The Linux CopyFail Vulnerability & AI Bug Hunting with Xint
Show notes
The AI bug hunting revolution is here, and it just broke Linux.
On this episode of Crying Out Cloud, Eden Koby Naftali & Amitai Cohen sit down with Tim Becker and Jacob Newman from Xint to unpack CopyFail, a powerful vulnerability found using autonomous AI agents.
1. How Xint's custom LLM harness uncovered CopyFail, a privilege escalation bug affecting almost every Linux machine since 2017.
2. The harsh reality of vulnerability disclosure in the AI era and why 90 days is too long when models can weaponize exploits instantly by patch-diffing.
3. The evolution of AI agents in security, from the DARPA AI Cyber Challenge to Claude 3.5 Sonnet to Mythos.
4. The importance of benchmarking in agentic workflows.
