Fuzzilli vs BigSleep: 37 and 45 Vulnerabilities Found in V8 Over Six Months with 25% Overlap
Google's Project Zero compared two automated vulnerability discovery tools targeting the V8 JavaScript engine in Chrome. The generative fuzzer Fuzzilli identified 37 actionable vulnerabilities over six months, while the LLM-based agent BigSleep found 45. Only about 25% of the vulnerabilities overlapped between the two systems. Additional experiments on historical bugs from 2023 onward showed a theoretical overlap of around 60%. The analysis indicates that fuzzing and LLM agents complement each other rather than one replacing the other. Researchers recommend using both approaches together to maximize coverage of complex bugs in well-tested software like V8.
