•Anthropic's Claude Code AI successfully discovered multiple remotely exploitable security vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel.
•One critical bug in the Network File System (NFS) driver remained hidden for an astonishing 23 years, demonstrating the AI's deep understanding.
•The discovery was made with surprisingly little human oversight, using a simple script to 'point' Claude at kernel source files and ask it to find vulnerabilities as if in a CTF.
•This breakthrough highlights the immense potential of large language models (LLMs) in automating complex vulnerability research and enhancing software security.
