Microsoft wants EDR out of the Windows kernel. We checked the binaries They even come with public symbols. Full write-up from @zodiacon : go.es.io/4zcdL2U Microsoft's answer is the Windows Endpoint Security Platform (WESP). It's undocumented, but it already ships in Windows Insider builds. What we found: • wesp.sys: a Microsoft-built file system mini-filter at altitude 329500 • EspFilterPort: the filter communication port it uses to reach user mode • espclient.dll: 120 Esp* exports for rules, filters and event queues

🚨 BREAKING: Hackers are BYPASSING Microsoft 365 MFA, hijacking corporate accounts, and secretly replacing victims' authentication methods to maintain access. 97 accounts compromised across 79 organizations. In some cases, attackers took over sessions in just 12 MINUTES. And now, researchers have separately exposed a critical flaw in Microsoft Authenticator that allowed malicious apps to steal login tokens with ZERO permissions. Microsoft's authentication security is facing two serious threats, and one is already being exploited in the wild. Here's what's happening: 🔴 1. MICROSOFT 365 ACCOUNTS HIJACKED IN THE WILD Cybersecurity researchers at Huntress uncovered a widespread token-replay attack campaign targeting Microsoft 365. The numbers are alarming: → 200,000+ failed login attempts observed. → 497 successful sign-in events. → 97 compromised accounts across 79 organizations. → 48 rogue devices registered inside Microsoft Entra environments. → 19 organizations had victims' MFA methods removed and replaced. Attackers used sophisticated phishing techniques to capture legitimate authentication tokens AFTER victims completed MFA. They then replayed those tokens to access Microsoft 365 without another authentication challenge. But it gets worse. Once inside, attackers registered their OWN authenticator apps and devices to maintain persistent access. They also created hidden email rules to intercept or delete messages involving payroll, banking, and direct deposits. In one case, attackers hijacked a session just 12 MINUTES after the victim reached the MFA prompt and registered their own authenticator less than an hour later. Changing your password alone may NOT remove the attacker. 🔴 2. CRITICAL MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR TOKEN THEFT FLAW In a separate discovery, researchers at Enclave exposed CVE-2026-80097 (CVSS 8.6), a vulnerability allowing malicious Android apps to steal Microsoft authentication tokens. → ZERO Android permissions required. → No password required. → No additional MFA prompt. → Malicious apps could impersonate Microsoft Teams. → Stolen tokens could provide access to corporate email, files, calendars, and sensitive account functionality. The underlying flaw? Microsoft Authenticator trusted an application's claimed identity without properly verifying the actual caller. Microsoft has since patched this vulnerability. These are TWO separate security issues, with no confirmed connection between them. But they expose the same dangerous reality: 🚨 MFA ALONE IS NO LONGER ENOUGH TO STOP ATTACKERS WHO CAN STEAL OR REPLAY AUTHENTICATION TOKENS. And businesses relying entirely on MFA for protection may have a serious blind spot. 🛡️ IS YOUR BUSINESS EXPOSED?

NEARLY 1 OUT OF 3 (60,000 EMPLOYEES) AT MICROSOFT BEING OFFERED VOLUNTARY TERMINATION Emails should be going out any minute to those receiving the offer. Absolutely insane.
