I don't think anybody actually watches videos any more, so here's MWT's core point -
The flagship and lead vuln in the research is a BSD vuln, it cost $20k to discover with Mythos. Anthropic only reached a crash, and the vuln class in 99%+ cases never reaches RCE, just crashes.
So.. cool.. you spent $20k of VC money to find a crash as the flagship vuln. But... uhm... that isn't the end of the world.
The proof is going to be if any of the open source vulns turn out to be important. So far:
Anthropic set the project across open source projects and provided access and reported the vulns. Typically, you'd expect to see NCSCs spinning up advisories to patch high impact vulns, CISA telling orgs to patch etc etc etc.
What's actually happening is... uhm... a whole heap of nothing but people copy and pasting marketing about how cybersecurity is over.
It's not though, is it?
@GossiTheDog Haven't we already been there with fuzzing?
Anyway, even if Mythos is as good as they claim, that's not really a problem as long as it is available only to a few. It's when every script kiddie gets access to it that we should start worrying.
@bontchev @GossiTheDog Agreed. Current recommendation from our end:
Keep calm, find and fix bugs, make the world a bit safer one bug at a time...
And ignore the hype train, but keep an open eye on how real and measurable things develop. Just what we did before.
