A security researcher, Ian Carroll, discovered a significant vulnerability in Front Gate Tickets, a major US music festival ticketing platform, with the assistance of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 AI model. Carroll used the AI to identify a technique that granted him super-administrator access, allowing him to issue unlimited free tickets and potentially access millions of customer records. While Carroll reported the flaw and Front Gate claims it has been patched with no evidence of exploitation, the incident highlights the growing capability of AI tools in uncovering complex software vulnerabilities.
