Microsoft MDASH: AI Finds 16 Windows Vulnerabilities

Microsoft has announced MDASH, an AI security system that discovered 16 new vulnerabilities in Windows. This includes four critical remote code execution flaws, which were patched in this week's Patch Tuesday. MDASH stands for Multi-moDel Agentic Scanning Harness. It uses over 100 specialized AI agents and multiple AI models to find and prove exploitable bugs. The system operates in five stages: Prepare, Scan, Validate, Dedup, and Prove. It even uses a "debate architecture" where different AI models challenge each other's findings. Microsoft says this AI discovery has moved from research to a production-grade defense. This shows how AI is becoming a key tool in finding security vulnerabilities faster than humans or attackers.
