GPT-6 Cyber Found 948 Unique Root Exploits in the Linux Kernel

OpenAI's GPT-6 Cyber model, powered by a swarm of AI agents, discovered nearly a thousand unique privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. This episode of The Code Report breaks down how the agent pipeline works, what it costs, and what it means for the future of software security.

■ AI Agent Pipeline for Kernel Exploiting
- Local privilege escalation (LPE) explained in simple terms
- The four-stage agent swarm: scout, analyst, triage, and exploit agents
- Cost analysis and potential bounty value of the discovered exploits

■ Implications for Software Security
- Comparison with earlier model runs and the pace of improvement
- The arms race between AI-driven attackers and defenders
- Practical advice for keeping Linux systems secure

■ Sponsor: Greptile
- AI code review tool with sandbox-based execution testing
- Integration with coding agents via MCP

Designed for software developers and security enthusiasts, this video offers a clear picture of how AI is transforming vulnerability research and what actions developers can take to protect their code before shipping.
