Just had my 0-day go public on today's Patch Tuesday Found a 1 click RCE in Windows PowerShell got CVE-2026-40400 assigned along with the fix

PHP allows bitwise XOR operation of strings so we can "create" words like system, id, curl... really useful for bypassing some challs that might be blocking strings

I remember doing my first buffer overflow ctf, couldn't understand anything so spammed AAAA... and got the flag
The bug is like a joke. On Alpine Linux, type 257 to 1024 characters of anything and you get root. 💀

What!
‼️ BREAKING: OpenSSH has rushed out a fix for a critical flaw that lets attackers log into some Linux servers without the right password. The team learned of the bug a day earlier. OpenSSH's Damien Miller says long embargoes now mostly help attackers, because AI agents rediscover bugs, sometimes within hours. It hits Linux systems on the musl C library with PAM off, such as Alpine Linux. Miller told admins to disable password logins or SSH itself "IMMEDIATELY". Version 10.6p2 works around it. Systems on glibc or PAM are not affected, and Miller says the root cause sits outside OpenSSH.

So I recently joined @SarvamAI cyber team as a security engineer and shifted to BLR. Been here a few times before but don't have much friends here. So still figuring out my social life here. Would love to hang out, grab coffee, or do random plans on weekends if you're around.

Today we’re releasing Sarvam Prism, a System One model built on Sarvam 105B for fast, accurate decisions across enterprise workflows. It scores 71.8 with a median response time of 44 milliseconds, the highest average score among decision models that respond in under 100 milliseconds.

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp… github.com/RikiyaT/lm_und… huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0… huggingface.co/RikiyaT/Qwen3.…

🚨 Nightmare day for cybersecurity Multiple major security incidents, active exploits, supply chain compromises... If you run production systems, start patching NOW. PHP: Two critical unauthenticated RCEs. Attackers already exploiting them. Patch NOW LiteLLM: v1.107.0 on PyPI and Docker is BACKDOORED. Steals cloud, SSH, and AI credentials. Pin 1.106.2. Rotate secrets. eMudhra: A certificate authority's keys were crackable. Update your browsers, systems, and trust stores. Node.js / Next.js / React: Security releases for Brotli RCE, TLS bypasses, and TWO critical Next.js RCEs. TiDB Cloud: PingCAP breached through stolen credentials. Customer information and other sensitive data exfiltrated. Read the attacker's release, fun stuff. Plex2Shell: Weaponized within HOURS of the PoC. Attackers already deploying cryptominers and proxy backdoors. BeyondTrust / Ivanti: Actively exploited zero-days added to CISA's KEV catalog. BeyondTrust attacks linked to a China-nexus campaign. And that's not even the full list. Patch. Audit. Rotate. NOW.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

You know, for Graves it was probably the death he wanted. Dying on a mission alongside his boys. I just know, if he‘d ever go out in the field, he‘d want to go out like this. Even tho it felt rushed and I’d much rather have him be alive, I also know he died doing what he loved.

Closed source is dead. REA lets Claude Code or Codex take apart any app, all the way down to the binary, and explain exactly how a feature works. - Native apps, Electron apps, websites, APKs, firmware, even smart contract bytecode - Shows the evidence for every claim - Then builds its own version of the feature 25,000+ GitHub stars in a single day. 100% open-source. github.com/morluto/rea
