The future of AI security research isn’t autonomous, it’s human-amplified
Meet HTTP Terminator, a new AI system that has identified hundreds of websites vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, hacked them live at scale, and even identified a “genuinely new class” of vulnerability, dubbed “shared-parser confusion.
AI Summary
HTTP Terminator, an AI system, discovered hundreds of sites vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling and performed live hacks at scale. It also uncovered a new vulnerability class called “shared‑parser confusion.” The AI’s actions were continuously guided by a human operator, who directed its operations throughout the process. This human‑in‑the‑loop approach highlights that AI security research remains largely amplified by human oversight rather than fully autonomous.
