The rapid adoption of AI agents is fundamentally changing web security paradigms, creating new vulnerabilities that malicious actors are actively exploiting. AI agents from major providers like OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini) now require elevated permissions to perform transactional operations, breaking the traditional cybersecurity assumption that “good bots only read, never write.” This shift has opened the door to sophisticated spoofing attacks that can bypass traditional bot detection systems.

Underground advertising reveals the tools threat actors use — and how defenders can respond.

On October 29, 2025, OpenAI unveiled Aardvark, a groundbreaking autonomous AI security agent that promises to fundamentally transform how organizations approach software vulnerability management. Built on the advanced GPT-5 model, Aardvark represents a paradigm shift from reactive security patching to continuous, proactive threat mitigation- all without disrupting development workflows.
