The White House has launched Gold Eagle, a Treasury Department-led program that coordinates the security community’s use of frontier AI models to identify and fix software vulnerabilities at scale. The clearinghouse responds to the surge in vulnerabilities discovered through AI-driven analysis, which has strained traditional disclosure and remediation processes.
Gold Eagle operates through the Vulnerability Information and Coordination Environment, or VINCE, developed in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute. The program has already begun intake and prioritization of vulnerabilities across industries, coordinating scanning verification and remediation efforts.
The initiative spans multiple agencies including CISA, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the program is designed to help both public and private organizations find and patch vulnerabilities discovered through AI before adversaries can exploit them.
Gold Eagle was established by executive order last month and represents the administration’s most concrete step yet toward operationalizing AI for defensive cybersecurity at a national scale. The clearinghouse model aims to replace fragmented vulnerability handling with a unified coordination pipeline that benefits from machine-speed analysis.
