OpenAI AI Agents Discover More Than 2,000 Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities AI agents based on the yet-to-be-released OpenAI cyber model found vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, checked whether they could be exploited in an attack, and suggested fixes. During a test in October of this year, the system identified 2,308 potential vulnerabilities. Of these, the researchers were able to recover 1,724, and for 948 the system created work feats. With their help, a user with limited access can get root administrator rights. That means full control over the operating system, including the ability to change settings, files and accounts.
