Active Directory Domain Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (CVE-2025-21293) https://birkep.github.io/posts/Windows-LPE/

Old Soviet joke repurposed for 2025:
Several times daily, a woman opens a news website, glances at the screen, then closes it.

Her spouse, curious, asks what she's doing.

The woman explains she's looking for death notices.

The spouse says that the website only has headlines, not obituaries.

The woman replies, "Oh, the obituaries I'm praying for will be headlines."

This time, we discuss a vulnerability in AVG Internet Security, where we bypass an allow-list, disable self-protection, and exploit an update mechanism to escalate privileges to SYSTEM 🚀💻

A very happy birthday to the Sinclair ZX80 released on this day in 1980!

We have released a new NCSC research paper which aims to reduce the presence of 'unforgivable' vulnerabilities - in it we present a method to assess 'forgivable' vs 'unforgivable' vulnerabilities'.

“Nobody asked for NFTs or the fucking Metaverse. Nobody asked for lying chatbots instead of getting to reach an actual support person that could solve your problems.”

And:“…people are challenging the notion that we all have to do AI now. Because we don’t. It’s a choice. A choice that mostly benefits monopolists.”

I thought the sole gift of DeepSeek would be blowing the charade of massive compute requirements for parlor tricks, but now it looks like the allegations of "intellectual property theft" are also going to blow open the story of massive copyright infringement by OpenAI, Google, etc. 🤣 🍿 🍿 🍿

Following our attempts to contact the casdoor maintainers, we're releasing an advisory regarding their software. This vulnerability allows attackers to exfiltrate data from the identity provider (IdP) or obtain access over SCIM. Details here:

So, is anyone sueing #Microsoft in the #EuropeanUnion already because they are forcing #Copilot on their customers just like how they did with #MicrosoftTeams but this time they are also INCREASING THE PRICE AS WELL?

If not, then why not?!

Version 3.4.0 of the PHP implementation of PASETO has been released!

https://github.com/paragonie/paseto/releases/tag/v3.4.0

Includes PHP 8.4 compatibility and removes internal use of strtok(), which we don't consider a safe function for handling secret keys.

(We pulled 3.3.0 which was an accidental tag of an earlier commit in the master branch.)
