Local file exposure #vulnerability in linux kernels (CVE-2026-46333):
github.com/0xdeadbeefnetwork/s…
Apparently this issue was already identified in 2020 but wasn't fixed back then.
Mitigation:
- runtime:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2
- To make the mitigation persistent:
echo "kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2" | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/01-harden-ptrace.conf
WARNING: This mitigation may break existing functionality. Test before deploying.
WARNING 2: While this mitigation does block the currently existing PoC, it may not prevent other attack vectors exploiting this vulnerability.

Well, the new Google ReCaptcha is awful, sheesh

Goodbye last 10 years of phishing awareness, time to scan random QRs without a thought while you are purchasing things, woo! Seriously what were they thinking?
And because it's recommended to be put in "high risk" places, people will expect them to be seen there, and so a scam/phishing QR will be so much easier to slip in.
