OpenAI's Aardvark is now in private beta, offering an agentic security researcher that can scan codebases, identify vulnerabilities, and propose patches. The service already has evidence of value because it has uncovered new CVEs in open-source projects. That makes the launch relevant to teams looking for automated support in vulnerability discovery and remediation.
