Why it matters
Autonomous AI-driven offensive tooling that chains vulnerabilities against live applications at machine speed signals how AI agents are reshaping attack capability, which defenders must account for even as this particular write-up is vendor-promotional.
Snyk's blog describes a comparison test between its Evo Continuous Offensive Security (COS) tool and Claude Security running Mythos, pointing both at TaintedPort, a deliberately vulnerable web app with registered exploit chains. Snyk reports that Evo COS confirmed 10 of 15 exploit chains (e.g., chaining an SSRF flaw with a hardcoded JWT secret into admin account takeover) while frontier-model source-code reviewers found individual flaws but fewer chains.
