Security startup Depthfirst's autonomous AI agent found 21 previously unknown vulnerabilities in FFmpeg, the open-source media library used in almost everything
Depthfirst, a security startup, has deployed an AI agent that discovered 21 zero-day vulnerabilities in FFmpeg, a widely used open-source media library. These vulnerabilities, some of which had been present for over two decades, include heap and stack overflows. The AI's findings, which cost approximately $1,000 in compute, have led to patches being rolled out for the affected software. AI
