Security researcher cyb3rops highlights Anthropic's report that Claude discovered CVE-2026-98432 — introduced by an October 2015 performance optimization in the Linux TCP/IPv4 stack — and developed a working exploit granting unauthenticated remote root code execution against servers with an MPTCP listener. He argues this shows AI now scrutinizes decades of memory-unsafe critical infrastructure code that humans could never fully review, with major implications for cybersecurity.
