Frontier AI Application Security: Every Second Counts
Somewhere in the last few months, the math of application security quietly broke. Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview didn’t just analyze code, it found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD, a 16-year-old bug in FFmpeg, and a 17-year-old remote code execution flaw in FreeBSD, entirely on its own. Then it went further: it built working exploits for them. No human guidance. No months of manual research. And by Anthropic’s own account, this is only a preview of what’s coming.
