PHP2Shell: just another critical vulnerability but on a much faster clock...
AI didn’t make PHP vulnerable. It changed the economics of finding and exploiting the bugs already there.
@fede_k breaks down what happened and the shrinking window for defenders: xbow.com/labs/field-notes/ph…

The abundance of RCE in these days, remind me the 2000. Exploits were shared, traded but also kept private, some lived for years.

Come train alongside your security peers at the SANS Institute AI Cybersecurity Summit. Our registrants are from banks, hospitals, utilities, manufacturers, technology companies and government agencies, and we're all back in boot camp!
These are people you can learn with, talk through a problem with, and call after the conference.
We’ve set aside two afternoons for six hands-on workshops. Pick two:
AI incident response:
Practice responding to compromised AI workloads with Steve de Vera (AWS) and Kyle Shields, CISM, GCIH, GCPN (AWS).
AI swarms:
Investigate intrusions involving multiple AI agents with @joswr1ght (CounterHack).
Offensive AI:
Use AI to exploit vulnerable applications with Andy Dennis and and William Reyor (@Xbow)
Delegating to agents:
Practice assigning security work to agents while retaining control with @lennyzeltser (SANS Institute).
AI pentesting:
Practice AI-assisted penetration testing with @pedramamini (OPSWAT) and Adrian Wood (Dropbox / BT6).
Autonomous DFIR:
Work with Caleb Evans (Airbyte) and Mulder, his winning Find Evil! incident-response agent.
Registration closes SOON for @SANSInstitute AI Cybersecurity Summit
See you in Arlington, VA (Select Summit talks are also available live online.) Registration includes virtual access to @unpromptedconf II

Woot! the @unpromptedau talks are starting to coming come online! 👀
This one by @moyix was probably my favorite: 15mins of unadulterated old-school “I’m hacking this because I think I can” followed by a one-shot live exploit demo involving a t-shirt with a cat on it worn by @mdowd. Seriously just go watch it
(and subscribe for the others… More on the way!)

XBOW Built a Chrome Full-Chain Exploit Affecting a Billion Users in Six Days
XBOW researchers and GPT-5.6 Sol discovered and built a Chrome full-chain exploit in less than a week, showing how an attacker could use Chrome to remotely take over a Windows machine.
The breakthrough highlights how the cost and time of finding serious vulnerabilities are falling fast, for attackers and defenders alike.
Get details on the exploit and what it means.

Thanks for the shoutout @Jason
Yes it’s true: a full Chrome exploit was achieved by just 1 researcher + @Xbow ’s AI agents in 6 days with ~$40K of compute! 1B+ users protected, all patched✌️
The takeaway is that elite cyber defense (and offense) is now compute-bound, not talent-bound. Annual security reviews and pen tests can't keep up when software is being updated real-time! XBOW like autonomous white-hat should be mandatory part of your security stack!
Ensure your (digital) doors and windows are locked!

4/ 6 days and $40k is not a lot of time or money when the payoff is a Chrome chain! This does *not* mean anyone can get a Chrome chain given that time and money—we applied a fair bit of our own human expertise and judgment—but the bar is *significantly* lower. Defend accordingly!

‼️ Researchers used AI agents running OpenAI's public GPT-5.6 Sol to build a 3-bug Chrome exploit chain in 6 days.
Loading a web page could execute code on Windows, outside Chrome. Google fixed all three bugs and paid $250,000.
