#PatchTuesday continues with Zyxel: Zyxel security advisory for command injection and insecure default credentials vulnerabilities in certain legacy DSL CPE
Zyxel's security advisory confirms the existence of CVE-2024-40890, CVE-2024-40891, and CVE-2025-0890 affecting end-of-life DSL CPE products. While they link to GreyNoise's blog post, Zyxel does not acknowledge the fact that CVE-2024-40891 (8.8 high) post-auth command injection is a zero-day being exploited in the wild by a Mirai botnet variant. They reiterate that EoL products don’t receive further support and:

"we strongly recommend that users replace them with newer-generation products for optimal protection."

Note: DSL CPE likely stands for Digital Subscriber Line Customer-Premises Equipment cc: @fellows for more Patch Tuesday Madness.

I enjoy memes and sarcasm more than anyone, but I'd really appreciate a TL;DR for these supply-chain posts of watchTowr...

I mean, their last exploit writeup is estimated a 15mins read, the latest thing is 41 and there isn't even code to explain.

4 February 1917 | A Polish Jewish dancer Franciszka Mann was born. She was most probably the woman who on 23 October 1943, inside the undressing room of gas chamber II at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol, shot him & wounded SS man Wilhelm Emmerich.

Do you want to introduce the fediverse and/or Bluesky to your organization -- in addition to, or instead of, X & Meta?

Through Feb, Mar and Apr, I'll be offering free one-hour sessions on Fridays to talk to your org. For-profit, non-profit, gov, edu, etc. This is not a consultancy; this is volunteer advocacy and support for building our collective independence from X & Meta.

If you are interested, book a slot through this link (starting Feb 7). Time is not movable. :)

New from our team: A PHP implementation of RFC 9180 (HPKE - Hybrid Public-Key Encryption):

https://github.com/paragonie/hpke-php

This should serve as building block for more secure protocols (i.e., RFC 9420 a.k.a. Messaging Layer Security)/

This would, in turn, enable PHP developers to write software that communicates with MLS-compatible end-to-end encrypted messaging services.
