Nov 4, 2024, 10:06 AM

Google's AI framework, Big Sleep, has successfully discovered a zero-day vulnerability in the widely used SQLite database engine. This achievement, reported on November 4 by The Hacker News, demonstrates the significant potential of automated vulnerability detection. Big Sleep, which evolved from Project Naptime, was specifically designed with tools to mimic the workflow of a human security researcher when examining computer code. The project combines the expertise of Google's Project Zero and DeepMind, integrating large language models (LLMs) into the fuzzing business with notable success.
