to monitor abuse<\/a>. And the industry is bracing for what may come next. Other model creators may not be as cautious as Anthropic, potentially unleashing their powerful new tools straight to the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cMythos or not, this is coming,\u201d Guido says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Mythos represents a step up at writing exploits, but current models are capable, too. Security researchers are already using more widely available models to report vulnerabilities to vendors before they\u2019re exploited in the wild. That means there\u2019s also the risk of malicious actors using them for ill purposes, such as creating exploits for oppressive regimes or stealing sensitive data on their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Industry experts predict that the advancement in AI security capabilities is going to lead to a lot more exploits.

The report also emphasized the need to not only patch vulnerabilities but also to identify which ones to prioritize. But the need to match machine speed threats is new, and the amount of bug reports is already skyrocketing, leading to the need to prepare for more incidents and mitigate and contain them at a faster rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Moussouris says that many people in cybersecurity roles have been laid off because of AI\u2019s efficiencies, even though those efficiencies are exactly why more humans need to remain in the mix. Companies will need human threat hunters, threat intelligence officers, and incident responders to deal with the onslaught of new exploits. And they\u2019ll need people to decide which patches to prioritize and implement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cWe don\u2019t have the AI defensive equivalent to automate all of those tasks, and I think we\u2019re going to need to staff up and hire a lot of people,\u201d she said. And organizations will need to build out secure software and secure architecture for networks to avoid ending up in an endless cycle of patching. \u201cYou have to build more secure software in the first place.

Waiting too long risks active attacks on services that target vulnerabilities found by AI, perhaps even using exploits written by the models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cFrom the time a vulnerability is announced to the time where there is exploit code available has now shrunk to pretty much zero, and that is a major adjustment that I think people will have to take into account in their risk assessments and how long they can take to do things and how many resources they are applying towards this problem,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">There is an opportunity to use AI to at least speed up the remediation or mitigation process. Becker says that Theori is building a commercial tool called Xint that it\u2019s been running on open-source codebases, manually reporting high-severity findings to maintainers by sending detailed reports along with remediation suggestions on its own dime, both as a community hardening project and to demonstrate the tool\u2019s capabilities. Xint\u2019s current version was <a href=\"https:\/\/go.xint.io\/xint-mythos-appsec-findings-report\">able to find all the bugs Mythos did<\/a> when scanning the same codebases. It also found 12 additional zero-day vulnerabilities that were not part of Anthropic\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">But mitigating these bugs will not be as quick as finding them because it requires engineers who are extremely familiar with the codebase to determine whether the patches are the best way to fix the issues found or whether they may make the code less maintainable or harder to understand in the future. Sometimes a patch represents a way to fix a problem, but not the best way, so it\u2019ll take human time and effort to get the solutions to the finish line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The huge surge in bugs being reported can lead to a long queue of things to patch, especially for <a href=\"https:\/\/xkcd.com\/2347\/\">open-source maintainers<\/a>, who may be unable to keep up with the load.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">While not all bugs are useful in an attacker\u2019s tool kit, sorting through the pile to determine which ones are a priority to fix can be almost as difficult as fixing them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cA lot of the prioritization needs to be contextual,\u201d Moussouris said. For example, a very bad bug running internally that would be hard for an outsider to access might be lower priority than a less critical bug that is exposed on the company\u2019s perimeter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Beyond prioritization of bugs, organizations will also need to decide when to apply patches that restrict functionality and may even lead to downtime, and when to wait. The fewer security controls they have in place, the more time they will need for patching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Simply putting out a patch makes it easier for attackers to reverse engineer the bug fix and exploit vulnerabilities they may have been otherwise unaware of on devices that have not yet been updated. That means that consumers, too, will need to get used to updating their software as critical fixes for security flaws increase dramatically. And organizations will want to invest in secure architecture to minimize the amount of patches they need to manage in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--block-placement _1o279nj2 _1o279nj0 duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-pullquote qnnwq0\">\n<div class=\"qnnwq1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup qnnwq2 _1xwtict9\">\u201cThe thing is, it\u2019s now or never.
