[AI injects a binary payload into user-space memory that it can write on. It then runs the glitcher, which exploits a vulnerability in BASH, which uses the payload to  jump execution to ring 0, and grants the current user a root security token. AI makes use of this to gain root control, sets root password to something impossible for humans to remember or guess.]
