Everything hackable will get hacked

AI’s growing cybersecurity capabilities are changing both offensive threats and defensive practices, with the author arguing that defenders currently retain a temporary advantage through access to stronger safeguarded frontier models than the openly available models capable of offensive research. The post cites a reported Hugging Face-related incident in which models discovered vulnerabilities that bypassed network restrictions and enabled broader exploitation, while also describing tests in which the open-weight Kimi K3 independently investigated potential sandbox escape paths, built a reproduction environment, and created a fuzzer without achieving an escape. It contends that frontier models can already support defensive tasks such as large-scale source-code security reviews, prompting the development of the open-source deepsec tool, which is presented as useful for identifying issues including authorization flaws, cross-site scripting, and server-side request forgery. Vercel says it performs recurring deepsec reviews and automated pull-request checks, has expanded sandbox egress firewall access, plans a HackerOne program focused on sandbox and firewall vulnerabilities, and intends to use AI-assisted triage to manage findings as models become more capable.
