Nice to see Microsoft boosting open source operating system practices. (May be a little anti monopoly politicking, ahem.)

Makes me trust open source operating systems more!

It’s not an article about vulnerable boot loaders. It’s an ad for their AI offering. That they turned their AI loose on some boot loaders is not material to the intended affect of the ad.

    I think that finding and fixing this many vulns is a worthwhile achievement, no matter how they did it. But it does detract from the quality of the article that they are pushing CoPilot so heavily.

    agree it's an ad

    but if they sent the AI through all that ancient code and that's all they found it's not a good advertisement

      This whole thing is weird: submitting account registered 3 days ago, no other activity than this link added on coincidentally, MS anniversary.

    Did you read the OP link ? They go in far more details than just presenting what they did with AI, and they actually found several exploitable vulnerabilities, not just with AI, but with other techniques such as code analyzing or fuzzing.

    AI is in he title, but the content is not entirely revolving around it.
