- Claude AI discovered RCE vulnerabilities in both Vim and Emacs by opening files, prompting immediate patching for Vim but not for Emacs due to attribution to git.
- The article introduces MAD Bugs (Month of AI-Discovered Bugs), highlighting a shift where AI can now be prompted to find serious security bugs, reminiscent of early 2000s hacking accessibility.
- A correction notes the Vim patch version should be 9.2.0272, not 172, emphasizing the need for updates.
