The agent therefore had a feedback mechanism to find exploits, and attempt them against the containerised app.

Yeah, the feedback loop brings it from "omg did you hear that curl closed their bounty program because of slop" to "cve or gtfo". I have no doubt there are many teams that are doing this at scale, even with less capable models (local oss). If the model has a feedback loop and an easily testable success criteria, this becomes a pass@n problem, and it scales with "just money".
