An automated pipeline produced working root-access attacks for the Linux kernel at roughly $1,279 apiece, raising fresh questions for crypto security OpenAI says its AI found 948 security holes in the Linux kernel. It also says the AI built a working attack for every single one of them. The disclosure, made on November 4, 2026, lands squarely in crypto’s backyard.
