Such incidents may become more common, however, as AI models\u2019 reasoning capabilities are advancing to the point where they can discover high-level logic flaws rather than just basic memory corruption and improper input sanitization bugs.<\/p>\n<p>This was the case with the discovered Python 2FA bypass exploit, which required credentials to exploit but stemmed from the tool\u2019s developers hardcoding an ineffective trust assumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough frontier LLMs struggle to navigate complex enterprise authorization logic, they have an increasing ability to perform contextual reasoning, effectively reading the developer\u2019s intent to correlate the 2FA enforcement logic with the contradictions of its hardcoded exceptions,\u201d the GTIG researchers concluded. \u201cThis capability can allow models to surface dormant logic errors that appear functionally correct to traditional scanners but are strategically broken from a security perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4169046\/google-discovers-weaponized-zero-day-exploits-created-with-ai.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google discovers weaponized zero-day exploits created with AI https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4169046\/google-discovers-weaponized-zero-day-exploits-created-with-ai.html Publish Date: 2026-05-11 09:03:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":247566,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4169046-0-46152200-1778504560-shutterstock_2649850199.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,31,27],"class_list":["post-247565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-exploit","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247565"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":247567,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247565\/revisions\/247567"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
