Today in InfoSec Job Security News:
I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically.
So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month.
https://github.com/search?q=author%3Aclaude&type=commits&s=author-date&o=desc
As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.
@GossiTheDog I see it, could probably start a threat intelligence business off the claude feed

That Claude is a "clod", and boy does Claude get around I tell ya'.
Claude is everywhere you want an exploit to be.

@badsamurai @da_667 @GossiTheDog I've seen setups that run tests and such all in a closed loop, I suppose if one really wanted to "use" this shit, they could implement that sort of thing too.
It'll cause a shedload more token use (and electrical waste) but might mitigate some of the idiocy.
@draeath @badsamurai @da_667 @GossiTheDog That's what amazes me about the "hallucinated citations" stories. Making bots not hallucinate is certainly not readily feasible, quite possible infeasible in practice; but just checking citations one at a time for existence would have been cutting edge in maybe the 1960s. Why is anyone skipping such trivial cleanup steps when using a known-unreliable tool?

@GossiTheDog in a few months, the user creation and password management will be a solved problem, every software will have a semi-public backdoor that everybody will use

@GossiTheDog what was the vulnerability you found in those search results over and over? I only get html and css stuff when I click that link.

These MFers yeet DIRFT (Do it right the first time) and TQM principles to play hooky on the plinko and demand you call them a genius.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social An instance of eating the seed corn, I'd say ( https://buc.ci/abucci/p/1705679109.757852 ).

@GossiTheDog can you please post this also over on LinkedIn for all of the corporate people and CEOs to see?
We can't highlight how much of a liability generator all of this is...

@da_667 I demoed that very thing recently. Prompted up a form page and visually I could see a handful of basic JavaScript issues.
Ask Claude to review the code it generated for vulns using OWASP Top 10. And it finds them.
That’s just bonkers. Sure, a lazy initial prompt so it’s all my fault, really.
@badsamurai @da_667 @GossiTheDog Hey, as somebody writing a CTF, it's handy to get randomly introduced vulnerabilities!
-
@GossiTheDog If only a significant number of security practitioners could have seen it coming and warned people.
Well I guess this must be what they meant by the saying "only idiots don't learn anything from their failures and smart people even learn from the failures of others, not just their own."

I'd invite anyone to enjoy the collection of content at #directoryTraversalMemes

@GossiTheDog I guess the AI security scanners will clean this up with their automated scan and CVE requests.</joke>
@hughsie @GossiTheDog It’s the circle of life. Extra points if the fix has new vulnerabilities in it!

@nihkeys @DJGummikuh @GossiTheDog I don't think that phrase allows for incompetency in design. The purpose is what was intended, not what actually results. There is a distinction.
@draeath @nihkeys @DJGummikuh @GossiTheDog not if you want to understand the system.

@GossiTheDog I became used to checking projects I am checking out for claude (etc) in the source files and commits really fast
@spinnyspinlock@infosec.exchange @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social If github lists claude (or other LLMs) as one of the top contributors I consider that a red flag

@GossiTheDog this happens when people don’t care nor use AI responsibly… we have to do proper reviews EVERY SINGLE TIME

@GossiTheDog but... Do these repositories all not have any review processes for their PRs?

@GossiTheDog
So just make a bot that goes around behind claude and files a vuln bug and lists the revert as the fix.
