A look at OpenAI's Project Daybreak, which lets vetted partners use its top hacking models to find and fix vulnerabilities and helped uncover PHP2Shell RCE bugs (Thomas Brewster/Forbes)
OpenAI's Project Daybreak allows vetted partners to utilize its advanced hacking models to identify and resolve vulnerabilities. This initiative has been instrumental in uncovering critical issues, such as PHP2Shell RCE bugs. The project leverages OpenAI's latest GPT model, enabling cyber researchers to enhance security by proactively finding and fixing potential exploits.
This report offers the first detailed look at Project Daybreak, unlike earlier mentions that only hinted at OpenAI's use of its models for cybersecurity.
