Intruder demonstrated an LLM-based system that automatically discovers previously unknown vulnerabilities by combining code analysis with large language models. The system identified and exploited a WordPress plugin zero-day, illustrating the capability of AI to autonomously find and potentially weaponize software flaws at scale.
What to do
Organizations should implement defense-in-depth code inspection and rapid patch cycles to reduce exposure windows for AI-discovered vulnerabilities.
