LLM agents have the ability to independently take advantage of one-day vulnerabilities.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have found that AI agents utilizing GPT-4, a powerful language learning model (LLM), can effectively exploit documented cybersecurity vulnerabilities. These types of AI agents are increasingly playing a role in cybercrime. In particular, the researchers studied the aptitude of such AI agents to exploit "one-day" vulnerabilities, which are identified…
