But would they be able to find those obscure exploits if they had no idea what your code looks like?
If all you had was an API endpoint, you wouldn’t realistically have any way of figuring out how the internals work and finding obscure exploits.
That said, if we were a closed source project, I don't know that our own tooling would have discovered all the issues using LLMs as we are seeing more and more creative ways of people exposing exploits that I never would have thought to put into the LLM prompts.
