AI Turns Patches Into Exploits in Hours

AI just shattered software security timelines: Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview turned patched code into working exploits in under an hour—automating what once took elite hackers days. Testing on Firefox and Windows, it exploited “patch gaps” where fixes haven’t yet rolled out, generating crashes and full code execution without needing source code. Even Microsoft’s “unlikely” bugs were cracked. The takeaway? Speed up patches, use safer languages, and build defenses like Control Flow Guard—because AI isn’t just helping hackers, it’s outpacing them.
