How AI Is Changing Cybersecurity and Exposing Decades of Bad Code

Critical PHP vulnerabilities discovered with AI. A major LiteLLM software supply chain attack. Unauthorized AI agents accessing US bank accounts. October 2026 delivered a remarkable week of cybersecurity news—but is AI creating new security threats or exposing weaknesses that have existed for decades?

Martin Reynolds and Adam Arellano break down the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, the Chainguard patch controversy, AI agent security risks, and the growing tension between software engineering and cybersecurity teams.

As AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and raises new questions about software security, the hosts debate who should be responsible for securing the next generation of applications—and whether this is just the beginning of a new era in cybersecurity.
