About VulnHunter

VulnHunter From pattern-matching to provability. VulnHunter is an open-source, agentic AI security tool that applies proactive, attacker-first analysis directly to source code. Unlike traditional, passive SAST scanners that flag suspicious patterns and often cause false positives, VulnHunter reasons like an adversary. It identifies which defects are actually exploitable, maps prospective attack paths, and proposes targeted, evidence-backed fixes. Modern software supply chains are deeply interconnected. A single vulnerability in a widely-used open-source component can ripple across thousands of enterprises simultaneously. Developed internally at Capital One, VulnHunter is released to the community because no single organization can solve this challenge alone. [!WARNING] Cyber-safeguard disclaimer VulnHunter performs dual-use cybersecurity work (vulnerability discovery and exploitation). If you run it against an Anthropic account that is not enrolled in Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program, real-time cyber safeguards may block requests and your usage may be flagged for cyber abuse.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
