Google's Chrome security team used AI agents to discover 1,072 vulnerabilities across recent browser releases, including a 13-year-old sandbox escape in the V8 engine, by automating vulnerability detection, triage, and fix generation. The team deployed LLM-powered tools in early 2026 that found bugs with higher efficiency and fewer false positives than prior methods, while simultaneously automating triage workflows that previously required 5-30 minutes per bug. As a result, Chrome is shifting to two security releases per week and piloting dynamic patching to eliminate restart requirements, compressing the window between vulnerability discovery and user protection.
