Not who you were asking and not explicitly looking for vulnerabilities... I have gotten a ton of mileage from getting Claude to reverse engineer both firmware and applications with Ghidra and radare2. My usual prompt starts with "Here's the problem I'm having [insert problem]. @foo.exe is the _installer for the latest firmware update_. Extract the firmware and determine if there's a plausible path that could cause this problem. Document how you've extracted the firmware, how you've done the analysis, and the ultimate conclusions in @this-markdown-file.md"

I have gotten absolutely incredible results out of it. I have had a few hallucinations/incorrect analyses (hard to tell which it was), but in general the results have been fantastic.

The closest I've come to security vulnerabilities was a Bluetooth OBD-II reader. I gave Claude the APK and asked it to reverse engineer the BLE protocol so that I could use the device from Python. There was apparently a ton of obfuscation in the APK, with the actual BLE logic buried inside an obfuscated native code library instead of Java code. Claude eventually asked me to install the Android emulator so that it could use https://frida.re to do dynamic instrumentation instead of relying entirely on static analysis. The output was impressive.
