Artificial intelligence platforms may be just as susceptible to social engineering as human beings, but they are proving remarkably good at finding security vulnerabilities in human-made computer code. That reality is on full display this month with some of the more widely-used software makers -- including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and Oracle -- fixing near record volumes of security bugs, and/or quickening the tempo of their patch releases.

Last week, Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, an AI model so effective at discovering software vulnerabilities that they took the extraordinary step of postponing its public release. Instead, the company has given access to Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and a coalition of others to find and patch bugs before adversaries can

Microsoft Corp. today issued security updates to fix more than 80 vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and software. There are no known "zero-day" or actively exploited vulnerabilities in this month's bundle from Redmond, which nevertheless includes patches for 13 flaws that earned Microsoft's most-dire "critical" label. Meanwhile, both Apple and Google recently released updates to fix zero-day bugs in their devices.

Microsoft today issued software updates to fix at least five dozen security holes in Windows and supported software, including patches for two zero-day vulnerabilities that are already being exploited. Also, Adobe, Google Chrome and Apple iOS users may have their own zero-day patching to do.

As many as 55 zero-day vulnerabilities were exploited in the wild in 2022, with most of the flaws discovered in software from Microsoft, Google, and Apple

Hackers continue to target zero-day vulnerabilities in malicious campaigns, with researchers reporting that 55 zero-days were actively exploited in 2022, most targeting Microsoft, Google, and Apple products. [...]

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added seven vulnerabilities to its list of bugs actively exploited by hackers, with the new flaws disclosed by Apple. Microsoft, SAP, and Google. [...]
