Did anyone got that alleged Vim RCE PoC working? MacOS doesn't seem vulnerable, Ubuntu 22/24, Debian 13, the same... Advisory says <9.2.0272 but doesn't seem like it?

Smells like AI slop hype? Yeah, kinda because most distros don't seem to ship vim with +tabpanel feature. HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Instead of using an LLM to write me some boilerplate and basic functionality, frontend etc, why isn’t there a library where I can find all of these?

You know, something structured and shared, again, like a library, for specific purposes, and specific languages, with educational hints from development pros on the best way to do things and maybe some constructive feedback and improvements from other people?

And why were we left to deal with stackexchange instead?

Could this have been, dare I say it: gatekeeping?

Underrated post

If someone comes to me today preaching about “post-quantum” security issues, I’ll remind them of the current state of security: the npm ecosystem gets abused daily, CI pipelines run left and right with full access to cloud services, so-called security devices like F5 and Ivanti are exposed (and compromised) to the internet, mailboxes get compromised just to change an IBAN in a PDF, and a simple phone call is still enough to get someone to hand over an MFA code.

But yes, by all means, let’s focus on post-quantum threats while handing AI tools SSH access like it’s a feature, not a confession.

This is a big deal. Already seeing evidence of this by way of OpenClaw installations.

I skim through a lot of articles daily and in this age of slop my signal/noise decisions are heavily influenced by whether the piece is being hosted on a custom domain (showing that the author cares enough to maintain one).

A walkthrough on patching Dell UEFI firmware at the SPI flash level to disable pre-boot DMA protection — bypassing the BIOS password entirely. The interesting part: the UEFI UI still reports the setting as enabled, and TPM measured boot doesn't detect the NVRAM change, so BitLocker unlocks normally. The patch also persists through official Dell BIOS updates. From there it's DMAReaper to kill IOMMU + PCILeech for a SYSTEM shell. Significant measured boot policy gap. https://www.mdsec.co.uk/2026/03/disabling-security-features-in-a-locked-bios/

I teach cybersecurity. And I genuinely don't know what to tell my students after this one. Federal reviewers spent years trying to get basic encryption documentation from Microsoft for its GCC High government cloud. They couldn't get it. One reviewer called the system a "pile of spaghetti pies," with data traveling from point A to point B the way you'd get from Chicago to New York: a bus to St. Louis, a ferry to Pittsburgh, and a flight to Newark. Each leg is a potential hijacking. They knew this. They said this out loud in writing. Then they approved it anyway in December 2024, because too many agencies were already using it. 🔐 That's not a security review. That's a hostage negotiation. Two things in this story should make every CISO and CIO uncomfortable:

🧩 Microsoft built its federal cloud on top of decades of legacy code that it apparently can't fully document itself
👮 "Digital escorts" often ex-military with minimal software engineering backgrounds are the firewall between Chinese engineers working on the system and classified U.S. networks 🤦🏻‍♂️

The scariest line in the whole ProPublica investigation isn't the "pile of shit" quote. It's this: FedRAMP determined that refusing authorization wasn't feasible because agencies were already using the product. Read that again. The security review process reached a conclusion based on sunk cost, not risk. Ex Post Facto Fallacy

If that logic holds, the compliance framework is just documentation theater. And right now, CISA is being hollowed out, so there are fewer people left to even run the theater.
