ANTHROPIC’S MYTHOS HELPED RESEARCHERS FIND MACOS BUGS
WSJ reports Calif researchers used techniques from Anthropic’s Mythos AI testing to find two macOS bugs.
The bugs were linked into a privilege escalation exploit.
Apple is reviewing a 55-page report and details are expected after patches.
Calif says Claude helped build the exploit code in five days, but human researchers were still needed to make the chain work.
Mozilla’s recent Mythos results were also notable:
271 Firefox bugs identified for Firefox 150
180 rated high severity
80 moderate
11 low
423 total Firefox security bugs fixed in April
