Researcher Uses Claude Opus to Build a Working Chrome Exploit Chain

Security researcher "rez0" successfully utilized Anthropic's Claude Opus large language model (LLM) to assist in developing a complete exploit chain for Google Chrome.
The LLM's assistance encompassed identifying a legitimate bug within the browser, generating relevant exploit code, and strategizing to bypass critical exploit mitigations such as ASLR and DEP.
This research highlights the accelerating potential of advanced AI models to significantly streamline and enhance the process of discovering and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities, including those in web browsers.
