OpenAI's 'Patch the Planet' enlists Trail of Bits to auto-patch open-source

openai launched 'patch the planet', a daybreak initiative built with trail of bits, to automate the identification and remediation of vulnerabilities in critical open-source infrastructure. security engineers are equipping frontier models, specifically codex security and gpt‑5.5‑cyber, to conduct analysis, patch development, and testing for 19 initial projects including cURL, sigstore, and python. early findings report hundreds of security issues identified and dozens of patches merged, with trail of bits committing their entire security research organization to the initial surge. participating maintainers receive access to chatgpt pro, api credits, and custom ai-assisted workflows for fuzzing, triage, and deduplication to sustain long-term security improvements.
