AI system Chai discovers over 100 crypto vulnerabilities, including critical flaw

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Chai, an AI system designed to identify cryptographic misuse vulnerabilities. Unlike previous methods that focus on single codebases, Chai catalogs flaws at the library level and propagates them across dependency graphs for greater efficiency. The system was evaluated on X.509, JWT, and SAML libraries, uncovering over 100 vulnerabilities, including a critical flaw in an SSL library used by billions of devices and bugs in major Linux distributions. AI

IMPACT This AI system demonstrates a novel approach to security vulnerability discovery, potentially improving the safety of widely used cryptographic libraries.
