OpenAI developed an AI pipeline that identified and validated 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Linux, costing $1.2 million in API fees. The system analyzed 2,308 candidate findings, reproducing 1,724 vulnerabilities to generate these exploits.

OpenAI on Wednesday detailed a pipeline that employed an upcoming cyber-focused artificial intelligence (AI) model to validate and patch 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Linux for $1.2 million in API costs.

"Our prototype identified and analyzed 2,308 candidate Linux kernel findings, dynamically reproduced 1,724 vulnerabilities, and produced 948 local privilege escalation (LPE)
