Issue no. 42 · The security zine
Security is all about context.
Practical security thinking for systems that increasingly write, deploy, and operate themselves. Fewer buzzwords. Better evidence. Occasional memes.

Known-exploited vulnerabilities are in the wild. Patch like it is raining.

Advisory desk
Known exploitation already skipped the prioritization meeting.
Red Hat CRI-O
CRI-O's container checkpoint/restore feature validates restore metadata insufficiently, so a privileged user restoring from crafted checkpoint content can perform unintended operations on the host filesystem. The feature is not enabled by default.
Kamailio Kamailio
Kamailio's CDP Diameter receiver has a heap-based buffer overflow in shm_malloc that can be triggered remotely with a crafted message. A public exploit exists. Fixed in 6.0.8 with upstream patch commits available for other branches.
libexpat Expat
Expat through 2.8.4 fails to validate low surrogates after high surrogates in UTF-16 input, letting lone high surrogates swallow following code units and hide markup from the parser. Fixed upstream via PR #1282.
Live demo · try it right here
Find leaked secrets without leaking them.
Paste code, config, or logs below. 112 detectors run entirely in your browser and return redacted findings, reasoned risk scores, and rotation guidance. Nothing uploads. Nothing phones home.
Inspect source material
No upload step exists. Files are read by your browser, scanned in memory, and discarded when the tab closes.
Findings
Ready when you are.
Add source material on the left. Results are pattern matches, not proof that a credential is active.
Latest transmissions
For the work after the scanner finishes yelling.
A field guide to agentic vulnerability management (with an actual off switch)
A practical operating model for introducing agents without confusing automation, authority, and accountability.
Finding vulnerabilities is getting cheaper. The backlog has noticed.
AI compresses the cost of discovery, but the expensive parts of vulnerability management still begin after the finding exists.
The vulnerability ticket is an interface, not a filing cabinet
A useful vulnerability record should help an owner decide and act—not merely preserve scanner output.
