Earlier this year, cybersecurity researchers uncovered a dormant flaw in PHP, the open-source coding language powering roughly 70% of the world's websites. The extent of the bug was only revealed through the use of frontier AI models. Today's Odd Lots features two staffers at Calif, the cybersecurity firm that first identified the vulnerability.
CEO Thai Duong and engineer Bruce Dang discuss how their firm partners with major AI labs and neoclouds to test models and scan infrastructure for weaknesses. They explain what Calif actually sells—tools to probe AI systems—and preview how AI will shape future cybersecurity. The episode highlights that this PHP hack won't be the last significant AI-driven cybersecurity threat.
