Deserialization, reflection, and memory-resident shellcode execution come to mind with PrecodeFixupThunk being the first step of the JIT mechanism (hat-tip to @_xpn_ for weird ways to run unmanaged code in .NET!). Anyone observed this, or have any more specific suggestions?

Are there any funky .NET exploitation techniques that might lead to a crash in clr!PrecodeFixupThunk?

That's another one ticked! Did not go as well as I'd have liked but it was a brutal one today. The heat took a lot of people out. Hope everyone's ok and congrats to the 92k or so marathoners today whether at London or Manchester! #ManchesterMarathon

Apache security team have reviewed and revised this one! CVE-2025-24859 in Apache Roller has been downgraded to CVSS 2.1, panic over ;)

CVE database is becoming a joke TBH, when things like CVE-2025-24859 are published with a CVSS score of 10.0 - To exploit this vulnerability you first need to obtain a valid session token, then you only maintain access to the corresponding user account...

A colleague pointed me today to an insane exploit primitive if you control a PHP include() with a fixed .php extension and no upload: https://t.co/sy9s72KMKT

#lazyweb Anyone know how I can run Android Auto in a VM, with a view to later running it on a Raspberry Pi or similar? Also looking to modify it so open source preferably. Currently building a VM to look at OpenAuto but any pointers would be brill!

@TenableSecurity Tempted to have a pop at some of the competition 🤣 Although I only scratched the surface of the HP Device Manager RMI service, I'd bet there's more to find there.

@TenableSecurity Nessus still says no known exploit for these vulns despite me publishing it and notifying them three years ago 🤣 Wonder how many times this has been reported and wontfixed because "no exploit"! Stable, unauthenticated, no interaction RCE in default config.

Unauthenticated Java RMI service -> SQLi smuggled via HQL injection -> Use SYSTEM privs to overwrite Postgres config -> Reload Postgres config to enable remote connections -> Connect to Postgres with the backdoor account -> Execute SQL -> RCE as SYSTEM. Fuck yeah and g'night! 🤘

Too hot for this. Why no sprinklers or jelly babies this year @Great_Run ?! I reckon I would have run at least 2 minutes faster with those 🤣

@k8em0 Have you ever looked at average hourly rates for bug bounties? Based on the 2019 hacker report from Hackerone (latest data I could find) I see an average between $0.10 and $0.18 an hour. Seems unreasonably low.
