GitHub AI Uncovers 24 Android Flaws
A GitHub AI agent discovers 24 security vulnerabilities in Android apps.
#GitHub#Security#Android#AI Agent#Vulnerability

🔥 What happened
GitHub's Security Lab used its open-source Taskflow Agent to surface 24 Android vulnerabilities — including a tracking-data leak in OsmAnd and an account takeover in Wikipedia's Android app. A single scan runs one to two hours.
💡 Why it matters
The agent requires a GitHub Copilot subscription and burns serious tokens — one prompt triggers multiple tool calls. Still, 24 findings in one pass is a shot across the bow of traditional bug-bounty programs.
⚡ Our take
AI as a security intern with infinite stamina — but its risk scoring is garbage. Without a human filter, it just generates bug spam.
