AI Research Project Uncovers Over 129,000 Software Vulnerabilities

Anthropic has expanded program access for vetted security teams after its Project Glasswing uncovered over 129,000 verified software vulnerabilities in a matter of months. The findings highlight how quickly advanced artificial intelligence can identify hidden weaknesses across modern software platforms. For business owners, this rapid discovery rate means unpatched applications and systems face accelerated risks from automated discovery tools.
