MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617057806 A) filed by International Business Machines Corporation on May 06, 2026, for Using Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (hrl) To Identify Application Programming Interfaces (api) Vulnerabilities.
Inventors include Blinder, Oleg; Boehm, Omer Yehuda; and Moffie, Micha Gideon.
The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to various approaches, includes causing a predetermined HRL agent to perform, in a controlled environment, execution of a first potentially malicious API call against a predetermined API. Performing execution of the first potentially malicious API call against the predetermined API includes: causing a first sub-agent of a first stage of an architecture of the HRL agent to make a first selection for defining a first portion of a first API call. Performing execution of the first potentially malicious API call against the predetermined API furthermore includes causing a second sub-agent of a second stage of the architecture of the HRL agent to make a second selection for defining a second portion of the first API call, and issuing the first API call to the predetermined API. First reward- based feedback is provided to the first sub-agent and the second sub-agent.
