OpenAI has launched Aardvark, an autonomous “agentic security researcher” powered by GPT-5.

It scans codebases for vulnerabilities, validates exploitability in sandboxed environments, and auto-generates potential patches.

Early reports show 10+ CVEs identified in open-source projects.

What’s your view - is AI-driven vulnerability research the future of cybersecurity or another layer of risk?
