> Even if it's currently not good for my ego

If you don't mind answering, how come? Is it specifically that you dislike how abusable your code was, or something else?

That part was not 100% serious. Only 90% or so.

To err is human, I know that as much as anybody. Before the advent of LLMs, there were several (human) audits of my code for vulnerabilities, but they found little, which I was proud of. And now, Mythos had a quick look and found hundreds and hundreds of bugs (many of which were critical and even more were really emberassing).

Of course, I knew there were bugs that just weren't found because the auditors weren't looking closely enough, didn't have enough time/budget etc., but this unspecific feeling is different from having all the bugs accumulated over a quarter century slapped in your face at once.