$MSFT offers 60,000 employees a voluntary exit. 60K Y’all!! First time this has ever been offered at Microsoft and it will affect employees in India, The United States, Canada, and the UK at level 70 or below… Employees find out in a few hours if they are being targeted for this. This just makes me think that H127 layoffs sound intense. Is this a pre-layoff round? Also makes me wonder if they changed some scheduled layoffs due to be called out by @VP. Peace offering? 🤔 Timing is just interesting. More to come.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 🚨 American Medical Doctor in Chicago is blowing the whistle on a new practice that’s taking place It’s called “close your eyes and immunize.” He says it’s becoming very common to vaccinate children when they go under anesthesia WITHOUT PARENT CONSENT often times because the parents are signing to do what’s best for the child under anesthesia, but doctors are now including vaccinations as necessary Again, you take your child in for a surgery, sign the paper saying to do what’s best for your child, the hospitals are now using that consent to vaccinate your kids without your knowledge. Including with the COVID vaccine “I'm a family doctor who practices in the suburbs and the city of Chicago. I wanted to offer some practical advice tonight to those of you who, like me, might be angry and very concerned about the news reports detailing the rise of what one hospital is calling, close your eyes, we'll immunize. This is a growing practice, perhaps pioneered at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, but something that's been around longer than the powers that be would like us to know, where children are undergoing elective and emergency medical surgeries and being immunized while they're away from their parents in the operating room” “Parents have often given consent unknowingly or under duress for these vaccinations to be performed. And one of the things that's clear from the reports is that informed consent, which should be one of the hallmarks of medical ethics and practice today, is rarely being provided to the extent that it should be” “Flu shot seems to be the most popular thing to administer, but RSV, COVID, and some other things are now being administered without the parents knowing while their child is in the hospital. So imagine you take your child to the hospital because they have terrible belly pain. Turns out they have appendicitis and any of appendix taken out. You sign a form saying that the surgeon and the medical team can do whatever they think is necessary to help your child. You didn't know your child's getting a flu shot 15 minutes later before the first incision is made” Okay this is CRIMINAL in my opinion so I did my own research and found out what states this is happening in, Pennsylvania at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia . Official “Close Your Eyes, We’ll Immunize” program running since 2023. It gave 2,054 influenza vaccine doses in the 2025–2026 season to children already under sedation anesthesia Colorado at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Offers influenza vaccine under general anesthesia to eligible patients since 2020. More than 18,000 patients have received it. Additional vaccines are sometimes given at the request of a primary care clinician Illinois at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and its ambulatory surgery centers. Offers flu shots under anesthesia for eligible patients age 6 months and older during scheduled surgeries and procedures California at Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center in Northern California. First KP facility in the region to offer flu shots to pediatric surgical patients ages 6 months–18 while under anesthesia for planned procedures

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 9: THE BIG PICTURE 🚨 Sunday is a day of rest. Today I took a step back and asked, "where is all this money coming from?" I'm too tired to type an actual summary. TL;DR: billions have been invested in restructuring American governance since Trump was elected. Many have warned of a color revolution because they saw the civil society apparatus (aka, having millions of people on standby to break stuff) being built in real time. What makes 2026 different is that it's the first time we know of that we found an operational, short-term plan to actually do a coup. Everything we've covered has been from the R2T NGO, which serves as a recording/coordinating platform of sorts for several key NGOs including the one consisting of 300 ex-USAID employees, RAD. It's well documented in several previous drops that RAD has a tight relationship with the "Blocking" lane, now unified under the United Democracy Alliance (UDA) umbrella led by Horizons Project. I researched the "big picture" of how UDA relates to bigger players, so to speak. This sets up the stage for later, much more consequential drops. I think the video covers it pretty well...

