Somebody posted a Windows 11 LPE writeup, with a CVE that doesn't yet exist (CVE-2026-62737).

By poking at kloader's ExecutionContext, we can get kernel mode execution at an arbitrary address.

A stock Windows VM won't have a NIC that uses the NetAdapterCx framework, so will not show as affected. But you can start that service to see it in action.

The PoC has a hard-coded 0xFFFFF80041414141 as an execution target. I'm sure that somebody knowledgeable with Windows kernel stuff can figure out how to modify this to do something useful.

Perhaps CVE-2026-62737 will be included in this Patch Tuesday lineup?

Since Metabase couldn't be bothered, it looks like CISA has assigned CVEs.

• CVE-2026-72898 Metabase SQL injection via password reset endpoint
• CVE-2026-72899 Metabase SQL injection via public card or dashboard
• CVE-2026-72900 Metabase information exposure

come on now. be cool guys.

On Saturday night, one of our CT logs rejected most submissions for 30 minutes.

I just published the post-mortem, and the investigation was... a lot of fun? It involves Go mutex starvation, SQLite WAL behavior, and ZFS record sizes.

I got to SIGKILL a VM 200 times, implement a turnstile (TIL!), and order a Nokia flip phone.

Beatboxing is one of countless very good example why AI will never be able to replace actual art.
Most (if not all) sounds a beatboxer makes can technically be made by a synthesizer. The arrangement can be the same too.
Yet millions and millions of people enjoy beatboxing a lot more, specifically BECAUSE it comes from humans.

I think this principle can be applied to most forms of art.

So I don't think there's too much need to worry.

Happy Monday

Just accidentally spilled some cold water on my tshirt and decided it's actually better this way.

@scottwilson I'm carefully optimistic about markup getting more traction through tools like Obsidian. You'd write content with desired emphasis, then the recipient will get a rendering that fits their theme/other requirements (e.g. high contrast).

r2ghidra 6.2.0 is out, and this time the changelog is massive! the decompiler output has been heavily improved in sync with all the new type analysis information we have in r2-6.2.0 (yeah next release will reduce backward compatibility with r2 apis)

Unfortunately my little art shop is closing down, but that also means everything is 30% off!

If you wanted to snag a piece at some point, or just feel like getting yourself a little something nice to look at, now's the chance

Time for a new thread.

I've made a short blog post outlining the basic techniques of executable emoji, which I have dubbed emojissembly.

https://martypc.blogspot.com/2026/08/executable-emoji.html

I started working on a general COM2EMOJI utility that I might post at some point, but let's face it the chances of me being distracted by some shiny thing in the next 48 hours is quite high.
