Campfire is a free, open-source, self-hosted tool that runs Claude Code, Codex, Goose, Aider and OpenHands side by side in one browser tab. Each agent gets its own git worktree, with permission voting (30 second timer, majority rules), session replay, cross-backend agent races and a shared semantic memory layer. Installs with bunx the-campfire. The post also compares Clawboo, Conductor, Vibe Kanban and Crystl.

The injected JavaScript loader adds an SSH key labeled svc-telemetry, opens a reverse SSH tunnel and sets up persistence on macOS, Linux and Windows. The post gives cleanup steps, IOCs and Defender XDR hunting queries. VS Code Marketplace and npm were not affected.

Was I wrong about open models & cyber risks?Interconnects post in which Nathan Lambert revisits his claim that an open-weight Claude Mythos would have been survivable. He argues GLM-5.3 already crosses the capability threshold with little visible societal change, and quotes Rob Wiblin, Anthropic and Zvi Mowshowitz as examples of exaggerated warnings. He cites Epoch AI's Firefox exploit built with GLM-5.3, and treats the recent vulnerability surge as an ecosystem trend driven by AI capability and diffusion, not open versus closed models.

Trezor Warns CryptoBilis Buyers After Report of Hardware Implant in Safe 5Trezor warned buyers of its wallets from reseller CryptoBilis (March 2026 onward) to move funds, after an Indonesian customer reported a hardware implant in a Safe 5 bought in August 2026. The report describes a board with a cellular module between mainboard and screen that reads the wallet backup and sends it over a mobile network. Trezor has not yet examined the device. It found no tampering in four other CryptoBilis units.

Max-Severity GitLab Vulnerability Exploited Against Alpine LinuxCVE-2026-97229 is a CVSS 10 code execution flaw in Onigmo, Ruby's regular expression engine, reachable through crafted CI/CD configuration in GitLab. Attackers used it against Alpine Linux's GitLab on 20 and 21 October 2026 and failed; Alpine rebuilt the instance and found no tampering with aports or packages. Self-managed installs with their own Ruby need Ruby 3.3.13, 3.4.12 or 4.0.9, not just GitLab 19.3.6. CISA added it to KEV.

TeamViewer Flaw Could Let Malicious Hosts Take Over Support Technicians’ MachinesCVE-2026-111585 (CVSS 8.8) is an integer overflow in the remote-control screen processing of TeamViewer clients on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. A malicious or compromised host can announce an oversized screen surface (for example 32768 by 32768 at 32 bpp), forcing a software decode path and an out-of-bounds write that crashes the viewer or runs code. Remedio's research shows a pointer overwrite routed to WinExec. Version 15.83 fixes it, along with CVE-2026-92372, CVE-2026-92374 and six local privilege escalation bugs.

On the Fundamental Limits of Prefill-Based Decoding Length PredictionThis paper derives bounds on predicting an LLM's decode length from prefill-phase hidden states, a primitive for inference scheduling. It models decoding as a stopped stochastic process, giving per-prompt normality and an affine variance law σ=αμ+b. Predictors (MLP, EGTP, FiLM, soft-label, Mixture-of-Experts) converge near the bound, so system error dominates model error. It proposes fixing model, data and sampling in benchmarks and reporting relative-error metrics.

Cross-domain performance depends only weakly on source data scale, and distribution and coverage diversity reduce domain gaps more.
