{"data":{"id":"44b54de5-b40b-42a6-ba97-e0c2efcfa3ce","title":"Google Launches Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber AI to Find and Fix Software Vulnerabilities","summary":"Google DeepMind released Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, a specialized AI model designed to find and fix software vulnerabilities (weaknesses in code that attackers could exploit) quickly and efficiently. The model is currently available only to governments and trusted partners through CodeMender (an AI agent for vulnerability discovery and patching) as part of a limited-access pilot program, with plans to expand access over time. In testing, 3.5 Flash Cyber found more vulnerabilities than competing AI models, including discovering a remote code execution vulnerability (a flaw that lets attackers run commands on a system) that bypassed common security protections.","solution":"According to the source, Google has implemented the following approach: '3.5 Flash Cyber will be exclusively available to governments and trusted partners via CodeMender, expanding over time' as a limited-access pilot program. Additionally, 'Since 3.5 Flash Cyber runs solely inside CodeMender, it's easy to set guardrails that enable the AI agent's defense functions while disabling other cyber activity,' which prevents misuse while allowing defenders to perform security analysis.","labels":["security","industry"],"sourceUrl":"https://thehackernews.com/2026/07/google-launches-gemini-35-flash-cyber.html","publishedAt":"2026-07-21T15:09:28.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["Google"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Google DeepMind","Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber","Gemini 3.6 Flash","Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite","CodeMender","Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-07-21T15:09:28.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity"],"aiComponentTargeted":"agent","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.92,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
