Apple Alerted to macOS Security Vulnerability Uncovered With AI Tool

Researchers at security firm Calif used Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview to combine two macOS bugs into a privilege-escalation exploit.

Apple says it is reviewing the report, and its latest macOS security notes mention a related kernel fix with credit to Calif and Anthropic.

The case shows AI models can help researchers uncover real software flaws faster, potentially accelerating vulnerability discovery and patching.

The issue is part of a broader trend of AI-assisted security research, including Project Glasswing and kernel-level bug hunting.