¿Por qué no tenemos aun un apolalipsis PHP? ¿Por qué con mil millones de webs con PHP, tras 4 días no está saltando medio mundo por los aires? Alguno dirá que es porque hemos aplicado parches, cierto, muchos lo hemos hecho, pero muchos no lo han hecho ni lo harán, hay millones de sistemas vulnerables por el mundo y los delincuentes no dan nunca segundas oportunidades, los que lidiamos a diario con esto sabemos que como te descuides con una actualización de un simple plugin de WordPress acabas con cientos, miles o millones de webs comprometidas y con persistencia instalada. Aquí está pasando algo más complicado y llevo dándole vueltas todo el día, hasta que me acordé del principio de indeterminación de Heisenberg, si cambiamos la física cuántica por procesos de computación, podríamos redactar algo parecido a una "ley de la indeterminación del PHP2Shell" que se podría definir como: "La dificultad de conocer y controlar simultáneamente múltiples propiedades de un proceso remoto". Creo que lo que está pasando es precisamente esto, igual que la ley de indeterminación de Heisenberg desmontó al demonio de Laplace, creo que mi "ley de indeterminación de PHP2Shell" hace inviable que sea explotable, tirando por tierra toda la alarma generada. Si hacemos un análisis de lo que está pasando, parafraseando a Conan Doyle, una vez descartado lo imposible, lo que queda, por improbable que parezca, debe ser la verdad. Lo que está demostrado que puede hacer PHP2Shell: - Provocar corrupción de memoria - Provocar caída de workers - Conseguir RCE en mod_php - Conseguir RCE en PHP-FPM de laboratorio Lo que no se ha demostrado a fecha de hoy: - Que exista un exploit remoto genérico contra PHP-FPM - Explotación exitosa de PHP2Shell en PHP-FPM de producción Después de revisar los análisis publicados hasta hoy, 25 de octubre, al menos todos los que he podido encontrar, tengo indicios sólidos que me permiten afirmar que, no es que sea difícil desarrollar un exploit, sino que existen condiciones que hacen poco menos que imposible explotar PHP2Shell en una instalación "real" de PHP-FPM (casi todas). El 22 de octubre, Sophos comunicó que había observado una explotación exitosa de PHP2Shell contra uno de sus clientes, cinco horas después se retractaron, porque al revisar la telemetría descubrieron que había habido escaneos e intentos fallidos, pero no una intrusión exitosa. En esta rectificación, su propio equipo de investigación ofensiva estaba teniendo dificultades para conseguir un exploit funcional, incluso utilizando IA (1). El 23 de octubre, CrowdStrike publicó (2) que: - No había observado explotación exitosa en sus honeypots ni en entornos reales monitorizados. - No había encontrado un exploit capaz de funcionar de manera generalizada. - Había conseguido reproducir RCE tanto en mod_php como en PHP-FPM, pero en condiciones de laboratorio. - Los exploits requerían adaptaciones específicas de versión, aplicación y entorno. Creo que se ha infravalorando la dificultad de controlar el heap. Para que un exploit multipetición funcione, pueden tener que coincidir varias de estas condiciones: - Alcanzar el código vulnerable - Preparar el estado de memoria adecuado - Provocar la corrupción sin perder el proceso - Conseguir que la siguiente operación alcance el estado corrupto - Sortear ASLR y otras protecciones de memoria - Desviar la ejecución de manera controlada No basta con acertar en la dirección de memoria o con alcanzar el mismo worker, además tiene que sobrevivir un estado de memoria aprovechable y producirse después la secuencia apropiada de operaciones. Si un zend_bailout() interrumpe la inicialización y el worker termina, el estado desaparece, y esto no es especulación mía, Red Hat identifica precisamente ese comportamiento como uno de los motivos por los que PHP-FPM es mucho más difícil de explotar que mod_php (3), eso puede suponer un obstáculo estructural, porque no importa cuántas veces se repita el ataque si el proceso siempre termina antes de alcanzar el punto explotable. En la publicación de CrowdStrike se distinguen dos variables, una relacionada con el contexto de serialización y otra con el estado global de las sesiones. En ambas, un zend_bailout() puede dejar referencias a memoria que posteriormente se liberan. Para explotarlas hay que conseguir que se vuelva a utilizar esa referencia antes de que el estado se restablezca o resulte inservible. No basta con volver al mismo worker (que de por si no es predecible o al menos no fácilmente), además hay que conseguir que las asignaciones posteriores permitan controlar de manera útil la memoria liberada. Y tenemos que añadir a esto el ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), un proceso de protección de las áreas de memoria que cambia cada vez los datos críticos de posición, precisamente para impedir este tipo de ataques, y que PHP usa hace años. También hay que sumarle el asignador de memoria de PHP, las características del binario, el estado de la aplicación y las extensiones cargadas. Es decir, nos falta una pata en todo este proceso, como en el método científico, la reproducibilidad. En un laboratorio puedes fijar la versión exacta de PHP, libc, extensiones, límites de memoria, número