OpenAI's Astra First AI to Independently Exploit Zero-Days, Crosses Critical Threshold

OpenAI's Astra has become the first AI model to independently find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities across multiple well-defended systems, crossing a critical cybersecurity threshold. This marks a significant escalation in AI-driven offensive cyber capability, raising concerns about dual-use risks and the potential for autonomous cyberattacks. The claim is based on a single source and lacks independent verification, so the exact scope and implications remain uncertain.
