🚨 SolarWinds, the gift that keeps on giving: a new Web Help Desk patch bypass, CVE-2025-26399, enables unauthenticated RCE via deserialization.
It’s a patch bypass of CVE-2024-28988/CVE-2024-28986 - previously exploited.
Given SolarWinds’ past, in-the-wild exploitation is highly likely. Patch now.

Help, I need a code signing certificate that won't bankrupt me.
Three years ago, I paid $100 for a three-year code signing certificate. I've signed all my open-source projects' releases with it. Now that it's renewal time, Certera (SignMyCode.com) wants almost $700 for the same three-year certificate (excluding the mandatory HSM purchase, which I am totally on board with).
I write silly C and PowerShell code, and I timestamp my signatures so that they're perpetually valid. My PowerShell Gallery stuff, as well as binaries of aprs-weather-submit on Windows and macOS, are all signed and hashed (but not notarized by Apple, because that's another $99 a year for something that feels done unless Bob Bruninga's followers are thinking about APRS 2.0).
If I can't find a solution, anything I write or update in the future will have to be released as unsigned unless I half-ass something (like the Notepad++ developer using self-signed certs -- semi-dangerously clever). $100 every three years, fine. $700 every three years, and I'll do it if my three fans click my Buy Me A Coffee link over and over.
Is there any CA out there that will offer open-source, not-for-profit developers like me a chance to get globally-trusted code signing certificates? I don't think SigStore ever took off (sadly), and even if it did, I don't think it's part of the Microsoft Authenticode program.

SALLY STRUTHERS: Do you use floats? Sure. We all do. But did you know a + b + c ≠ c + b + a with many floats? No. Well, neither did I, but with this one PDF you can become a fount of floating-point foibles to impress and depress your colleagues around the water cooler. Isn't this fun?
