Called Aardvark , the artificial intelligence (AI) company said the autonomous agent is designed to help developers and security teams flag and fix security vulnerabilities at scale. It's currently available in private beta.

"Aardvark continuously analyzes source code repositories to identify vulnerabilities, assess exploitability, prioritize severity, and propose targeted patches," OpenAI noted .

It works by embedding itself into the software development pipeline, monitoring commits and changes to codebases, detecting security issues and how they might be exploite
