USING AI TO AUTOMATICALLY FUZZ RUST PROJECTS FROM SCRATCH

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A group of researchers have developed a tool called Fuzzomatic that automatically fuzzes Rust projects using AI. The tool attempts to find sample usage to generate a fuzz target by checking the project’s README, any source files under an examples directory, unit tests, benchmarks, or public functions in the project. The researchers tested their tool on 37 of the top 50 starred GitHub projects written in Rust and found new bugs in 14 of them.
