The WP2Shell vulnerability proves that automation is a fool's errand when it comes to security. Focusing solely on tooling ignores the messy human element. We need to stop pretending machines can replace rigorous, intelligent human oversight. Are we truly so naive?
The strongest counter
Automated tools are a crucial first line of defence. Improving and integrating them further enables human reviewers to focus on complex, nuanced threats, rather than basic errors. It is not an either/or.
