AI is forcing us to pay off 40 years of technical debt

The PHP2Shell incident highlights something important: AI is making it easier to discover vulnerabilities, but fixing legacy security issues still requires time, expertise, and resources.

For businesses, this is a reminder that cybersecurity cannot be treated as a one-time task. Regular updates, security audits, and responsible maintenance matter just as much as adopting new technology.

As professional communities become more connected, sharing technical knowledge and learning from security experts will become increasingly valuable. That's also why platforms like Lobox focus on bringing professionals together to exchange knowledge, build connections, and discover relevant communities.

The bigger question is: are organisations investing enough in fixing their existing technical debt before adopting more AI-powered systems?

LoganDark•11m ago
The PHP situation was particularly bad because the people handling it made some very inappropriate choices, like being way too attached to the embargo even once the complete reproduction was circulating publicly on Twitter. That's not inherent to the security patch process, that's just people being stupid.

And no, from what I've seen, it had nothing to do with the few entities that did rightly ignore the embargo after the exploit was already being circulated, even though the PHP devs are seemingly still putting resources into spinning it that way.

With that said, I'm sure the defender community will eventually come up with a way to patch security vulnerabilities just about as fast as they can be discovered and exploited.

Better sooner than later, to be honest.

I hope some of these backdoors and/or 0-days being kept under wraps by nation states or corporate espionage companies (Pegasus et al) are being found incidentally through all this.

It’s frustrating to have all these 0days and CVEs to patch for now, but in the long run perhaps we’ll leave with more robust software.

Hopefully we'll also see us back to KISS principles too. But who am I kidding
jareklupinski•12m ago
personally have started going the other way: AI-assisted microkernels, and only the programming that is actually needed for the problem at hand

my webserver never needed a million lines of code just to pass bytes to other people

Having worked on both sides of the table, the reality is that it is far too easy to game certs like ISO27001. The risk calculation by companies taking that route is changing right out from under them thanks to Ai tools.

While we're at it, I'd appreciate easy secure authentication of a device without having to pull in a third party authentication provider. Thanks.

Yeah but AI also helps in lowering the debt ...
Kevin_Flynn•7m ago
Earlier this year, the cybersecurity firm Calif offered to independently audit PHP, sponsored by OpenAI. Within two weeks, a researcher at Calif, aided by AI tools, found a way to use the out-of-memory bug to run arbitrary code on the host server, allowing a malicious actor to install malware or read critical data. Now, it was no longer a minor bug—it was a critical vulnerability, and the Calif team alerted the PHP foundation to start working on a patch immediately.

So, the headline should read,

"AI is helping us eliminate 40 years of technical debt."

Since AI found the bug, and probably also generated the patch at this point.

An abundance of solutions is a problem for people who sell solutions.

bearjaws•7m ago
We've patched more bugs and more vulnerabilities in the last 3 months than entire years at my last job.

I fear it's only going to get worse.

Lucasoato•7m ago
We could rephrase it like this: “AI has removed all the excuses we had not to remove technical debt”

Yes, AI developed code might have vulnerabilities or bugs, but so already has your JSP based web server that has Oracle and God knows what else among dependencies.

I'm sure the NSA has an eye on the groups that are asking AI about security issues in various popular softwares ...
