AI That Hunts Logic Bugs Before Attackers Do - Taylor Luttrell-Williams, Sonar
Pattern-based SAST catches bad code, but not valid code with flawed intent: broken access control, business logic gaps and authentication holes.
Taylor Luttrell-Williams of Sonar introduces the SonarQube Hunter Agent, which maps a repo, runs three specialist agents and adversarially validates every finding, and announces Sonar joining the OpenAI Daybreak cyber partner program. The live demo turns up 46 issues in a Python app, including a user who can make themselves admin and an MFA bypass.
