Getting started with Mantis, our open-source bug finding-and-fixing harness
Google has released Mantis, an open-source framework designed to automate the discovery, triage, reproduction, and patching of software vulnerabilities.
Why it matters
It helps software defenders use AI to find and fix security holes faster, reducing the risk of exploits by automating the traditionally manual patching process.
The details
Mantis uses critic and review agents to verify results. It analyzes repository history to automatically generate architectural and threat model documentation. Google suggests providing human-curated knowledge to improve scanning quality. Users can also implement custom sandboxes to fit their workflow.
What's next
After mastering AI-discovered vulnerabilities, users can use the mantis-advise skill to help coding agents write secure code.
