OpenAI: Yoo-Hoo, Look over Here, We Do that Security Stuff Too!
The program gives more than 30 projects AI tools and security engineers, and Trail of Bits says it found hundreds of bugs in the first week.
- On Monday, OpenAI launched Patch the Planet, an initiative partnering with Trail and Bits to help open-source maintainers identify and patch critical software vulnerabilities.
- Open-Source maintainers struggle with overwhelming backlogs of AI-generated reports that distract from critical flaws, according to OpenAI's cyber tech lead Fouad Matin.
- During its first week, the project generated 64 pull requests and filed 51 issues across 19 projects, with Trail and Bits engineers providing manual triage and patching support.
- OpenAI also released a Codex Security plugin enabling out-of-the-box defensive workflows, allowing developers to triage findings and automate patch generation at scale.
- The company plans to add more organizations to the program in coming months, while its updated GPT 5.5 Cyber model outperformed prior versions in vulnerability detection benchmarks.
