It's another week of the vulnpocalypse. Bring a coat.

Date: 2026/10/07 (1791356400)

As we have learned to embrace the vulnpocalypse, we still feel there should be a rule against an advisory having over 1,000 associated CVEs. We hope that AI firms start competing for who can write the most secure code and automate patching versus who can break into everyone else quicker. It's getting old and unimpressive.

Date: 2026/10/02 (1790924400)

A cache bounce was needed to help address some issues with the share buttons. Everything should be working appropriately and in a browser agnostic capacity, but if you see any issues, please holler.

Date: 2026/10/01 (1790838000)

As the vulnpocalypse progresses, we will remain steadfast in our mission to provide all the things no matter how obscure the findings. Remember to stay hydrated. This is going to be a while.

Date: 2026/09/29 (1790665200)

We had to do it. It should slow them down, if nothing else.

Date: 2026/09/26 (1790406000)

To the owner of the botnet from this morning. Performing a single request per IP at this scale, albeit impressive, has probably cost you more in tokens to facilitate than API access would have cost you. But when you dos us, you dos yourself based on what you are trying to achieve. Surprisingly only an occasional load spike has happened but at the scale this is occurring, we may need to just start dropping packets for many tens of thousands of IP addresses if you persist. And that is not fun for anyone. The distributed behavior between requests is pretty obvious.

Date: 2026/09/24 (1790233200)

New navigation and search settings have been implemented to make things more aesthetically pleasing and usable. This will be especially true of using the site on mobile. The last search box was beyond lackluster in a mobile context, but priorities and all that. Enjoy!

Side note - although they may seem noisy, the amount of advisories that come from SUSE and Red Hat are staggering in comparison to all other distros. Are others just not patching, or just not tracking?

Side side note - Daily additions have more than doubled in the past week with a new rewrite of the backend automation. We are integrating AI here and there to audit data (outside of our ecosystem) and may produce a malware identified feed in the coming months as well.

Date: 2026/09/18 (1789714800)

There were some caching issues with the file display pages this morning. At the moment, they appear addressed. Please shoot a note if you have any issues.

Date: 2026/09/11 (1789110000)

The file section had issues for about 2 hours today when displaying an entry. These issues have been remediated. The people responsible for the subtitles have been sacked. Apologies for the annoyance.

Date: 2026/09/08 (1788850800)

There's an effort to pivot things to a more automated fashion on the backend to handle the AIpocalypse of vulnerabilities and related exploits. We are still at a 10x+ daily rate of additions from last year at this time. More to come. Also, I'm not going to call out the nation state, but we saw your botnet sprawl against the site this morning. It would be prudent to chill out. 15k requests from 12k unique IPs across 6k unique netblocks in a handful of minutes was interesting, but easily noticed. Did you go on a WordPress popping run for your botnet? Pffft.

Date: 2026/08/31 (1788159600)

Due to some significant backend changes over the weekend, some tightened permissions caused a clobber of the mail spool, so anything that was sent in since Friday has gone poof. Changes have been made to ensure this cannot happen again, but for those that sent submissions, they will need to be resent. Apologies.

Date: 2026/08/24 (1787554800)

The recent formatting changes introduced a couple of bugs when only a single entry was discovered for a given search. These have been addressed.

Date: 2026/08/17 (1786950000)

Today was not small, by any measure. It started with wanting to fulfill the requests of many to add pictures to the files. Doing this in a scalable way took some brain storming and the end result was to randomize from a pool based on tags related to a file with some safety fall-backs. While reviewing what has generated, we will agree right now that you don't always get the best pic for the file, but we will work on this concept.

Having gotten the pics working brought up another issue. For quite a long time we always prioritized functional over aesthetic. But aesthetic can help quite a bit, especially on mobile. Usability matters. Going forward, CVEs and tags have buttons you can more easily press and the overall format is a bit more.. let's say modern. If you have any problems, please open a ticket in the Tracker. We have made every effort to test every piece repeatedly, but it wasn't a small change. Enjoy!

New zero days have surfaced from Exploit-Garbage and there is also an interesting RoguePlanet patch bypass released by NightmareEclipse. Side note - having added large archives with conference slides today, the associated credits have become quite... large. This is not aesthetically pleasing and we will work on reducing that with the ability to expand. Lots of changes happening in the backend that aren't released. Hopefully more to announce soon.

Date: 2026/08/08 (1786172400)

Receipts for premium services can now be downloaded via the respective manager for each service to ensure ease of access / less manual steps. As usually, please let us know if you have any issues or see breakage.

Date: 2026/08/01 (1785567600)

Announcing the Storm Tracker. You can find it under Tracker in your menu options. If you have a feature request, find a bug, or need anything, drop us a line there and we can track it. Other aesthetic changes have also been pushed today. If you notice any problems, please report it via the Tracker. If the problem is IN the Tracker, please shoot us an email at staff@.

Date: 2026/07/28 (1785222000)

There should be some sort of law as to how many CVEs can be put into a single advisory. I don't think we're in the midst of a vulnpocalypse so much as a patchapocalypse (tm).

Date: 2026/07/27 (1785135600)

Some recent controls around rate limiting have been modified. If you believe this has triggered on you in error, please let us know.

Date: 2026/07/22 (1784703600)

A staggering amount of Joomla proof of concepts have been added today. Thanks to Alejandro Ramos for sharing his extensive amount of work.

Date: 2026/07/21 (1784617200)

Today there were close to 200 additions. There should be something for everyone.
