Fun react bug, (CVE-2025-55183) if you have a server side component and it explicitly or implicitly exposes a stringified argument you can get the source code for that function. Also found DoS, but reported it to vercel instead of meta and some else reported the next day 🙃

Has anyone actually seen a fully working PoC in the wild for the PHP vuln? Finding the UAFs is fast, but you still need things like info leak to get it to exec and I dont see anyone posts that include it, just tons of llms that are just reading proc/other ways to manage layout

Love that people arent even bothering to rewrite AI slop, just screenshot and go, who needs to validate findings anymore. Security needs to have PoCs that rm -rf / again to bring back some critical reviews.

I, for one, consider 4 a perfectly fine integer between 1 and 39402006196394479212279040100143613805079739270465446667946905279627659399113263569398956308152294913554433653942642

Wow, what a hire
A lil personal news: Yesterday I started working at OpenAI on the cyber research team. I'm really excited to join this team of brilliant researchers and work on problems that feel really important and meaningful to me. Let the next chapter begin! 🥳🩷

it's very easy for people to create piles of plausible-looking slop and call it a PoC someone out there has figured out the PHP RCE (CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619), but it might not be the person whose code you're retweeting sight unseen

Small amount of graph crime with those y-axis numbers, but otherwise interesting to remember that this is happening everywhere
To give an indication of the problem here's a chart of 12 government agencies around the world and numbers of applications / appeals / complaints etc... The dotted grey line is when ChatGPT was invented.

Just found out about recency bias. Maybe the most important bias ever
