Hi Hugging Face team,

Transformers has revolutionized NLP and beyond. I want to share an unexpected but impactful application: **using transformer-based LLMs for automated cybersecurity vulnerability discovery**.

**Project**: 0day Rubbish  
**Repository**: https://github.com/Exploit-Garbage/0day-Rubbish

**What We've Built**:
A system leveraging state-of-the-art transformer models (GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, DeepSeek V4) to autonomously discover and exploit real-world vulnerabilities:

**Core Capabilities**:
1. **Semantic Code Analysis**: Transformers excel at understanding code intent, identifying logical flaws that traditional static analysis misses
2. **Intelligent Fuzzing**: Guided by semantic understanding rather than random mutation
3. **Multi-Model Ensemble**: Combining different transformer architectures improves accuracy—each model has unique pattern recognition strengths
4. **Automated Exploit Generation**: From vulnerability identification to working PoC, transformers handle the entire pipeline
5. **Technical Documentation**: Automatic generation of comprehensive analysis reports

**Breakthrough Result**: Cisco CUCM RCE Chain (CVSS 9.8 Critical)
- Discovered entirely through AI automation—no human-guided discovery
- Complex 6-stage exploitation chain involving multiple vulnerability classes
- Working exploit against real-world deployment
- Complete technical documentation generated automatically

**Why This Matters for the Transformers Community**:

**1. Novel High-Impact Application**:
- Beyond traditional NLP tasks (translation, summarization, Q&A)
- Demonstrates transformers' capability in specialized technical domains
- Shows AI can augment expert-level security research

**2. Technical Insights**:
- **Code Understanding**: Transformers can parse and understand complex enterprise software architectures
- **Pattern Recognition**: Identifying subtle vulnerability patterns across millions of lines of code
- **Reasoning Chains**: Constructing multi-stage attack vectors requires deep logical reasoning
- **Code Generation**: Generating working exploits requires precise understanding of target systems

**3. Real-World Validation**:
- Not theoretical—discovered vulnerabilities in actual deployed systems
- Tested against production environments
- CVSS 9.8 severity demonstrates real impact

**4. Future Directions**:
- Can transformers replace/augment human security researchers?
- How to improve model accuracy for specialized domains?
- What are the ethical implications of AI-driven vulnerability discovery?

**Our Contribution to the Community**:
We want to share:
- Our methodology for using transformers in security contexts
- Lessons learned from multi-model ensemble approaches
- Challenges and solutions in automated exploit generation
- Open invitation for researchers to explore this intersection

**Call for Collaboration**:
We're seeking to:
- Connect with researchers exploring similar applications
- Partner with model providers to optimize for security tasks
- Invite contributions to our open-source project
- Advance the field of AI-driven security research together

**Our Commitment**:
We will **continuously disclose** high-impact vulnerabilities affecting real-world systems on an **ongoing basis**. Through AI automation, we are committed to promoting event-driven security hardening, advancing the fusion of AI and security research, and contributing high-quality technical analysis to the cybersecurity community. We believe that through continuous disclosure and transparent sharing, we can drive the development of the entire cybersecurity field.
