OpenAI has launched a program with cybersecurity firm Trail of Bits to use AI to find and fix vulnerabilities in widely used open-source software, as enterprises face growing risks from flaws buried deep in their software supply chains. The initiative, called Patch the Planet, uses AI-assisted vulnerability research alongside human review to help turn security findings into tested fixes that can be disclosed through existing project channels. Initial participants include Python, Go, cURL, Sigstore, NATS Server, aiohttp, freenginx, pyca/cryptography, and python.org. These projects support software development, networking, cryptography, and supply chain infrastructure used across a wide range of enterprise applications and services. OpenAI said each engagement will begin with consultation with maintainers to identify where security support is most needed. Researchers will then investigate potential vulnerabilities, validate meaningful issues, develop or refine patches, support testing, a