de workers y aplicación. También puedes repetir el experimento con un estado inicial conocido y crear así tu PoC (proof of concept), pero en producción y con condiciones imposibles de controlar, entra en juego mi inventada "ley de la indeterminación del PHP2Shell". Creo que hacer un exploit utilizable masivamente con bots de malware es inviable, al menos en instalaciones PHP-FPM, que hoy en día son la mayoría. Seguro que alguno me sacará la intrusión "supuestamente real" contra una entidad gubernamental europea, con ejecución de comandos y movimientos posteriores en la red que publicó Unit 42 (4). Sin embargo, su publicación no demuestra que PHP2Shell fuese el vector inicial ni identifica la SAPI utilizada. Por tanto, no permite afirmar que se haya demostrado una explotación real de PHP2Shell en PHP-FPM. Quiero recordar que casualidad no significa causalidad. Así que volvemos al punto de partida, no hay ni una sola prueba de que se pueda explotar PHP2Shell en un PHP-FPM en producción. Para mi, la hipótesis más sólida es que las vulnerabilidades son reales, pero las formas conocidas de explotarlo no funcionan por la cantidad de variables desconocidas. Creo que todos nos hemos puesto muy nerviosos porque nos hemos acordado al instante de Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228), una vulnerabilidad crítica de ejecución remota de código (RCE) en la biblioteca Java Apache Log4j, que apareció hace 5 años provocando el caos y que a día de hoy se sigue explotando, a pesar de ser de uso bastante restringido. Es el mismo tipo de vulnerabilidad que PHP2Shell, así que de ser igualmente explotable ya tendríamos un apocalipsis, como dije inicialmente, porque afectaría a mil millones de webs. Pero lo cierto es que no ha pasado nada grave, de hecho lo más grave es que sysadmins de muchas administraciones han apagado sus webs PHP, en una demostración de incompetencia que no tiene parangón, porque da igual cual sea el PHP que tienes, a las muy malas haces un backport usando Claude o Codex, lo compilas y listo, pero no apagas la web. Esto si que da miedo, pensar en la cantidad de gente incapaz al mando de infraestructuras que hay a lo largo y ancho del mundo. Así que, en mi desquiciada opinión (ojo que no digo que esté en posesión de la verdad absoluta), creo que PHP2Shell no es ni será explotable en entornos reales, tal vez pueda serlo como un ataque dirigido con mucho esfuerzo, que está por ver, pero no va a ser la pesadilla de Log4Shell ni creo que vayamos a ver un RCE masivo. Y dejo aquí una pregunta, que creo que es la clave de todo esto: ¿Puede alguien demostrar una cadena de RCE reproducible contra un PHP-FPM estándar, con ASLR activado, varios workers, límites de memoria habituales y sin conocer previamente su configuración interna? Yo creo que no, pero acepto opiniones. Los links de referencia: (1) sophos.com/en-us/blog/proof-… (2) crowdstrike.com/en-us/blog/o… (3) access.redhat.com/security/v… (4) unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/…

This paper answers why confident idiots run the world. Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy. It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.” they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception. And the results are wild. participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile. they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence. the paper revealed a brutal paradox: the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain. if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing. this creates a dangerous systemic loop. the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions. meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse. top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else. they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add. we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence. the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't. the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.

a single bug just put every browser, every operating system, and almost every app you use at risk of being hacked the brotli bug vulnerability that openai accidentally found while red-teaming their own systems has now evolved from “node2shell” into something researchers are calling HTTP2Shell, and the blast radius is massive we’re not talking about one library anymore. we’re talking about every major browser, chrome, edge, firefox every operating system including iOS. electron apps like discord, slack, vscode, 1password, notion. image tools, PDF readers, archive software, AI desktop apps, even curl basically if it touches the internet or handles compressed data, it’s probably affected the original CVE-2026-111497 was already bad, pre-auth remote code execution through malicious compressed data but the scope just expanded to cover almost everything you use on a daily basis. fixes aren’t even available for all affected services yet update everything right now. browsers first, then desktop apps, then development tools. if something offers an update today, don’t ask questions, just install it the internet is running on a cracked foundation and the cracks just got a lot bigger
