Microsoft Unveils MDASH, Its AI Agent-Driven Security Platform — and It's Already Spotted a Host of New Windows Flaws

Microsoft says MDASH orchestrates more than 100 AI agents and uncovered 16 new Windows vulnerabilities, including four critical remote code execution flaws.

  • Microsoft unveiled MDASH, a security system using over 100 AI agents, which identified 16 Windows vulnerabilities including four Critical remote code execution flaws in the IKEv2 service and TCP/IP stack.
  • MDASH orchestrates a configurable panel of models where agents scan code and debate findings; Microsoft explained that "disagreement between models is itself a signal" for flagging suspect vulnerabilities.
  • On the CyberGym benchmark, MDASH outperformed other AI-based models, including Anthropic's Claude Mythos and OpenAI's GPT 5.5, by efficiently leveraging multiple models rather than relying on a single one.
  • "The strategic implication is clear: AI vulnerability discovery has crossed from research curiosity into production-grade defense," Kim said, noting a durable advantage in enterprise-scale deployment.
  • MDASH is currently in private preview with select enterprise customers; Microsoft is restricting access to prevent misuse, as the tool can approximate professional offensive researchers.
