As fears about<\/span> AI hacking capabilities grow, OpenAI on Monday made a slew of cybersecurity-focused announcements, including an improved version of its limited-access security-specialized model GPT-5.5-Cyber, expanded international work with governments and other institutions to give them \u201ctrusted access\u201d to the company’s latest cybersecurity-focused models, and releasing its Codex Security scanner as an app plug-in.<\/p>\n

As advances across the AI industry leave critical open-source projects at increasing risk of falling behind, though, the company also said on Monday that it is launching an effort known as Patch the Planet, founded with the prominent research-focused security firm Trail of Bits and in collaboration with vulnerability management firms HackerOne and Calif.<\/p>\n

The project has already begun its work offering free security consulting services to open source maintainers to not only help them find and patch vulnerabilities, but also support them in strengthening their code bases and incorporating AI security tools into their development process. The idea is to give individualized support to as many open-source projects as possible to improve both their current security and long-term resilience in a way that will actually be sustainable.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatch the Planet is an internet-scale effort to help open-source software get ahead of AI bug-hunting tools,\u201d says Trail of Bits CEO and cofounder Dan Guido. \u201cBut it’s also an effort to help the open-source community see the benefits and not just the downsides of AI coding tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Open-source developers\u2014typically volunteers keeping critical and widely used software afloat with few resources\u2014are often already struggling to keep up with bug reports. The rise of AI vulnerability hunting in recent months has, for many maintainers, made that backlog feel insurmountable as AI-generated slop reports stack up, making it difficult to prioritize and pulling already limited time and attention away from critical flaws.<\/p>\n\n
