Hostinger deploys protections against php2shell PHP vulnerabilities (opens on the source site)
On October 21, the PHP project fixed two critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, now known as php2shell. Both are rated 9.2 out of 10 on the Common Vulnerab… The post Hostinger deploys protections against php2shell PHP vulnerabilities appeared first on Hostinger Blog.
Cloudflare deploys protections against php2shell vulnerability (opens on the source site)
Cloudflare has deployed default web application firewall (WAF) protections for newly disclosed PHP vulnerabilities before public disclosure. The rules use request and response signals to stop exploit attempts and prevent exposed data from reaching attackers.
Skipped monorepo deployments no longer count against limits (opens on the source site)
Vercel ·
Deployments that Vercel automatically skips in a monorepo no longer count against your deployment rate limits. Teams with monorepos now get more deployments from the same limits. Vercel skips a project's deployment when its source code and internal dependencies haven't changed, using Turborepo's package graph and lockfile analysis to determine which projects a commit affects. Skipping is enabled by default for new monorepo projects. You can turn it on for existing projects under Build and Deployment in the project's settings. Learn more about skipping unaffected projects and deployment…
Beyond the patch: Protecting your NetScaler gateway against future vulnerabilities (opens on the source site)
CVE-2026-88771 lets attackers run commands on NetScaler Gateway before anyone signs in. Patching takes time most teams don't have, so the sign-in decision has to move in front of the vulnerable code.
AI Agent Tool Calling in TypeScript: Guardrails Against Runaway Loops (opens on the source site)
Add bounded retries, execution timeouts, and a best-effort budget guard to your TypeScript AI agent tool-calling loop to stop runaway LLM API loops and token overruns. Continue reading AI Agent Tool Calling in TypeScript: Guardrails Against Runaway Loops on SitePoint.
Benchmarking AI decision models against traditional guardrails (opens on the source site)
Red Hat ·
As enterprise generative AI applications move to production, platform engineers face a key challenge: balancing the flexibility of LLM-as-a-judge guardrails with the reliability and portability of traditional classifiers that require custom training data. The recent emergence of "decision models"—highlighted by TypeSafe AI's recent announcement of Jev and “System One” models—promises a flexible middle ground by producing fixed “decisions” given a state and a list of questions rather than generating text. The post Benchmarking AI decision models against traditional guardrails appeared first on…
RAG Complexity Is a Bet Against the Model (opens on the source site)
One Postgres table with two indexes beat every published RAG pipeline on MuSiQue. Every architectural addition is a bet the model stays weak.
Preventing quantum downgrade attacks against IPsec (opens on the source site)
A sophisticated attacker with a quantum computer can exploit a protocol design flaw to downgrade post-quantum IPsec tunnels to classical crypto. We helped the IETF develop a transcript authentication extension to prevent these attacks.
Trust, but verify: Atomic claim checking against LLM hallucinations (opens on the source site)

Hallucinations kept an LLM out of our knowledge base cleanup for years. Splitting generation from atomic claim verification fixed it and cleared a four-year backlog of duplicate articles.

How Developers Can Test Their Feature Branch Against Various Playwright Configurations Before Creating a Merge Request in GitLab CI/CD (opens on the source site)
Developers need the option to test out their feature branch before merging it into main. In the last section, we set up a GitLab CI/CD Pipeline in our bun-create-playwright project to check every GitLab Merge Request. Now, we will be giving developers option to create a new pipeline where they can choose:Which feature branch to test against.Which test suite to execute (LoginPage tests? Secure Area? Or all of them?)Which Playwright browser to use: Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, or all.All these features can be set up using our .gitlab-ci.yaml file!Go to to bun-create-playwright, view the Pipelines…

How the MOD can achieve decision superiority against cyber threats (opens on the source site)

Here’s how AI-enhanced security platforms unify cyber security across legacy systems and security classifications, giving military teams decision superiority against evolving cyber threats with faster detection and streamlined operations.
Efficiency trades off against resiliency (opens on the source site)
What’s the “right” level of CPU utilization for a server? If you look at a monitoring dashboard from a well-designed and well-run service, what CPU utilization should we hope to see, averaged over a day or two? It’s a very general question, and it’s not clear it should have a single answer. That said, for a long time, I generally believed that higher is always better: we should aim for as close to 100% utilization as we can.
Update on DoS Attacks against our Online Game (opens on the source site)
In my previous post 8 months ago I described how our open source online game DDraceNetwork has been suffering under DoS attacks for about 8 years, basically since its inception. Recently the attacks have gotten much worse, forcing us to work on further approaches. Since many players made suggestions recently, I’m writing this blog post to summarize what we are attempting and to ask for help again. These traffic graphs are from two of the servers we are running, note the logarithmic x-axis. Each spike represents an incoming DoS attack, as you can see some of them last for nearly a day.…
DoS Attacks against our Online Game (opens on the source site)
DDraceNetwork is an open source online game I’ve been running since 2013 with a community of volunteers. The game is available for free, I’m hosting servers for it in many countries around the world so that we have trusted official ranks. The servers are paid for by donations, which I stop collecting once the cost of the servers for the current year is covered. I wrote about DDNet in a previous post in 2016 and also a bit about the game history in 2013. Pretty much since the beginning we have been suffering from DoS attacks against the servers. Since the Steam release in 2020 the player…
