The good news is that they are getting found and people could patch up their systems.

>good news

Yeah, a recent FF update fixed 100+ security issues found by one of the new super-AI LLMs.

>bad news

The flip side is that hackers are using LLMs to find them.

I'm hoping this will be a temporary thing. Right now they are finding 20yo flaws, but as that backlog gets processed it should slow down.

Drupal requires unit testing to release a minor patch. That has reduced the number of times an update breaks things. I am assuming AI exploit testing will also become a required step for any update.
