Security Weekly - A CRA Resource: AI Can Find Authentication Bypasses

Paul Assadorian built an AI harness designed to find authentication-bypass vulnerabilities. He used OWASP guidance and detailed write-ups of past vulnerabilities in specific IoT devices to help build its testing capabilities.



The harness isn't guaranteed to work every time, but it offers developers another way to identify security flaws before releasing code. Catching an authentication bypass during development could prevent devices from shipping with weaknesses that attackers might exploit. Smokes Cigars argues that these testing methods should be shared rather than hoarded.



AI-assisted security testing is becoming a practical option for developers, but its results still need to be evaluated carefully.



How much should developers rely on AI to catch vulnerabilities before shipping?
