‼️🚨 Microsoft has patched a critical Windows DNS Client remote code execution vulnerability that allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network. All it takes is a malicious DNS response. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-41096 with a CVSS score of 9.8. It is a heap-based buffer overflow in dnsapi.dll, the Windows component that processes DNS answers on every machine. To trigger it, an attacker needs a position where they can influence DNS responses: a rogue DNS server, a poisoned resolver, a compromised router, hostile WiFi, or a man-in-the-middle placement. That puts ordinary Windows DNS activity in the blast radius. Browsers, VPN clients, enterprise apps, update checks, and background services constantly ask DNS where to connect. The vulnerable processing sits in the Windows DNS Client path, not an edge-facing server product. Microsoft assessed exploitation as "less likely," and Rapid7 lists the issue as not publicly disclosed and not known to be exploited at release. On the contrary, a 9.8 unauthenticated network RCE in DNS client handling is exactly the kind of bug defenders should assume will be reverse-engineered quickly. Defenders should: - Deploy the May 2026 cumulative updates and confirm coverage across endpoints and servers - Restrict DNS traffic to trusted resolvers where possible - Monitor Dnscache and svchost.exe for abnormal child processes or unexpected outbound activity - Treat public WiFi and untrusted resolver paths as higher-risk until patching is complete

Introducing SubQ - a major breakthrough in LLM intelligence. It is the first model built on a fully sub-quadratic sparse-attention architecture (SSA), And the first frontier model with a 12 million token context window which is: - 52x faster than FlashAttention at 1MM tokens - Less than 5% the cost of Opus Transformer-based LLMs waste compute by processing every possible relationship between words (standard attention). Only a small fraction actually matter. @subquadratic finds and focuses only on the ones that do. That's nearly 1,000x less compute and a new way for LLMs to scale.

Big news for Blue Team nerds That nerd who released those Microsoft 0days has created two new repos on GitHub with spooky sounding names indicating they will be releasing two new Windows 0days. Very cool github.com/Nightmare-Eclipse

‼️🚨 Microsoft calls this "intended behaviour," so here we go. How to dump the credentials of every user stored in Microsoft Edge: 1. Open Edge. Don't browse anywhere, just open it. 2. Flip to Task Manager, find Edge, expand the task. 3. Highlight the "browser" sub-task, right-click, and choose "Create Memory Dump." 4. Open the dump file and look for credentials. The logged-in Windows user can dump every stored Edge credential with no additional rights. Which means any malware that user executes has those credentials for the asking.

How many sign-in logging bypasses can Azure Entra ID contain? At least 4.
Who knew a really long string could make an Entra ID login disappear from the logs entirely? In our #blog, @nyxgeek breaks down how overflowing #Azure's sign-in logging mechanism allowed access tokens to be issued without a single log entry. Read it now! hubs.la/Q047xTVc0

🚨 This Python tool just made vector databases optional for RAG. It's called PageIndex. It reads documents the way you do. No embeddings. No chunking. No vector database needed. Here's the problem with normal RAG: It takes your document, cuts it into tiny pieces, turns those pieces into numbers, and searches for the closest match. But closest match doesn't mean best answer. PageIndex works completely different. → It reads your full document → Builds a tree structure like a table of contents → When you ask a question, the AI walks through that tree → It thinks step by step until it finds the exact right section Same way you'd find an answer in a textbook. You don't read every page. You check the chapters, pick the right one, and go straight to the answer. That's exactly what PageIndex teaches AI to do. Here's the wildest part: It scored 98.7% accuracy on FinanceBench. That's a test where AI answers real questions from SEC filings and earnings reports. Most traditional RAG systems can't touch that number. Works with PDFs, markdown, and even raw page images without OCR. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

TotalRecall - Reloaded. Invested some time again into Windows Recall. Microsoft redesigned the entire architecture with VBS enclaves after the original TotalRecall. Took a closer look at the new defenses. This time going through MSRC.

Why yes, yes we can use ESTSAUTH captured from evilginx to automatically register a passkey
Replying to @NathanMcNulty
This is super cool! (just catching up late after the weekend) Is it possible to generate that passkey using the previously captured cookies or tokens, through phishing? (using browser cookies in general)

#SharePoint Online Enumeration Just Got Easier for Red Teamers During assumed breach exercises, or after compromising a user token or credentials, SharePoint Online is often one of the richest data sources in a Microsoft 365 environment. It’s the central repository for an organization’s most sensitive documents, including credential guides, financial reports, HR records, and strategic project plans. There is a new addition to the EvilMist toolkit: #SharePointEnum, a #PowerShell SharePoint Online search and file download tool built for red team operators and penetration testers. --- What It Does SharePointEnum leverages the SharePoint REST Search API to perform full-text keyword searches across all SharePoint document libraries accessible to a compromised identity. Think of it as "grep for SharePoint" during an engagement. Key capabilities: - Full-text search across all SharePoint document libraries. - Faceted Query Language (FQL) for surgical targeting. - Refinement filters by file type, author, date, or site. - File download to disk or Base64-encoded output for C2 exfiltration. - Auto-detection of the SharePoint domain from the Azure session. - Stealth mode with configurable delays, jitter, and throttle handling. - CSV/JSON export with search metadata. --- #BlueTeam Takeaways This tool also has defensive value: - Understand what data is discoverable via the SharePoint Search API with a given identity. - Test DLP policy effectiveness against REST API-based searches. - Validate that token-based access controls and Conditional Access policies are working as expected. - Assess exposure of sensitive documents to broad search queries. If an attacker with a compromised user token can search and download your SharePoint content via REST API, your DLP and access controls need attention.
