Apparently anyone can vibe code anything these days. So Claude and I tried to make a database for tracking the petty grievances of the masses.
Chaotic Eclipse, the security researcher behind the recently disclosed Windows flaws, YellowKey and GreenPlasma, has released a proof-of-concept (PoC) for a Windows privilege escalation zero-day flaw that grants attackers SYSTEM privileges on fully patched Windows systems. Codenamed MiniPlasma, the vulnerability impacts "cldflt.sys," which refers to the Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver,
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered four new npm packages containing information-stealing malware, one of which is a clone of the Shai-Hulud worm open-sourced by TeamPCP.
