Prompt screenshot shows an adversarial approach: tasking an AI agent to hunt Apache vulnerabilities locally
jd_pressman · x · 2026-10-25
A screenshot circulating on X shows a prompt directing an AI agent to do an "adversarial pass" on the Apache version in a local git repo — hunt for an exploitable vulnerability in typical use cases, with strict local-only scoping (real web servers/IPs out of scope) and free rein to download assisting tools. The poster jokes he should have added "don't do a HuggingFace". It's a notable example of prompt-engineering agents into offensive-security research mode.
