OSS-Fuzz reports vulnerabilities from AI-generated targets

Google's open-source security team reports 26 vulnerabilities found with AI-generated or enhanced fuzz targets, including an OpenSSL flaw. The result concerns improvements to vulnerability discovery, not evidence that every finding was autonomously patched.

What to do

Review the published workflow and oss-fuzz-gen framework when evaluating AI-assisted fuzzing. Retain human validation of generated targets, crash interpretation, and proposed fixes rather than assuming end-to-end autonomous remediation.
