An unauthenticated attacker can bypass an authorization check in Adobe Commerce and Magento to read or alter sensitive data, no login or user action needed, and it’s already being exploited.
Two things live here.
Advisories — a running brief on the vulnerabilities that matter to people running network and edge infrastructure. Every CISA KEV addition, plus critical flaws in firewalls, VPN gateways, routers and management planes. What it is, what to do about it, and what to tell your leadership — in that order. Sources and the checks every post passes are set out in the methodology.
The workshop — longer write-ups from a home lab: virtualisation, self-hosted AI image and speech generation, build automation, and the things that broke on the way. Slower, and considerably less urgent.
Latest advisories
WSO2 Multiple Products Path Traversal Vulnerability
A flaw in how WSO2’s API gateway and control plane products validate JWT signing algorithms lets an attacker forge a token and walk in as an administrator, no login required.
Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator Improper Input Validation Vulnerability
An unauthenticated attacker can reach on-prem VeloCloud Orchestrator over the network and gain privileged access to the host, putting the whole SD-WAN management plane at risk.
Check Point Multiple Products Improper Certificate Validation Vulnerability
A flawed certificate check during VPN handshakes on Check Point Security Gateway and Spark Firewall lets an unauthenticated attacker on the network run arbitrary code on the Gateway itself.
Check Point Multiple Products Path Traversal Vulnerability
An unauthenticated attacker can abuse a directory traversal flaw in Check Point’s management servers and SmartEvent to upload and run arbitrary scripts, with no login or user action required.
F5 BIG-IP APM Heap-based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
An unauthenticated, network-reachable heap overflow in BIG-IP APM lets attackers achieve remote code execution on any virtual server combining an access policy with an OAuth profile.
From the workshop
Three AI reviews of the same project, and where they disagreed
I gave three AI models the same data about a project of mine and asked each, separately, why it was not growing. The consensus turned out to be the least useful part.
Auditing a homelab after it breaks: what the documentation got wrong
After a failure I went through my own infrastructure line by line and compared it to my notes. Six things were wrong, and all six were wrong in the same direction.
Proxmox on a second-hand workstation
Why an old dual-socket workstation beats a mini PC for a home hypervisor, and the three decisions that determine whether the thing is still running in a year.
