Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Anthropic's Mythos Preview system can develop working exploits from newly disclosed N-day vulnerabilities in hours, dramatically reducing the typical days-to-weeks timeline. The research highlights that N-day vulnerabilities (already disclosed and patched but present on unpatched systems) may be more dangerous than zero-days because patches provide a roadmap to the bug. Mythos Preview successfully developed working Firefox exploits and Windows privilege-escalation chains from N-day vulnerabilities.
