In the opening to his book Engineering Security (2014), Peter Gutmann observed that “a great many of today’s security technologies are ‘secure’ only because no one has ever bothered to look at them.” That observation was made before AI made looking for bugs dramatically cheaper. Most present-day code—including the open source infrastructure that commercial software depends on—is maintained by small teams, part-time contributors, or individual volunteers with no dedicated security resources. A bug in any open source project can have significant downstream impact, too. In 2021, a critical vulner
Claude Mythos Finds Zero-Days—But Rust Quietly Shuts The Door… This isn’t a flaw specific to OpenClaw’s design, Ruiz says, but a consequence of how large language models process instructions. “How do you ensure that nobody is putting a prompt injection attack inside an email?” He asks. “It’s so immense, the kind of things that you need to look after.” While th… …
