You can find my analysis of this paper here. TLDR it appears as if GPT4 is using public exploits for most of these CVEs. But until they publish their code, data and results we cannot be sure. Regardless there is likely no emergent AI capability here. struct.github.io/auto_agents…
LLM Agents can Autonomously Exploit One-day Vulnerabilities GPT-4 can autonomously exploit 87% of real-world one-day vulnerabilities, identified in a dataset of critical severity CVEs, compared to 0% for all other tested models arxiv.org/abs/2404.08144

“Comparing Cedar to two open-source languages, OpenFGA and Rego, we find (subjectively) that Cedar has equally or more readable policies, but (objectively) performs far better.” 🔥🔥🔥
