Hi HN, I'm Prem. I worked in cloud security for years and decided to build Netlumi. The mission is to take the burden of cloud, infrastructure and AI security off teams. We auto remediate. We find threats and attack paths in your cloud and open a pull request with the fix in your IaC code. All you need to do is review and merge. Each PR says what was checked, and we validate our fixes before we send them. Nothing is ever applied for you. We also look at the AI agents in your cloud: what each agent's identities can reach, and which of that data couldn't be restored if it were deleted. You can…

An attacker cannot reach the flaw through core alone, the Drupal Security Team said in its advisory. Several exploit paths exist through contributed modules, and at least one known path needs no login.
