Bitcoin Red Team Discovers Over 4,900 Vulnerabilities in AI-Assisted Audit

The Bitcoin Red Team has conducted an extensive AI-assisted audit of open-source projects, uncovering 4,962 issues across 390 projects within just 27.5 hours.

According to Calle, coordinator of the initiative, the team expanded to 16 globally distributed researchers operating around the clock on a large-scale security review of Bitcoin-related codebases.

The results showed that 85 issues were classified as critical and 635 ranked as high severity, with an average of 2.31 combined high and critical findings per person each hour.

The audit follows a major wallet security incident involving a Coldcard seed-generation flaw, which led to the theft of approximately 1,596 BTC from about 7,300 addresses across three verified attack waves.
