Claude builds working FreeBSD exploits in 4 hours
Claude, working with researcher Nicholas Carlini, autonomously built two working exploits for CVE-2026-4747 in the FreeBSD kernel in four hours and achieved code execution with root privileges on vulnerable servers. It is one of the first public cases in which an AI does not merely help find a bug but takes it all the way to a complete attack tool.

The AI model Claude, working with researcher Nicholas Carlini, autonomously built two working exploits for FreeBSD in four hours and executed code with root privileges.
Can a neural network create exploits?
Yes. In the experiment, Claude independently created two working exploits for the vulnerability CVE-2026-4747 in FreeBSD in 4 hours and gained root access, analyzing the system's behavior and testing hypotheses.
