Claude Opus 4.6 discovered 22 Firefox vulnerabilities in two weeks, including 14 high-severity bugs, as nearly 20% of all critical Firefox vulnerabilities were fixed in 2025. The AI also wrote working exploits for two bugs, demonstrating emerging capabilities that give defenders a temporary advantage but signal an accelerating arms race in cybersecurity.
