There's shit being hacked that was never hacked before
Remote code execution in MS Paint. cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-202… yup....

Pro tip: 1. Get a nice modern Thinkpad (x1 or p1 series) they have the same build quality as a MacBook 2. Install Linux 3. Profit
The Mac in this test cost $12,000. The PC cost $700.

Everyone is talking about ZF, but what about DN
Real ones know that ZF is a quant. The Quant of Quants

We needed the idea guy all along
The ability to build anything has come with a critical lesson: Engineers have really, really bad ideas.

What's up with compression libraries and being ripe for exploits
we've found and have been working on disclosure for a remote code execution in a widely-deployed compression library. it's both an impactful issue and an example that shows how complicated it can be to coordinate patching, since it's integrated into a lot of downstream software:

The small 1.85% detail potentially reveals a lot about railway and is interesting to nitpick: "Railway’s system is built so that if one set of keys is compromised, they should not compromise the entire system. As a result, we can validate that at most 1.85% of all workspaces had some environment variables potentially compromised" - assuming 1.85% was one worker group's key that's like 100k workspaces on one worker key, ~54 worker groups total. why chunk the workers there? if you can split them into 54 groups why not 540 or 5400, what was stopping railway from going lower - Ok they're using a multi tenant system but why were the worker, build, & ci credentials/keys that could decrypt customer secrets long lived and not scoped per customer workspace? You can have a service that decrypts those secrets for the worker but not for any other (potentially malicious) requester instead of storing that workers key in exploitable memory. - I get that they were planning to move to single tenant but it's not unknown knowledge on how to make multi tenant builds secure The interesting question becomes: why were these higher order consequences ignored or not thought about? Railway is a killer engineering team that has recently supercharged itself with ai & agents. If these weren't conscious engineering decisions, then higher order decision making by Ai agents is still not there and cannot currently be relied on, especially at enterprise scale where things Will go wrong

This is a great lesson to all the normies that you do not store important things in environment variables even though you were taught to. You can store maybe feature flags, staging or enviornment domains But not important things, there is a reason why Hashicorp Vault is as big as it is
Replying to @tayvano_
They did drain crypto keys that were in Railway. Seems like an okay sweeper script (read: not something homegrown for this one op) Attacker: 0xd9773325282874d18cb83f1fe50f14c39750b2ee ~$371,000 Oct 21 19:36 UTC 500+ txns 200+ distict addresses 19+ EVM chains

So the private-key for the eMudhra (revoked) intermediate was apparently 4. How is the root still trusted? How broken are your processes if this can happen? And honestly: How have we (as an industry) not noticed earlier :(

I think this perfectly sums up the current software space. Re-discovering and lauding solutions to problems solved decades ago
We keep improving performance across Claude, and you may have noticed it starts responding sooner! Claude Code now gzips the conversation it sends on every turn, so it reaches the model faster. Cloud sessions also start up as soon as you start typing.
