GPT-5.5-Cyber built a zlib fuzzing lab in a day

Why it matters

Trail of Bits describes supervising GPT-5.5-Cyber as it built ASan and UBSan variants, derived seed corpora, and wrote fuzz harnesses for roughly a dozen zlib entry points in one day. The useful result is the workflow and its emphasis on reachability and reportability; vulnerability details remain under coordinated disclosure and the speed comparison is the authors' estimate.

My takeaway: For AI-assisted fuzzing, define the vulnerability class and reportability criteria up front, require sanitizer-backed reproduction, test compile-time variants and realistic state transitions, and keep a human maintainer in the disclosure loop. Measure confirmed, reachable findings—not crashes or model-generated severity labels.

OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications for 2026

OWASP's community guide organizes agentic-system risk into ten categories, including goal hijacking, tool misuse, identity and privilege abuse, memory poisoning, insecure inter-agent communication, cascading failures, and rogue-agent behavior. It provides a shared taxonomy and mitigation starting point rather than a certification checklist or evidence that a deployed system is secure.

FinBot CTF Is Live: A Hands-On Companion to the OWASP GenAI Security Project

OWASP FinBot is a hands-on agentic-security CTF built around a simulated multi-agent financial-services platform with real tool access. Its challenges cover prompt injection, tool misuse, policy bypass, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, remote code execution, shared context, and compromised MCP servers.

Now in preview: Find and fix software vulnerabilities with CodeMender

Google opened a preview of CodeMender, an AI code-security agent delivered through Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and AI Threat Defense. It is designed to inspect code, identify and validate potentially exploitable defects, and produce targeted fixes, with Google’s specialized Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber model initially restricted to governments and trusted partners.
