Aah.. that is indeed a problem since the threats have to be dealt with fast once they are reported since they are now basically public..

If a public tool can find a CVE in minutes to hours, it doesn't matter if some of the people using signed an NDA.

All it takes is someone how isn't going to report it to also find and exploit it

So the exploitation window doesn't start when it is reported it started at when the tool could have found it

llm sure have made world more shitty place..

I mean the alternitive, in this case, was security through obscurity, in which these exploits existed, could be reversed for years, and no one else would know .

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yes, but with llm they can be uncovered so fast they cant be processed fast enough. And you have to check every report carefully since llm come up with false information all the time, but malicious actors dont have to care about that. Also, now attackers don't have to stockpile the zeroday vulnerabilities, infact they have to use them fast before they are potentially patched.

Right, the next step is how do we filter BS faster for devs and fix/mitigate bugs faster or even better prevent this category of bugs from being implimented.
