AIs Compress Exploit Timeline

AI agents can discover exploits based on mere rumors, allowing them to find vulnerabilities quickly. Knowing roughly what an exploit is about is enough for an AI agent to locate it, potentially before a public patch is available. This rapid discovery rate is made possible by providing an AI agent with limited information about a security issue. The speed at which AI agents can find exploits may require changes to how security responses are handled in open source environments. Existing open source embargo practices may not be compatible with this accelerated rate of discovery.
