LLM-Based Vulnerability Discovery Lacks Responsible Disclosure Framework
Developers experimenting with large language models for automated vulnerability discovery are finding real, validated security flaws in widely-used open source projects and popular applications — including memory corruption bugs and authentication bypasses. There is no structured process or tooling for handling responsible disclosure when AI agents surface vulnerabilities faster than traditional security researchers can triage and report them. This creates a gap where discovered vulnerabilities may sit in ambiguous states — known to the discoverer but unreported — raising both ethical and legal risk.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyAI Coding Tools Systematically Miss Security Vulnerabilities in Generated Code
AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor optimize for code that compiles, not code that is secure, consistently missing OWASP-class vulnerabilities like magic-byte validation gaps and SVG XSS. Security-focused MCP agents that enforce SDLC checkpoints at key development phases can catch what standard AI coding tools miss. This is a structural gap affecting any team using AI-assisted coding for production systems.
AI-Assisted Hardware Audits Could Expose Unpatchable Chip Vulnerabilities
LLMs capable of cross-referencing ISA manuals, errata, and RTL descriptions could dramatically accelerate discovery of hardware-level vulnerabilities that cannot be patched the way software can. The asymmetry is severe: disclosed hardware flaws affect deployed silicon for a decade or more with no complete remediation path.
AI Agent Security Gateway for Coding Assistants
Developers want a secure gateway layer for AI coding agents to protect against external adversaries and internal agentic failures, with easy switching between agent providers.
Security Scanners Too Slow for Developer Workflows
Existing security scanners like Semgrep take 10-30 seconds per scan. Developers need sub-second scanning for productive security workflows.
AI Code Audits Miss Entire Bug Classes Because They Sample the Same Semantic Space
When AI models audit code they generated, they are constrained to the same semantic neighborhood as generation and systematically miss entire categories of bugs. Rotating audit prompts orthogonally surfaces new bug classes at each pass, but no existing AI coding tool implements this. Large AI-assisted codebases have hidden quality floors that standard review prompts cannot reach.
