Message   LWN.net    All   Vulnerability Research Is Cooked (sockpuppet.org)   April 1, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

There is a
blog post on sockpuppet.org arguing that we are not prepared for the
upcoming flood of high-quality, LLM-generated vulnerability reports and
exploits.

Now consider the poor open source developers who, for the last 18
	months, have complained about a torrent of slop vulnerability
	reports. I'd had mixed sympathies, but the complaints were at least
	empirically correct. That could change real fast. The new models
	find real stuff. Forget the slop; will projects be able to keep up
	with a steady feed of verified, reproducible, reliably-exploitable
	sev:hi vulnerabilities? That's what's coming down the pipe.

Everything is up in the air. The industry is sold on memory-safe
	software, but the shift is slow going. We've bought time with
	sandboxing and attack surface restriction. How well will these
	countermeasures hold up? A 4 layer system of sandboxes, kernels,
	hypervisors, and IPC schemes are, to an agent, an iterated version
	of the same problem. Agents will generate full-chain exploits, and
	they will do so soon.

Meanwhile, no defense looks flimsier now than closed source
	code. Reversing was already mostly a speed-bump even for
	entry-level teams, who lift binaries into IR or decompile them all
	the way back to source. Agents can do this too, but they can also
	reason directly from assembly. If you want a problem better suited
	to LLMs than bug hunting, program translation is a good place to
	start.
