AI agents untangle cert-vendor mess: find every outdated dep and rebuild images automatically
kuza55 · x · 2026-10-23
In a debate over whether php2shell is overhyped, kuza55 shares hands-on experience using AI agents to resolve the eMudhra certificate mess: you just tell the agents you need to patch everything, and they find all the components requiring updates, then build new images for things lacking upstream fixes.
It's a concrete case of AI agents' real value in security incident response — offloading tedious dependency inventory and image rebuilding to dramatically lower the cost of mass patching. The thread started with security practitioner Joshua Saxe arguing that while php2shell is serious, calling it "the worst day in cybersecurity history" overstates the risk.
