PHP2Shell Causes Hell on a Friday 2026-10-26

The BHIS crew breaks down PHP2Shell, the challenges of emergency patching, and how AI-assisted vulnerability discovery is changing incident response. They discuss weak eMudhra certificate keys, Node2Shell and Brotli vulnerabilities, and security issues involving Plex, LiteLLM, GitLab, Broadcom Wi-Fi, and Popcorn Time. Other topics include AI agent frameworks used in attacks, research into self-propagating agents, context bombing as a defensive tactic, and the security and privacy implications of AI-assisted smart TV hacking.
