A newly disclosed flaw involving OpenSSH and musl, dubbed “*sshole,” allows attackers to log in to certain Alpine Linux and other musl-based Linux accounts configured to block password authentication simply by entering an oversized password.
“Oversized” means longer than 256 bytes. Details.
CVE-2026-88771 lets attackers run commands on NetScaler Gateway before anyone signs in. Patching takes time most teams don't have, so the sign-in decision has to move in front of the vulnerable code.
A flaw in Git can let a malicious repository run an attacker's code on a computer that clones it recursively, together with its submodules. The Git project fixed it this week in Git 2.56.1, with matching fixes for the 2.50 through 2.55 series in 2.50.2, 2.51.3, 2.52.1, 2.53.1, 2.54.1 and 2.55.1.
Cloudflare has deployed default web application firewall (WAF) protections for newly disclosed PHP vulnerabilities before public disclosure. The rules use request and response signals to stop exploit attempts and prevent exposed data from reaching attackers.
Microsoft today issued updates to fix more than 1,400 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and other software. Today's epic patch batch dwarfs September's record of nearly 1,000 fixes, which was already about ten times the normal monthly patch load from Redmond.
Cybercrime is getting increasingly sophisticated, and scammers target senior citizens.
Most Australian government entities are running outdated technology – and AI systems may reveal their weaknesses, intentionally or not.
A month’s worth of security breaches in a single day – will things get worse before they improve?
We are launching a PHP Capture the Flag challenge integrated with our Bug Bounty program to test our WAF protections. Security researchers are invited to bypass our defenses and capture the flag to help make the Internet safer.
