Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Posted my RE//verse lightning talk! Breaking vLLM: Pre-Auth RCE Through Video Processing. Chain came together in December. Novel SSRF → known crash → controlled write → novel info leak → 0-day RCE. Disclosed a while ago as CVE-2026-22778. Was a great project to remember what we're building for at Autonomous Cyber. Validated 0-days and working exploit chains are the real benchmark for offensive AI. Thanks to the RE//verse team for the stage time! Video: https://lnkd.in/gDCrM6pM

I got a CVE for LFI in Adobe Magento! 🔥 Back in Jan, the team at Autonomous Cyber let me give them targets for their hackbot FUZZ-E to look at. It also found 2x zero days in Angular, which I'll post on later. With 1 run overnight, it found vulns in wildly hardened projects. Fully autonomously. J. Patrick O'Brien and team are legit. and I'm sure their hackbot is even better with gpt5.5 now. Here's a link to the adobe release. https://lnkd.in/ei67vQkk

⚡ Big news to share — I’m starting a new role as Chief Product Officer at Autonomous Cyber! I’m excited to get back to my cybersecurity roots and join a team that’s tackling some of the most important challenges in the space. A huge thank you to J. Patrick O'Brien and Bohdan Volyanyuk for the opportunity — and for the MIT Sloan connection that brought us together. Fun fact: I actually had the chance to work with Autonomous Cyber back in 2023, which makes this feel like a full-circle moment. As I step into this next chapter, I want to take a moment to thank my colleagues at LeagueApps. Over my time here, I’ve grown tremendously as a product leader. The trust, mentorship, and encouragement I received gave me the confidence to take this leap. I’m especially grateful to Brian Litvack and the entire LeagueApps team — the collaboration, innovation, and heart that define this company have been nothing short of inspiring. To my friends and peers in the cybersecurity community — I’d love to reconnect. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! Here’s to building meaningful solutions, growing alongside great people, and always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. 🚀
