𝗣𝗹𝗲𝘅𝟮𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹: Exploited within a day of the 16 Oct write-up, with crypto miners and proxy malware installed. The fix had been out since early August.

“I already patched, so why should I care?” Patching doesn’t remove an attacker who got in before the fix. And you can’t patch what you don’t know is vulnerable. So verify what’s actually running across your environment and check that the fixes reached those systems. Patched everything you know about?

A critical vulnerability went undetected through multiple security audits. Hacktron found it in 10 minutes. The vulnerability was in Dassault Systèmes' DELMIA Apriso, manufacturing software used by Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, and previously Apple. It became CVE-2025-5086. Three months after disclosure, CISA confirmed it was being actively exploited. Security assessments capture a point in time. Attackers don't work on your schedule.

This is how another xz could have started. GNU Savannah hosts the upstream repositories for Bash, Coreutils, and hundreds of other GNU projects. We audited Savane, the software behind it, and found a path from a newly registered account to code execution.

regarding cve-2026-98432: it is a uaf in tcp, mptcp is needed to make the race win and to get the leak and write. the impact of the bug is bad, its essentially go2shell, caddy2shell etc. go 1.24+ servers are all vulnerable, because mptcp is enabled by default. BUT: 1. It is extremely hard to win the race reliably, anthropic said it took 40 mins for them to get leak and defeat kaslr 2. It is probably hard to exploit in practice. most routers, lbs and isps drop ip options, without that header you can't race at all, so realistically only a same network attacker can try, which is pretty common in sandbox infra my mythos worked on this for last 3 days burned ~$2k and couldn't build a reliable poc that can be sprayable. gpt-5.6 sol als exhausted my subscription and couldn't even get a leak. either anthropic has a unreleased model which is better than their public one or they have a pro exploit dev internally.

What if you could backdoor Bash, ls, cp, rm, and other GNU software used by millions of systems? Our research led us to hack GNU Savannah, the infrastructure hosting their source code. The xz backdoor that never happened 🧵

We've broken enough companies that we finally made it a service. Hacktron Red Team continuously tests your organisation's attack surface. Expert researchers and monitored Al agents find and prove the paths in, the way real attackers do. Then we help close them. When the fix lands, we go again. Critical CVEs are piling up. High-severity vulnerabilities are being exploited within days of disclosure. And Al is making it faster and cheaper to find, chain and exploit them. Attackers don't wait for your next pentest. Already running with AI research, AI infrastructure, and enterprise data platform companies: hacktron.ai/red-team

Patch Brotli2Shell!!!
⚠️🚨 you all need to patch brotli2shell/http2shell!⚠️🚨 we keep finding vulnerable versions in production during our client red teaming engagements. these bugs are usually at the application level, so most of your monitoring won't even catch them, and the impact could be whatever matters most to your organization.

php2shell is one of the most impactful bugs in recent times, yet threat actors aren’t mass exploiting it the bug is so complex that even porting the exploit between targets takes serious skill, human or ai so i benchmarked how well open and frontier models can do it. 🧵

The internet’s current security regime, which was built on the assumption that attackers are human, is obsolete in the face of AI. View article

Most companies have no idea how much of themselves is exposed. Pass the pentest, feel safe, then get hit through something that was never in scope. An old subdomain. A forgotten login. A vendor nobody remembered connecting. The test watched the front door. Nobody watched the back. We test what hackers see, all year. Book a call: hacktron.ai/calendar

🚨 One bug, three names, and a growing list of affected software. Here’s where HTTP2Shell / Node2Shell / Broccoli2Shell (CVE-2026-111497) stands. The flaw is an out-of-bounds write in Google’s Brotli decoder. It affects versions 1.0.3–1.0.9, 1.1.0 and 1.2.0, and GitHub rates it Critical at CVSS 9.2. Full breakdown: hacktron.ai/blog/node2shell?…

A crafted Brotli stream can crash a process, disclose process memory or, in some configurations, lead to code execution. Despite the “HTTP2Shell” name, this is not an HTTP/2 vulnerability. Any attacker-controlled Brotli stream that reaches an affected decoder may trigger it.

If you haven’t patched yet: update Node.js, Python Brotli and brotlicffi, Bun, Envoy and your system’s patched Brotli package, then rebuild images and restart services. Running processes keep the old decoder until they restart.
