Real Vulnerabilities
Found by AI Agents

Every finding below was discovered autonomously by Strobes AI agents during authorized security assessments. Click any card to see the full agent trace with thinking steps, tool calls, and the chain of reasoning that led to discovery.

A note on these traces: These are real-world examples from authorized security engagements. All identifying information has been heavily redacted. The traces were extracted programmatically from agent execution logs, so some formatting artifacts may appear. We apologize for any rough edges - the substance of what our agents found and how they found it is what matters.
