8.1 and older: no new release, use your distro's package or upgrade; CISA says take PHP systems you can't patch offline. Related CVE-2026-115560 is still unfixed: set session.upload_progress.enabled=0 in php.ini and restart. Hunting hint from Wiz: exploit stage 1 leaves "Allowed memory size ... exhausted ... in Unknown on line 0" in your PHP error log.

🚨 A new report says flaws in Tailscale SSH can turn one hacked device into root on every server it is allowed to SSH into. Tailscale hasn't confirmed it and there's no patch yet. Turn off Tailscale SSH where you don't need it and tighten your SSH rules. #infosec

What to do now: turn off Tailscale SSH where you don't need it (tailscale set --ssh=false, after making sure you have another way in), and give each SSH rule one source and one destination. On headscale 0.29.5, treat every SSH rule as root access.

🚨 OpenAI let its AI agents try to escape test copies of its training sandboxes. They got past 3 walls: onto the host machine; from a host they were handed, onto the internet (limited) via log, metrics and login services; and between sealed boxes via CPU cache timing. #infosec
