The Internet Bug Bounty program has paused new submissions due to AI-driven vulnerability discovery outpacing human researchers' rewards.
Before its debut, Anthropic's frontier red team tested Opus 4.6 in a sandboxed environment to see how well it could find bugs in open-source code. The team gave the Claude model everything it needed to do the job - access to Python and vulnerability analysis tools, including classic debuggers and fuzzers - but no specific instructions or specialized knowledge. Claude found more than 500 previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source code using just its "out-of-the-box" capabilities,
