Mako: A Self-Evolving Agentic Operating System (SE-AOS) for Autonomous Web Exploitation
Self-evolving AI agent 'Mako' autonomously synthesises and chains web exploits at runtime — a paradigm shift that accelerates the offensive-defensive arms race.

arXiv:2607.11288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the Self-Evolving Agentic Operating System (SE-AOS): a new class of AI agent that treats exploit capability as a mutable, versioned kernel it extends at runtime, observing its own failures, synthesising new capabilities, proving them against a live target, and hot-loading them back into itself. Mako is the first SE-AOS instance for security research and the autonomous web exploitation engine developed within LaunchSafe. LaunchSafe bui
Editorial Analysis
Autonomous exploit-synthesis agents compress the attacker's cycle from days to minutes; enterprises with web-facing assets face an escalating threat that demands proactive hardening.
Conduct an immediate review of web-application attack surfaces for chainable vulnerability patterns that autonomous agents could exploit.
An AI system that autonomously discovers and chains web exploits signals a new class of offensive capability enterprises must prepare for.
