This tweet suggests that upcoming AI technologies, like GPT-5, could potentially create adaptive payloads that bypass Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) more effectively. WAFs are security devices that protect web applications from attacks such as XSS, SQLi, and RCE. The tweet implies that even though current WAFs are smart, AI advancements will make it easier to find new ways to circumvent them. It highlights a future concern in cybersecurity where attackers may use AI to continuously generate novel malicious payloads that evade detection by WAFs, posing a challenge for defenders to keep their protections updated and robust against these adaptive threats.
