We Pointed an Autonomous AI Pentester at a Deliberately Broken API. It Came Back With a Root Shell
AigentX, our autonomous web-application penetration testing agent, ran black-box against OWASP crAPI and confirmed 35 exploitable findings, 15 of them Critical, including a chain that turns a free signup account into uid=0(root) and a permanently forged admin identity. Every finding below carries a request, a response, and a reproduction. The full report is one click away. Most “AI found N vulnerabilities” write-ups never let you check the work. This one does.
