AI Model Claude Opus turns bugs into exploits for just $2,283

AI model Claude Opus, assisted by an operator, generated a functional Chrome V8 exploit for about $2,283, demonstrating that current large language models can be used to find and weaponize vulnerabilities. The article highlights the risk posed by Electron apps bundling outdated Chromium (creating patch gaps), notes the low cost relative to bug-bounty payouts, and urges improved dependency tracking, automatic updates, and reconsideration of how and when patches are published.
