Your Inertia pages can now update themselves in real time. ⚡️ Mark a prop as live and connect it to a broadcast event. Whenever that event fires, Inertia refreshes just that prop, without polling. Perfect for order statuses, unread counts and dashboards.

So @Ubuntu still hasn't patched this open hole on any Ubuntu server on the public internet that lets anyone take it over We might just have to switch all our servers over to Debian in this new post-AGI time of rapid cybersecurity hacks which require just as rapid patching Slowpokes will be left behind chalmovsky.com/posts/wtf-ubu…
This is why I said you want your VPS ports all closed Then only let it be accessible inside your Tailscale for SSH and via a Cloudflare Tunnel to receive web traffic Any Linux box can be taken over with just a single TCP port exposed to the internet now A stop gap is disabling MPTCP on your VPS now but even better is not having any public ports exposed!

Hard to overstate how big of a deal this is. tl;dr — ANY unpatched Linux server with even a single TCP port exposed to the internet (say for HTTP or SSH) and MPTCP active (default for many Go web servers) is vulnerable to complete takeover.

If you updated PHP versions 5.6, 7.0 or 7.1 from Ondřej's repo on Wednesday, consider another upgrade ASAP: the package update from last night fixes a few more multipart-upload fixes 🚨 $ apt update $ apt upgrade And errr ... consider moving to PHP 8.x 😬

62K people saw "PHP 8.5.12 security patch is incomplete." Fewer read the bottom of his own screenshot: both PHP2Shell CVEs are genuinely fixed. The claim is about three other paths that may still work on 8.5.12. He says it needs validation, and PHP hasn't confirmed anything yet. It has happened before. In 2012 PHP had to ship a second fix after its first patch for a critical PHP-CGI bug didn't hold. So don't roll back. Patch now and watch for the next release.
Leaving this here, PHP 8.5.12 security patch is incomplete. ( needs further validation )
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The PHP 8.5.12 release fixes the two specific CVEs (via state/bailout changes) detailed in official advisories; referenced "surviving paths" (e.g. var_destroy UAF) are separate pre-existing unserialize issues unrelated to this patch. php.net/archive/2026.p… github.com/php/php-src/se… github.com/php/php-src/se… github.com/dinosn/php-8.5…

Critical PHP vulnerabilities to be disclosed tomorrow: php.net/archive/2026.php. We're working directly with the PHP Foundation to get patched PHP versions into our base images for Laravel Cloud, Forge, and Vapor ASAP. You may need to redeploy your apps at that time to use these patched versions, but we're also working on the ability to silently patch applications without needing a redeployment. All customers have been emailed and we will be providing further updates via email as the situation evolves.

I found a CRITICAL auth bypass in Laravel 🚨 (9.2/10) On MySQL/MariaDB, Laravel's token API guard let an unauthenticated attacker log in as an existing victim user. Patched in 12.68.0 & 13.29.0. Thanks to the @laravel team & @taylorotwell for the fast fix 🙏 More info 👇

We're adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code. Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md. You can toggle this behavior in /config.

Roy Lee Explains Why Getting Rich Is Painfully Simple in 2026 “This is the single best time in all of human history to start a company. So keep trying.” “Even if your first eight companies fail and make you zero dollars, your ninth company might make you a millionaire. And in this world, you only have to get rich one time.”
