Volexity caught an attacker chaining zero-days into unauthenticated root on an Ivanti Connect Secure appliance running the latest build. The payload never touched disk, commands rode in over the same HTTPS requests as the exploit, and Ivanti's Integrity Checker reported no modifications.
Gitea 28.3.0 landed November 1 with twenty-one CVE fixes. Read the list and a pattern jumps out: more than half are the same failure repeated across different route handlers, where a token scoped to public data gets handed private data anyway. That's not twenty-one mistakes.
CVE-2026-98432 is a use-after-free in the IPv4 TCP handshake, reachable by anybody who can reach a listening port, sitting in the kernel since 4.4. Red Hat scored it 5.9 moderate and deferred the fix. Then 8.1. Then 9.8.
Node.js 26 hit Long Term Support on October 28 as Lithium, supported through April 2029. Temporal ships enabled with no flag, which is the biggest thing to happen to JavaScript dates since Date was a mistake.
Running a proxy means turning authentication off on every server behind it. BungeeCord's own documentation admits what that costs you, and Velocity's docs are blunt that forwarding is not a substitute for a firewall. Here's the attack, and the exact config that closes it.
PostgreSQL slipped its release for the first time in years, and a core committer's explanation is four words long: LLMs happened. Back-patched commits are up over 60% on the stable branches while master commits went slightly down. Three major features got yanked between August 27 and September 15.
After five years, Stalwart hit its first stable release on October 26 with benchmarks claiming it beats Postfix and Dovecot in 35 of 38 head-to-head tests. Every one of those numbers was produced by the vendor.
Two critical PHP flaws landed October 21 and were in CISA's exploited-vulnerabilities catalog five days later. The 9.2 score isn't the part that should bother you. It's where the bug lives — it goes off while PHP is still assembling $_POST, before a single line of your application has run.
Vaultwarden gives you a Bitwarden-compatible password server in one container and about ten minutes. The defaults that make that possible leave org creation open, audit logging off, accounts on PBKDF2, and a rate limiter that trusts a header anyone can set.
Eight eMudhra intermediate CA keys turned out to be recoverable from their own public certificates. Not stolen — computable, because the key generation produced almost no entropy. A researcher pulled all eight in under a second and signed a message with each one to prove it.
I could spot a nulled forum in about four seconds, and it never stopped being funny. Here's why the copyright line gives it away, what a measured 97% of nulled add-ons actually contain, and why MyBB quietly became the smart choice for everyone who wanted the look without the paper trail.
A Minecraft host has one port that must face the internet and a dozen that must not. The JVM flag that turns your server into a remote shell, the protocol that broadcasts its own password, the SSH default that is actually the problem, and the second computer inside every dedicated box.
