So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and https://t.co/QlOXb3COq3 went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

@fabrice_mayrand We spent years in cybersecurity worrying about MITM, and they’re….. inviting to do it as a service. This is moronic.

@jukan05 Has anyone yet coined AI-Kiddies? Can I be the first?

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

You missed a critical component - trust and privacy. Here is what I read “Buy an existing business and nuke their privacy and security model by shipping all data to AI companies”. You explicitly mentioned cloud services, this is DOA on the spot, or juggling chainsaws with regulations.

@miltovi777 <sniff> this is what my paper on software virtualization in 2002 envisioned but never brought to life. Awesome!

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

@joshua_saxe I stand corrected. I now see a prominent cybersecurity influencer with a large megaphone using his platform to belittle the threats quite aggressively (Marcus Hutchins). Now sure if it’s for hot takes and engagement or whether he truly believes that the threat is not real.

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

Is this rage bait bait or based on real conversations? The cybersecurity industry that I know, at least on the defensive side, is taking this very seriously. The hacks changed the direction for the whole industry. We’re going to go through some very serious pain for a few years before nee steady state.

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

@joshua_saxe It’s quite frustrating. Like watching a bus flying at a wall, in slow motion.

@vxunderground It’s time for corporate death penalty

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

To avoid the perception of shilling I will not /name/ the product but that’s exactly what we built and have customers using.

Credential injection, per-command authorization against a policy (fast, cedar), full audit log.

Eliminating all credentials at agent, authorization based on identity, audit and data redaction if necessary (no PII coming back to the agent from DB)
Can mention product if asked or DM

@pratikg @darkbloomai What’s the security model? Are people opening themselves up as well to be (indirect) residential proxies ?

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

@Meaningness Eh, started with a bang, ended with a whimper

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

@GergelyOrosz Does it, just in case, send all data that it can touch to the spacex servers?

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

@robertgraham Last person I expected to do this, but cool project as I agree with your instructions for translation. Thanks, might be my way into the book.

@sama What happens when IOCs, samples or artifacts trigger guardrails? Attackers will use unrestricted models, defenders need the same - right?

[Dmitriy @ThreadState]

Must watch for everyone in cybersecurity

[DANΞ @cryps1s]

Our Black Hat talk on the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident is now live on youtube.

This is a watershed moment for the industry. I encourage all defenders to watch, consider how attack dynamics will imminently change, and plan for accelerating defense.

@gdb It was mind blowing … one of the parts reminded me of an OS architecture lecture in which it was made clear that any two processes that can see anything common can communicate like using Morse code with page faults.

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

@itsolelehmann Cool, cool, cool, wait what? Wtf? Do they also avoid vaccines and roll coal? Weird claims and flexes in what could be a nice story.
