Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

โš ๏ธ Node.js is vulnerable to remote code execution. CVE-2026-111497 (high): A Node.js process that decompresses attacker-controlled Brotli data can be made to leak memory or run arbitrary code. Youโ€™re exposed if your app or a library decompresses bad Brotli data (e.g. the built-in fetch(), body-parser) Aikido detects this. Patches are available.

If you build Unreal Engine games with Claude Code, install Epic's official Unreal Engine plugin first.

8 years of game development, and some kid with claude code + chatgpt is making games not far from my quality. AI can give everyone the tools to succeed while simultaneously making success harder to achieve. Itโ€™s like spending years climbing a mountain, only to discover that someone built a road to the top while you were climbing.

Brands are looking to get their own gTLD in @ICANN new round of names. Big brand like @adidas , @Cloudflare and @Airbnb (think .adidas...) oh every crypto thing so .bitcoin will be a thing. And of course AI and its cousin SuperIntelligence with .agent, .llm, superintelligence, .prompt, .mcp, .openai, .anthropic all under consideration. โ€œThe last time ICANN accepted applications for new gTLDs was in 2012,โ€ Marika Konings, vice president, New gTLD Program lead at ICANN, told @NetworkWorld . โ€œSince then, ICANN and the community have worked to make adjustments to the next round of the New gTLD Program.โ€networkworld.com/article/423โ€ฆ

I benchmarked "Jev-killer" OpenAI Decisions API against Jev for HiringCafe.com, serving 2.5 million users. The task is to predict how relevant a user query/resume is to a job description, on a scale of 1-10. OpenAI is 2x more expensive and 5-10% worse. ๐Ÿงต
Let your app choose the right model, tool, or action in near real-time with Decisions API, now available to all developers in public beta. The Decisions API makes decisions up to 10x faster than GPT-6 Luna through the Responses API.
