OpenAI says its autonomous vulnerability-discovery pipeline analyzed the Linux kernel in mid-October 2026 and validated 1,724 flaws from 2,308 reported candidates. The system produced 948 unique privilege-escalation attacks that grant root access, along with 291 proofs-of-concept for information-disclosure vulnerabilities. The total operating cost was $1,213,430, or approximately $1,279 per exploit, and 61 vulnerabilities have already received upstream patches. The findings highlight that cryptocurrency decentralization does not protect individual systems running Linux, including nodes, validators, and key-custody infrastructure.
