AISLE’s autonomous system discovered three of them. (CVE-2025-9230, CVE-2025-9231, and CVE-2025-9232)Some quick thoughts:OpenSSL is one of the most human-security-audited pieces of open-source code ever, so discovering 3 new vulnerabilities sounds impressive. How much exactly: I’m curious about peoples opinionsObviously, vulnerability discovery is a somewhat symmetric capability, so this also gives us some estimate of the offense sideThis provides concrete evidence for the huge pool of bugs that are findable and exploitable even by current level AI – this is something everyone sane believed existed in my impressionOn the other hand, it does not neatly support the story where it’s easy for rogue AIs to hack anything. Automated systems can also fix the bugs, hopefully systems like this will be deployed, and it seems likely the defense side will start with large advantage of computeIt’s plausible that the “programs are proofs” limit is defense-dominated. On the other hand, actual programs are leaky abstractions of the physical world, and it’s less clear what the limit is in that case.Discuss ​Read More
