A new stable series of #WebKitGTK was released recently, but work on future improvements continues. Nothing like a new installment of #WebKitIgaliaPeriodicals to keep tabs on what we're up to!

WIP #21 is now available! → blogs.igalia.com/webkit/blog/...

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything
: Hallucinated package names fuel 'slopsquatting'

It requires a few tooling fixes (to be submitted soon), alongside the PR github.com/WebKit/WebKi..., follow-up to the main commit commits.webkit.org/288145@main, landed earlier today.

6 years at @igalia.com 🎂🍾 and couldn't be happier! 🥰

btw, if you're in the software industry and like free and open source sw, flat and democratic organization, work-life balance, I really recommend to learn a bit about Igalia. Ok, I may sound biased, but 6 years should be enough to justify it 🙃
