Epoch AI: AI Increases Reports of Critical Vulnerabilities by 3.5 Times

Reports of security vulnerabilities have surged since AI models began searching for bugs. Epoch AI has recorded a massive increase in reported security vulnerabilities. In June 2026, 21 organizations reported approximately 1,500 high-severity and critical vulnerabilities (CVEs), more than 3.5 times the previous monthly record.

The rise in reports of high-severity and critical vulnerabilities (CVEs) began in April 2026, coinciding with the launch of the Claude Mythos beta version from Anthropic. According to Anthropic, trusted partners were already using the model to detect and fix bugs prior to its release. Anthropic's "Glasswing" program has reportedly discovered over 10,000 high-severity or critical vulnerabilities so far, some of which have yet to be disclosed. OpenAI's "Daybreak" program is also contributing to this increase. Epoch AI claims that the rise in reported vulnerabilities reflects a wave of discoveries driven by AI.
