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
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

Okay, since the news is already out: an RCE vulnerability in PHP core, CVSS 10.0. Further details are scheduled for release on October 20. Only PHP 8 will receive patches.

‼️🚨 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."

'The incident began from June 2025. Multiple independaent security researchers have assessed that the threat acotor is likely a Chinese state-sponsored group, which would explain the highly selective targeting obseved during the campaign.'

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
