One job where AI stepping up isn't such a problem - AI-assisted cybersecurity team discovers mass of OpenSSL vulnerabilities, praised for 'high quality of the reports and their constructive collaboration'

• AISLE AI toolset exposed OpenSSL vulnerabilities stretching back to the earliest HTTPS era
• Even heavily audited security code can hide serious flaws for decades
• Crashes and memory corruption remain common failure modes in cryptographic software

OpenSSL is one of the most widely deployed cryptographic libraries around today, and forms the basis of HTTPS and encrypted communications across the Internet.

Despite decades of review, testing, and community scrutiny, a coordinated January 2026 release addressed twelve previously undisclosed vulnerabilities.

These issues ranged from high and moderate severity flaws to a larger set of lower severity problems involving crashes, memory handling errors, and encryption weaknesses.
