A few quick notes on the Erlang OTP SSHd RCE (CVE-2025-32433): 1. Cisco confirmed that ConfD and NSO products are affected (ports 830, 2022, and 2024 versus 22) 2. Signatures looking for clear-text channel open and exec calls will miss exploits that deliver the same payloads after the key exchange. 3. If you find a machine in your environment and can't disable the service, running the exploit with the payload `ssh:stop().` will shut down the SSH service temporarily.
Today, Wiz (Woogle?) released an advisory detailing an attack chain they’ve dubbed IngressNightmare, which, if left exposed and unpatched, can be exploited to achieve remote code execution by unauthenticated attackers. The advisory, covering five separate vulnerabilities, was published after a brief embargo period, once the Kubernetes folks got their patches together.

The researchers who found the Next.js middleware vulnerability (CVE-2025-29927) have released the full paper: Notable is that the auth bypass requires the x-middleware-subrequest value to be one of these two forms: middleware:middleware:middleware:middleware:middleware OR src/middleware:src/middleware:src/middleware:src/middleware:src/middleware
Next.js dropped a CVSS 9.1 authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2025-29927) over the weekend. This flaw is trivially exploitable by sending the header `x-middleware-subrequest: true` and causes the request to skip all middleware processing, including any authentication steps. Shodan reports over 300,000 services with the `X-Powered-By: Next.js` header alone. You can find links to the advisory and queries for runZero at:
The worst part of the Unciphered story isn't that accused-rapist Morgan Marquis-Boire was a co-founder and only his alias "Frank Davidson" was known to employees; it is that Eric Michaud co-founded the company with him and conspired to keep the team from knowing about it. Infosec has its pariahs for a reason (Cap'n Crunch, Jacob Applebaum, Morgan Marquis-Boire, and to a lesser degree Christopher Hadnagy): https://archive.ph/IQ7SK

If the NSA[1], GrapheneOS[2], and Apple[3] all believe that rebooting your mobile phone regularly is something that protects your data, you might consider doing it more often. Shortcuts on iOS make this super easy to setup. 1. 2. 3. image
