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 It's almost like, maybe, only humans should program computers. Computers should not be submitting and merging their own PRs, am I right ?

@GossiTheDog https://github.com/claude right now showing "Something went wrong, please refresh the page to try again." Yeah, dude.

Makes me wonder if this is a effort by "closed source" to disrupt/poison/discredit open source?

@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 If it was an accident, or incompetence, then it would be rapidly corrected.
If it's not rapidly corrected, then it is the purpose.

@GossiTheDog @deliberately_me oh goodie. Our global repository has been compromised by a worm.

@GossiTheDog I think @timbray might be interested in that too.

@c64whiz @GossiTheDog
This was honestly my first thought.The vast majority of the tv-news-watching public barely understands computers as it is through no real fault of their own as they have been spoonfed "magic and mystery" since the dialup days.
The distinction of "open source = MORE dangerous than big company software" would be very easy for a front of united major media outlets owned by a handful rich folks to spread and most people will not be equipped to tell facts from misinformation.
How well have those open source legal protections been working against the "smart TV" industry? I'd bet every TV holding shelf I hit at Wal-Mart will be stocked with misappropriated GPL code and no source distribution.
This is the same tactic major corps use to obtain IP for themselves.
Lock up the originator in tedious, costly busywork (typically legal, claiming infringement to start a costly time-consuming trial, for most corps) and then when the originator can't handle it and collapse under the weight of it all, the corps take the product as their own.
Tying up repos with vulnerabilities that might not get noticed just might work out well for the major software outfits in the long run.
It's reprehensible and a little more haphazard, but it sure looks awfully familiar.

Aaaahhh!
Who is giving clankers commit privileges to their repositories? Seems like an obvious failure of project management. -
@GossiTheDog This was literally the first major security mistake I made in my early days as a Perl developer and I don't imagine it's that uncommon. Claude has probably been trained with a truckload of code with these vulnerabilities.
That's okay because we run everything in single-purpose Docker containers now though, right? /s
I keep pointing out to my coworkers that these clankers are trained on StackOverflow posts that contain code examples followed by "here's what I wrote, why doesn't it work?"

This is just starting to sound like a cyber attack.

@GossiTheDog This kind of basic stuff is easily caught by any free static analysis tool. There's no excuse to not be running one in one's repo, vibe-coded or not.

@da_667 @GossiTheDog I wish that juice actually existed...
@Drat @da_667 @GossiTheDog It does. In the form I was really fond of it's $50 per 750 ml and makes you say stupid shit like, "GASP...that's really smooth...." and then shove your head up your ass.
But I'm actually sick to death of that kind of oblivion. The shit I have to unsee just keeps adding up as does the shame of letting shit pass by unopposed.

Seems like an obvious failure of project management.@n1xnx @GossiTheDog Especially earlier in my career, I could easily have been taken in by thinking I'm getting actual help from a "friend" who wants to join me on the project and I'd have not really looked into it too much.
A lot of these projects are just peoples' hobbies that blow up...you know, or fail to. When they do blow up the developer(s) can end up severely overworked and frankly inexperienced for dealing with the management part.
So yeah...this is going to be a disaster.

@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?
@fuzzyfuzzyfungus is the question not more "why is anyone using such unreliable tools in the first place?" They've proven time and time again that the result is less than sub par, they create as many if not more issues than they fix, they've fucked up ram prices and soon storage prices, they use too much energy.. i could go on but fuck, if that's not enough i don't know what to say.
