DBHub, a database MCP server, had a read-only mode bypass in its SQL check. The check treated every `--` as a comment, but MySQL only starts a comment when whitespace follows it. A hidden write statement could therefore still run, and a prompt injection could trigger it. Fixed in version 0.22.6. Replies say enforcement belongs in database grants and that parser tests need to be dialect-specific.

Polymarket's international site was hit on 29 October 2026 when a page-speed monitoring script served from DebugBear's CDN was replaced with a drainer. It hijacked logged-in sessions for about an hour and took $2.7M from 726 wallets via Polymarket's relayer. Scott Helme of Report URI says the CSP allowlisted every domain used and that hash pinning would have blocked the swapped file. Polymarket is repaying $3.9M, and this is its second vendor-script compromise since June.

Trail of Bits post on PHP2Shell, an exploit that gives a shell on MediaWiki, Symfony, Laravel and phpBB. They confirmed it on pre-patch PHP 8.2 to 8.5. An update says it is production-grade: it works with stock php.ini-production, display_errors off, multiple workers, ASLR and load, on ARM64 and x86-64, and reaches root on Apache/mod_php and nginx/php-fpm. No CVE or technical root cause is given.

CTGREP is a compiler-based framework that applies differential analysis across the whole Clang/LLVM compilation chain to find where, how and under which configurations compiler optimizations break constant-time cryptographic code. Applied to seven libraries, three Clang versions, six targets and thousands of configurations, it led to 48 cases fixed with developers. It also identified seven new problematic LLVM passes and bypassed existing compiler-flag mitigations.

Reply on X explaining a Bytecode Alliance advisory for Wasmtime's Cranelift compiler backend. A large or crafted Wasm function that generates enough SSA values overflows Cranelift's value-index representation, which packed indices into 24-bit fields. The fix widens them to 32 bits. The issue is not AArch64-specific, and the advisory names no required optimisation level. Guard pages do not reliably stop the resulting miscompilation and type confusion, so a sandbox escape can arise at compile time.

GitHub Bug Bounty spotlight interview with @r31n, a researcher known for GitHub Enterprise Server findings. They describe a source-and-sink approach to mapping trust boundaries, chaining minor bugs (open redirect plus allowlisted SSRF that follows redirects), and confirming a finding only with a working PoC. They also cover using AI for code navigation and PoC scripts, and treating model output as untrusted input.

patching-bugs is a Trail of Bits plugin for Codex that has an AI agent write a vulnerability fix, prove it works, and check it for regressions. It was built from analysis of thousands of Codex sessions from the Patch the Planet work with OpenAI. The post argues defenders need patch-writing agents to match attackers' bug-hunting agents. It gives no technical detail beyond that.

CVE-2026-113380 (CVSS 9.3) is a flaw in RingRTC, the WebRTC-based library behind Signal voice and video calls. A remote peer can flood the call's finite state machine event queue, so the victim's hang-up waits behind junk and audio and video tracks stay live. Fixed in RingRTC 2.72.0 on 4 September; a researcher published details and a conceptual PoC afterward.
