Two years? That exists right now. You only have to point Codex Security at an open source repo. There are a lot of tools and companies that are spinning up today that do autonomous pentesting.

I'm not even sure a specialized model is needed here. It probably just needs the right harness around existing ones.

I expect the next two years to be absolutely brutal for hacks. Attackers have supercharged tools in their hands right now. Defenders are only getting started and will have to plow through a massive backlog of newly uncovered vulns.

The major short term downside is that open source or personal projects won't be able to afford things like Codex Security.

Realistically, all open-source projects should be forced to have automated scans of this nature before their releases can be shipped. This is something the package managers and github need to figure out. It'd stop the supply chain attacks too.
