GLM-5.2: The real security risk? Plus: Vibe hunting, the end of CVSS and updates on Lightwell

About the episode

Securing open-source software in the AI era requires new approaches. Learn how Lightwell does it.

Z.ai’s GLM-5.2 is, according to some, as good at finding vulnerabilities as Mythos. Or at least, close to it. And it’s open weight.

On this episode of Security Intelligence, we:

  1. Dig into how powerful, open AI models are bringing frontier-style capabilities to more people, all while the proprietary models are emphasizing safeguards. What does it mean for cybersecurity pros? Security emergency, or a whole lot of hype?
  2. Then, we explore how CISA’s new BOD 26-04 ditches the old CVSS scoring system for a four-variable model that could reshape how every security team prioritizes vulnerabilities. 
  3. We also unpack “vibe hunting,” the AI-assisted evolution of threat hunting, and 
  4. Break down the commercial launch of Red Hat and IBM’s Lightwell.
