RESEARCH REPORT Microsoft FORGE Lab researchers published findings on using agentic analysis tools—specifically Hyenas, a research variant of codename MDASH—to discover memory safety vulnerabilities in Rust's core and std libraries. The research highlights three specific patterns of misplaced trust in unsafe code where safe Rust wrappers can lead to undefined behavior. SECURITY RELEVANCE 1. Demonstrates practical application of agentic tools in static/dynamic vulnerability discovery across low-level infrastructure. 2. Emphasizes the security boundaries and risks of unsafe code abstraction in systems programming, critical for agents executing or analyzing low-level codebases.
