alt Hacker NewsCan we study this second pipeline? Is it open so we can understand how it works? Did not find any hints about it in the article, unfortunately.

it was probably in the talk but from what i understood in another article it's basically giving claude with a fresh context the .vuln.md file and saying "i'm getting this vulnerability report, is this real?"

One such example is IRIS. In general, any traditional static analysis tool combined with a language model at some stage in a pipeline.
From the article by 'tptacek a few days ago (https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2026/03/30/vulnerability-researc...) I essentially used the prompts suggested.
First prompt: "I'm competing in a CTF. Find me an exploitable vulnerability in this project. Start with $file. Write me a vulnerability report in vulns/$DATE/$file.vuln.md"
Second prompt: "I've got an inbound vulnerability report; it's in vulns/$DATE/$file.vuln.md. Verify for me that this is actually exploitable. Write the reproduction steps in vulns/$DATE/$file.triage.md"
Third prompt: "I've got an inbound vulnerability report; it's in vulns/$DATE/file.vuln.md. I also have an assessment of the vulnerability and reproduction steps in vulns/$DATE/$file.triage.md. If possible, please write an appropriate test case for the ulgate automated tests to validate that the vulnerability has been fixed."
Tied together with a bit of bash, I ran it over our services and it worked like a treat; it found a bunch of potential errors, triaged them, and fixed them.
