A BioWare dev on reddit leaked a Mass Effect 5 trailer... it's called MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE and it's fucking gorgeous. I'm crying. This is everything I wanted. They were a lot farther than we thought. FUCK EA
I'll be the first to admit I'm mediocre at exploit development, but I am in contact with enough extremely talented exploit developers to say this for certain:
Anyone claiming they were "easily" able to generate a working php2shell exploit with AI is either:
a) a world-class exploit developer with an extreme case of imposter syndrome.
b) currently looking at some very confident-sounding but wrong LLM output.
I'm rather certain it's the latter based on the number of AI-hallucinated exploits I've seen posted on GitHub. Threat actors are also blasting my honeypot network with "php2shell" exploits that not only don't work, but aren't even within 10,000 miles of anything to do with how the exploit actually works.
I've seen the same technique from the attached image in multiple alleged "php2shell exploits", including one on GitHub with over 100 stars. Problem is, it's not php2shell, nor is it even a vulnerability at all. It's a technique known as "session poisoning", which can be leveraged to exploit local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities in PHP apps (not PHP itself).
The only thing it has in common with CVE-2026-109618/CVE-2026-109619 is they both use the "PHP_SESSION_UPLOAD_PROGRESS" feature. And mitigation advice for both issues reference setting "session.upload_progress.enabled" to "Off".
People are shoving loose details of the vulnerability into LLMs, the LLMs are keying in on the "PHP_SESSION_UPLOAD_PROGRESS" string, then generating session poisoning code that has nothing to do with the actual CVE. And because the people doing this have absolutely no idea what they're doing, they're confident enough to post their "proof of concept exploit" to GitHub and share it on social media.
So if you see people talking about "session poisoning + LFI" it's likely their LLM hallucinated an exploit based on a 2018 blog by Orange Tsai talking about a local file inclusion attack vector.
What's even worse is that "security researchers" are then using LLMs to triage these exploitation attempts, falling victim to the same hallucinations, then confirming there is ongoing mass-exploitation (there currently isn't).
The actual real exploit is very difficult to exploit, and so far I've not seen anyone successfully get it working on more than a handful of PHP version with highly-specific configurations.
LLMs are useful tools in the hands of skilled professionals, but for others, they're often just a Dunning-Kruger accelerator.
So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and https://t.co/QlOXb3COq3 went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.
wake up babe, every version of PHP for the past 17 years has two critical bugs and now 74.5% of the internet is broken lol. there's a patch coming out tomorrow but until then most of the internet has open backdoors that allow unauthorized remote code execution

decompdev, a website created to track video game decompilation projects and connect the community, is being shut down.
The creator has stopped people from adding new projects because of a recent flood of what they call “vibe coded” decompilations and native ports.
Basically, too many projects were being submitted that rely heavily on AI-generated code rather than genuine reverse-engineering work. This made it harder to keep the site useful and trustworthy.
decompdev was meant to be a central place to see which games were being decompiled, how much progress had been made, and who was working on them.
PS5 can now make original PS2 discs feel almost like native games.
The PS5SX2 emulator has been updated so a jailbroken PS5 can automatically detect compatible PS2 DVDs and add a game tile directly to the console’s home screen, complete with the game’s cover art.
The latest version, PS5SX2 2.10, also adds a “Reload PS2 Disc” option if the disc isn’t detected correctly.
• Physical PS2 DVD support
• Automatic disc detection
• PS2 games appear on the PS5 home screen
• Game covers are displayed automatically
• Requires a jailbroken PS5
• Requires a legally obtained PS2 BIOS and additional homebrew components
The feature has only been tested on a limited number of PS5 consoles
The developer recommends ejecting discs before shutting down to avoid potential kernel panics
playstation has no limits
Colonel Sanders sold KFC for 2 million dollars. Years later, a KFC franchisee sued him for libel. He had called the gravy wallpaper paste.
In the video below, the day after KFC changed hands again in 1971, a reporter asks him if he feels left out.
At 73, with nobody to take over, he sold it to a group led by John Y. Brown Jr. for 2 million dollars and a salary for life. His contract made him the company's quality controller and its trademark.
In 1971 Brown sold the company to Heublein for 285 million. Sanders stayed on the payroll.
So he did his job. He walked into the kitchens and said what he thought. The gravy was wallpaper paste. The new crispy chicken was "a damn fried doughball stuck on some chicken." The franchisee who sued him for libel lost.
When he and his wife opened their own restaurant, Heublein sued him too. He sued back for 122 million dollars, saying they were misusing his image. Heublein settled and paid him 1 million.
His face on every bucket. His words in a lawsuit.
They wanted his face on the bucket. They didn't want his opinion of what was inside it.
Was Colonel Sanders a stubborn old man who couldn't let go of his recipe, or did the people who bought it simply want his face without his voice?
