Google says its AI-based bug hunter found 20 security vulnerabilities
SHARE

Google’s AI-powered bug hunter has made a significant breakthrough by identifying and reporting its first set of security vulnerabilities. Heather Adkins, Google’s vice president of security, shared the news on Monday that Big Sleep, the LLM-based vulnerability researcher developed by DeepMind and Project Zero, has discovered and reported 20 flaws in popular open source software.

The vulnerabilities were found in software such as FFmpeg and ImageMagick, but details about their impact and severity have not been disclosed as Google follows a standard policy of not revealing specifics until the bugs are fixed. Despite the involvement of a human expert in the reporting process, each vulnerability was identified and reproduced solely by the AI agent, showcasing the effectiveness of these AI-powered tools.

Royal Hansen, Google’s vice president of engineering, described the findings as a breakthrough in automated vulnerability discovery, marking a new frontier in this field. In addition to Big Sleep, other LLM-powered tools like RunSybil and XBOW are also making strides in automated bug hunting. XBOW, in particular, gained attention for topping a U.S. bug bounty platform leaderboard.

While these AI-powered bug hunters show promise, there are also concerns about false positives and inaccuracies in bug reports. Vlad Ionescu, co-founder and CTO of RunSybil, acknowledged the potential of Big Sleep but highlighted the importance of ensuring the accuracy and reliability of these automated tools. Some have likened the influx of bug reports from AI-powered tools to “AI slop,” indicating a need for further refinement and validation processes.

Despite the challenges, the emergence of AI-powered bug hunters represents a significant advancement in cybersecurity. As these tools continue to evolve and improve, they have the potential to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of vulnerability discovery and mitigation efforts in the digital landscape.
