Could you build this?
Partial Generating tests and security checks from git diffs with LLMs is easy to prototype, but building an autonomous agentic adversarial harness that executes real exploit payloads, manages sandbox environments, and deterministically reproduces logic vulnerabilities requires advanced application security and fuzzing systems.
What it would actually take: Built using ephemeral container environments (e.g., Docker/Kubernetes) orchestrated by an AST/diff analyzer to determine the attack surface, feeding autonomous agents equipped with headless browsers (Playwright), dynamic API fuzzers, and network interception proxies. The hard part is stateful exploit orchestration, generating valid authentication sessions across multi-tenant contexts, and avoiding flaky false positives. Requires deep cybersecurity, penetration testing, and test automation engineering.
