So @Doyensec recently published a report comparing @Xbow and @AikidoSecurity, two AI pentest platforms.
I figured, why not run @HacktronAI on the same test? So I ran a pentest on one of the target. Hacktron cost $350, while XBOW and Aikido cost $4,000 each. We did pretty well!
The outcome: a faster, more cost-effective security assessment that does not compromise on quality. This is not just checkbox compliance. Hacktron Whitebox helps teams generate evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 27001, while giving engineers valuable, actionable findings they can fix.
Introducing Hacktron Whitebox: get white-box security assessments with audit-ready reports without waiting on a traditional pentest cycle.
AI has roughly tripled the rate of code shipped in the past year. But penetration testing has not kept pace, often taking weeks to months.
Nice overview of the vulnerability discovery landscape! Very proud of the work we've done at @HacktronAI, as well as that of our peers at Anthropic and AISLE.
AI has sped up vulnerability discovery, but coverage and signal remain to be important metrics we optimize for.
Agents are finding more vulnerabilities than ever. But it turns out there are gaps in existing vulnerability discovery. Over the past 90 days vs. a year ago, web vulnerabilities (XSS/SQLi/CSRF) are down 66% and memory safety exploitability is down 3.5x.

When Your VPN Opens Your Private Network to the Public!
An auth bypass in Palo Alto PAN-OS CAS Auth (CVE-2026-0265) that lets an attacker connect to the company's GlobalProtect VPN.

This is a critical auth bypass (affecting GlobalProtect VPN), not sure why this was marked as high. I have already managed to get VPN access to major corps!
Unlike the buffer overflow this isn't limited to PAN OS.
Will be disclosing full details later next week on @HacktronAI
Last week's Next.js stable release patches multiple vulnerabilities found by @HacktronAI
CVE-2026-44578: SSRF via WebSocket upgrade.
It is the most impactful of all, it lets an attacker read internal hosts such as cloud metadata endpoints on self-hosted next.js applications.
I've seen enough fundraising announcement videos. This isn’t one of them.
At @HacktronAI, we do security, and we do it well. That’s what matters to us. We solve real problems for our customers. On average, they uncover real vulnerabilities missed by other tools within 24 hours of onboarding.
Just this year, we've already responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities in Vercel's Next.js, Grafana, Jetbrain's YouTrack, OpenAM, Metabase, and BeyondTrust's Remote Support Software.
No unearned, bullshit hype. Just security that works.
Hacktron ❤️ Open Source
TL;DR: If you maintain an open source project, we want to give you Hacktron Review for free.
Because giving maintainers the same capabilities as attackers would otherwise use against them felt like the right thing to do.

Next.js v16.2.5 fixes a bunch of vulnerabilities reported by @HacktronAI.
Patch ASAP, especially if you’re running self-hosted Next.js that SSRF might affect you
CVE-2026-44574: Middleware / Proxy bypass via dynamic route parameter injection
CVE-2026-44578: SSRF in applications using WebSocket upgrades
CVE-2026-44581: XSS in App Router applications using CSP nonces
when react2shell hit last year, i think vercel handled it brilliantly.
to protect their users, they paid $50,000 for every bypass researchers could find. we decided to participate, and ended up earning $170,000.
read how we did it here: hacktron.ai/blog/react2she…
TL;DR: If a large model finds a 0day with 90% probability, and a small model with 50% probability, but the small model costs 10x less, it is better to use the small model.
Mythos showed that frontier models can find complex vulnerabilities with a skilled operator in the loop.
But for applications that don't have the complexity of a JIT compiler, we found that smaller models run repeatedly can outperform larger frontier models on cost-to-recall.
