This investment came from the well-known investment firm Hillhouse Capital, bringing ZAST.AI&#8217;s total funding close to $10 million. This marks a recognition from leading capital markets of a new solution: ending the era of high false positive rates in security tools and making every alert genuinely actionable.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, ZAST.AI discovered hundreds of zero-day vulnerabilities across dozens of popular open-source projects. These findings were submitted through authoritative vulnerability platforms like VulDB, successfully resulting in 119 CVE assignments. These are not laboratory targets, but production-grade code supporting global businesses. Affected well-known projects include widely used components and frameworks such as Microsoft Azure SDK, Apache Struts XWork, Alibaba Nacos, Langfuse, Koa, node-formidable, and others.<\/p>\n<p>It was precisely within these widely adopted open-source projects that ZAST.AI discovered hundreds of real, exploitable vulnerabilities accompanied by executable Proof-of-Concept (PoC) evidence. Maintainers of these projects from top technology companies like Microsoft, Apache, and Alibaba have already patched their code based on the PoCs submitted by ZAST.AI.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the traditional field of code security analysis, high false positive rates have long been a core pain point plaguing enterprise security teams. Security engineers often spend significant time manually verifying alerts generated by tools, resulting in extremely low efficiency,&#8221; said Geng Yang, Co-founder of ZAST.AI. &#8220;&#8216;Report is cheap, show me the POC!&#8217; This was the original intention behind founding ZAST.AI \u2014 we believe only verified vulnerabilities are worth reporting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ZAST.AI&#8217;s core innovation lies in its &#8220;Automated POC Generation + Automated Validation&#8221; technical architecture.
