On October 14, 2026, AISLE announced that its AI-powered security platform discovered 18 of the 24 CVEs addressed in cURL's latest release, marking a significant contribution to the project's security. This collaboration began in late 2025, leading to the identification of 35 CVEs and 160 additional bugs in cURL, a widely used software component running on over 30 billion devices. Among the discoveries was a critical authentication vulnerability dating back 25 years. cURL's founder, Daniel Stenberg, credited AISLE for enhancing the speed and accuracy of vulnerability identification, especially after discontinuing its bug bounty program due to an influx of low-quality reports. The findings highlight AISLE's capability to provide credible security insights, contrasting with concerns over AI-generated noise in vulnerability reporting. The latest update underscores the importance of AI in uncovering long-standing security issues in mature codebases.
