The fact that these vulnerabilities exist in the first place is concerning.
No. Every software of similar size as Firefox is full of bugs and vulnerabilities
There’s not a lot of software in that size class, deps included. Browsers are some of the most ludicrously complex, heavy, buggy and messy badly specified heaps of software in existence. Mostly because of the way the web is and was plus microslop.
And they are used to parse and even execute tons of hostile script and media.
The number of bugs remaining must be astounding as is the bugs that have been going and fixed.
Sorry ,but have you basic understanding about software? Vulnerabilities is part of the experience, especially for such complex ones.

I’ll take a more secure Firefox. If this is how it is achieved, so be it.
Yeah I’m actually kinda into this. Even if the AI vomits up a bunch of hallucinated vulnerabilities, there’s a team of (presumably) capable people there to figure that out. Seems like a pretty valid use for the technology.
Hallucinated? From researched and documented code spelunking?
That’s…exactly my point though…
What is?
That even though the team is using AI to check for vulnerabilities, they’re trained and know when their AI is hallucinating and when it’s not.
I guess I’m not sure how hallucinating and reading from source code are overlapping. Do you think these models are just barfing back garbage nonsense?
