What happened
OpenAI reports GPT-6 Cyber found 81 previously unknown high-severity Firefox vulnerabilities, with Mozilla now releasing fixes, and produced working exploits for 948 Linux kernel vulnerabilities (588 unknown), with candidate patches going to maintainers. In a sample of 166 exploits, 10 techniques were described as novel and potentially enabling local root. Out-of-scope actions were 0.07% in the ExploitGym Honeypot evaluation versus 5.51% for GPT-5.6 Cyber. No CVE IDs are given; defenders should apply Mozilla fixes as released and track the OpenAI Patch the Planet dashboard, which reportedly shows under 25% remediation.

What to do
- Update Firefox to Mozilla's fixed releases as they become available.
- Apply Linux kernel patches once maintainers have reviewed and released them.
- Prioritise remediation of known vulnerabilities, as the OpenAI Patch the Planet dashboard reportedly shows under 25% remediation.
