It seems after burning God knows how much money and CO2, OpenAI decided that *maybe* if you want to have anything close to "intelligence" you'll need some reasoning. Can't wait to see how they scale against this problem!

This is cool. We ported parts of the Windows MDM stack (used by Intune) to Linux!! Now you can use it to EASILY control the configuration and security posture of Linux VMs in Azure.

Microsoft is building new Windows security features to prevent another CrowdStrike https://trib.al/otEVx6r

Some exploits are just three curl commands in a trench coat.

@Viss brilliant!

I FOUND IT.
it took nearly four hours, but i found it.

thank you for coming along with me into the mines of my twitter archive to find this gif. dropbox deleted this, and many others when they 'just decided' to delete all locally stored files, making all the stuff you had exist only in the cloud.

i fired them for this, and replaced them with synology drive, that I sync over wireguard.

Mozilla, reading the room extremely well, seemingly just recently flipped the switch to enable-by-default sponsored weather results from AccuWeather in every new Firefox tab you open. Clicking "Learn more" takes you here, with zero information on if your location is sent to AccuWeather every time you open a new tab: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-items-on-firefox-new-tab-page

Probably only noticed because I normally have a blank new tab page but this showed up after updating Firefox!

CISA: Vulnerability Summary for the Week of September 2, 2024
Sometimes I check the summary for hidden gems. This time, five of the Mozilla Firefox CVEs are CVSSv3.1: 9.8 critical

• CVE-2024-8381 type confusion
• CVE-2024-8384 memory corruption
• CVE-2024-8385 type confusion
• CVE-2024-8387 memory corruption
• CVE-2024-8389 memory corruption

At a glance, they're obviously high severity. It's just that you won't have that sense of urgency at the time of announcement because you didn't see the CVSS score, or understand the impact.

Let's not forget to mention Hall of Shame Progress Software for having LoadMaster vulnerability CVE-2024-7591 with a perfect 10.0 🥳

In part 2 of his #Exchange series, @chudypb describes the ApprovedApplicationCollection gadget. He also covers a path traversal in the Windows utility extrac32.exe, which allowed him to complete the chain for a full RCE in Exchange and remains unpatched.
