We reproduced CVE-2026-109618/109619 in an isolated lab on fully updated Ubuntu 24.04 & 26.04 — the exact php8.3/php8.5 packages USN-8948-1 lists as fixed (8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.13, 8.5.4-0ubuntu1.5). With the documented preconditions. #php2shell

I redid the test with the same result. Still hope I have made some stupid mistake :-(

Lab-tested CVE-2026-109618/619 (PHP session.upload_progress). The patch fixes the CVEs — but the public PoCs use different code paths and still give RCE as www-data on patched Ubuntu 24.04/26.04, under preconditions. Patch *and* set session.upload_progress=Off. #php2shell

‼️🚨 BREAKING: Another researcher skipped coordinated disclosure entirely and dropped a critical 1-click GitHub token theft in public because he doesn't want to deal with MSRC. In his own words: "I really don't want to deal with MSRC on VSCode bugs." The bug: just clicking a link can hand an attacker a GitHub token that reads AND writes to all your repos, including private ones. It lives in github[.]dev, GitHub's browser-based VSCode editor, which passes the browser an OAuth token that isn't scoped to a single repo. That token can touch everything you can. Researcher Ammar Askar found that VSCode's sandboxed "webviews" leak keyboard events to the main editor. A malicious repo opened via one link can simulate keystrokes, install a local extension that skips VSCode's publisher-trust check, and exfiltrate your token. He published a working proof-of-concept. He says when he reports github[.]dev bugs, GitHub tells him they're out of scope and to go report to MSRC, and a prior VSCode bug he reported was silently fixed with no credit. One commenter summed up the mood: "MSRC has turned into Feedback Hub."

Excited to disclose my research allowing RCE in Kubernetes It allows running arbitrary commands in EVERY pod in a cluster using a commonly granted "read only" RBAC permission. This is not logged and and allows for trivial Pod breakout. Unfortunately, this will NOT be patched.

I have used claudecode the recent days to try to fill a gap in the linux/oss ecosystem. Linmon - inspired by sysmon for Windows I have made a monitoring system for Linux. eBPF based - working on Ubuntu/RHEL/Rocky github.com/espegro/linmon
