MDASH

Multi-model agentic scanning harness for vulnerability discovery and validation.

First observed 2026-05-12 · Last verified 2026-08-27 ·FRESH · ASI-1.0 · ASI-TAXONOMY-1.1

Deterministic executive summary

EARLYUNKNOWNUNKNOWN

MDASH has 1 confirmed capability assertion(s) and 0 confirmed control assertion(s). Evidence maturity is EARLY; autonomy is UNKNOWN; action authority is UNKNOWN. No qualifying independent validation is recorded.

What actually differs?

The documented boundary is UNKNOWN with UNKNOWN operation. This describes authority and initiation, not effectiveness. No qualifying independent validation is recorded.

buyer

Treat missing independent validation as NONE_FOUND, not proof of ineffectiveness.

competitive

Compare documented action authority, trigger model, lifecycle, and evidence breadth; do not compare vendor outcome claims as equivalent measurements.

confidence

EARLY under ASI-1.0; No qualifying independent validation is recorded.

governance

Control evidence covers 0 scoped control assertion(s); verify local policy configuration before enabling write actions.

operational

Plan operating procedures around UNKNOWN initiation and UNKNOWN action authority.

technical

Current evidence establishes 1 scoped capability assertion(s); undocumented capabilities remain UNKNOWN.

Derived under ASI-1.0; last verified 2026-08-27.

Evidence and provenance

VENDOR CLAIM EV-MDASH-AGENTS · E1

The harness orchestrates more than 100 specialized AI agents across an ensemble of frontier and distilled models to discover, debate, and prove exploitable bugs end-to-end.

Evidence conflicts

No human-confirmed conflict is published for this system.

Recent changes

NO_MATERIAL_CHANGE is recorded for this profile.

Unknowns

Any evidence-panel row marked UNKNOWN is not a negative capability claim. Any NONE_FOUND row means the current governed corpus contains no qualifying evidence.
