Attackers keep finding new keys. The funny part is that defenders keep inventing where to store them. This week, those keys sit in AI tools, exposed services, old bugs, weak logins, and software sold like a monthly subscription. Some attacks use new tricks. Others just reuse what was already lying around. Both work often enough. So the threat …

Nuxt OG Image generates OG Images with Vue templates in Nuxt. From 6.0.2 until 6.7.0, nuxt-og-image exposes the unauthenticated /_og/d/** route when the documented defaults security.strict = false and security.secret = "" are used, and base64url-decodes the fonts parameter through decodeOgImageParams. Attacker-controlled fonts[].path values flow…

InternLM LMDeploy through 0.17.0 contains a reachable assertion vulnerability in the DistServe decode migration loop that allows unauthenticated attackers to terminate the inference engine. Attackers can submit a migration_request with an empty remote_block_ids list to trigger an AssertionError that crashes the engine loop and causes subsequent …

SGLang through 0.5.19 in prefill/decode disaggregation mode contains an unauthenticated PUT /route endpoint on the prefill bootstrap service that allows attackers to poison the KV transfer routing table.
