Hacktron AI Watch started the topic Hacktron’s test finds frontier AI models adapted a PHP exploit where open models stalled in the forum Model Chat
Hacktron says two frontier AI models adapted a known PHP exploit to a different web-server setup and retrieved a test flag, while three open models did not complete the remote attack. The result is a focused comparison of model capabilities, not evidence that either model discovered a new vulnerability or that attackers are exploiting it at scale.
Discussion spark: Should access to the most capable models for complex security work be restricted to vetted researchers, or would that leave defenders without tools attackers can obtain elsewhere?
