According to Schneier on Security, a recent comment noted that 3 percent of all ‘critical’ software security bugs recorded in history have been identified in the last month. The author expressed concern about the pace of discovery, estimating roughly 100,000 additional bugs could be found this year, which would increase the total number of known vulnerabilities by approximately 26 percent.
The comment reflects a perceived shift in the landscape of software security, describing it as “a new world out there.” No further technical details about the methods used for detection, the types of systems involved, or specific AI components were provided. The statement was made in response to ongoing observations rather than part of an official report.
