This week on Ship It Weekly, GitHub will block pull_request_target in public repos by default from December 2, with brownouts on Mondays, November 9 and 16, 11 AM to 1 PM ET. A WordPress core update race (CVE-2026-119977) is on CISA's exploited list: during a full-package update, a fresh installer can sit for a moment at a public URL under wp-content/upgrade. A hijacked DebugBear script drained about $2.7 million from Polymarket users after DebugBear's DNS was compromised through its registrar.

AI broke the cybersecurity world. Now what?

· 63 min

I’ve always enjoyed talking to security expert Alex Stamos because he’s so direct — and he doesn't mince words about how the multibillion dollar cybersecurity industry as we’ve known it is all but doomed thanks to the unrelenting, AI-boosted waves of hacks, breaches, and attacks.

The two dig into the latest changes to the AI plans we've all come to love, what constitutes something actually being slop, and where in the loop humans belong. Nick is also apparently auditioning to become a Fallthrough co-host! Let us know your thoughts on that. In this episode, Nick argues that the frontier labs stay winning regardless of the strategy you pick, whether that's Oxide's human-centric approach or the software factory agent-centric approach. Meanwhile, Kris argues that Ghostty is defin
