Vulnerability Research Is Cooked (7 minute read)
Frontier coding agents have already collapsed the economics of exploit development. The consequence is that elite attention is no longer scarce: attackers will stop carefully picking Chrome-tier targets and instead aim agents at everything, with databases, routers, printers, hospital systems, and regional bank infrastructure, where patching requires someone physically showing up, sitting squarely in the blast radius. Defenders should assume full-chain exploits against layered sandboxes are imminent, accelerate memory-safe migrations and attack surface reduction, stand up agent loops against their own codebases before adversaries do, and start advocating now for vulnerability research rights before lawmakers react to the first AI-driven ransomware news cycle with bad policy.
