Securing AI-Generated Code with Multiple Self-Learning AI Agents
Read this blog on the research CrowdStrike data scientists have into developing self-learning, multi-agent AI systems that employ Red Teaming capabilities.
CrowdStrike data scientists have developed a self-learning, multi-agent AI system designed to identify and patch vulnerabilities in AI-generated code. The research, presented at the NVIDIA GTC 2025 conference, aims to address the growing cybersecurity risks posed by the rapid adoption of autonomous code generation tools like "vibe coding"—a concept popularized by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy.
The Challenge: AI-Generated Code and Vulnerabilities
With the rise of large language models (LLMs) enabling non-technical users to generate code via simple prompts, the volume of software—and potential vulnerabilities—is exploding. Traditional human-led vulnerability detection and patching processes struggle to keep pace, creating a widening gap for adversaries to exploit.
The Solution: Three AI Agents Working in Tandem
CrowdStrike's proof-of-concept system leverages three specialized AI agents:
- Vulnerability Scanning Agent: Identifies code vulnerabilities using static application security testing (SAST) tools.
- Red Teaming Agent: Builds exploitation scripts to validate vulnerabilities, learning from historical data.
- Patching Agent: Generates security unit tests and patches based on feedback from the other agents.
Key Innovations
- Self-Learning Workflow: Agents continuously improve by sharing knowledge and adapting to new cases.
- 90% Faster Remediation: The system reduces the time to identify and patch vulnerabilities compared to manual processes.
- Proactive Exploitation Testing: The Red Teaming agent simulates real-world attacks to validate vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
Industry Implications
CrowdStrike's research highlights the urgent need for AI-native security solutions as autonomous coding becomes mainstream. By integrating security into the development lifecycle, organizations can mitigate risks before code is deployed.
