GitHub Security Lab open-sources an autonomous fuzzing pipeline
The Taskflow agent writes harnesses, runs AFL++, triages crashes and drafts vulnerability reports end to end.
Check our sources · 4 facts from 1 sourceGitHub Security Lab published the Fuzzing Taskflow on September 24, 2026: an autonomous pipeline that generates fuzz harnesses, runs AFL++ fuzzing campaigns, analyses coverage, triages crashes and writes vulnerability reports with suggested fixes.
The pipeline uses Claude Sonnet 5 as its default model, and its source is published at github.com/GitHubSecurityLab/seclab-taskflows-fuzzing. GitHub warns it should run only inside a disposable environment without elevated privileges, because of the risk of arbitrary command execution.

Fact 1 of 4 · from GitHub, 24 Sep 2026
it identifies the suitable entrypoints, analyzes the build system, writes the harnesses, runs AFL++, reads the coverage reports, improves the harnesses ... every crash is minimized with afl-tmin, replayed under ASan to capture a stack trace, and deduplicated by a stack-top hash ... a suggested fix as a unified diff and a regression-test sketch (post dated September 24, 2026)
Fact 2 of 4 · from GitHub, 24 Sep 2026
we use Claude Sonnet 5 by default because it passed all of our internal tests without issues.
Fact 4 of 4 · from GitHub, 24 Sep 2026
A prompt-injected agent could, in principle, do anything your user can. So please run it only inside a disposable environment (e.g., a Codespace or a throwaway VM), without elevated privileges.
