Changelog

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.

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

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.

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.

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@.

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.
Date: 2026/07/16 (1784185200)
Microsoft has decided to send our emails to spam on their clients based on a "hunch" because our email domain is .com and emailed site links are .news. We have SPF, DKIM, and everything set up correctly. We pass all checks as a valid and safe sender and they even note that, but still decide to send us to spam. They just seem to not like us. Weird. We will be working on mitigating this behavior from them in the coming weeks. We apologize on their behalf for our users who have had a bad experience due to this silliness.
Date: 2026/07/14 (1784012400)
Some interesting whitepapers were added today. Well worth browsing through via the papers tag.
Date: 2026/07/08 (1783494000)
Working on some long overdue optimizations for speed (compression/minification/etc). There may be periods of breakage today although the goal is none. If you notice anything, please mail staff@ and we will address it.
Date: 2026/07/03 (1783062000)
There was a missing null check on an array element being pushed into activity timelines that in rare edges cases caused a 500. This has been addressed and apologies to anyone who had this issue with their activity timeline.
Date: 2026/06/25 (1782370800)
Updates are averaging over 100 daily, delaying other projects we have in the works (but we will get there). Also, we updated the store with better graphics on items and have a cool new embroidered hat. If you like hats, this one is pretty decent.
Date: 2026/06/16 (1781593200)
The updates will continue until all the things are secure. ETA currently unknown. Why hasn't AI solved this? Pfft.
Date: 2026/06/07 (1780815600)
Looks like the store link broke without us realizing. Apologies. We added two new fun shirts "coding is not a crime" and "if the flaw exists, the exploit exists". We strongly suggest Microsoft employees buy them, but they're available to all.
Date: 2026/05/28 (1779951600)
We are a bit concerned with the censorship ideology resurfacing against research disclosure, yet again. Be grumpy all you want, but personal AI harnesses will crank out exploits based on sparse details from advisories these days. The discussion is moot. Don't shoot the messenger. Fix the flaw.
Date: 2026/05/26 (1779778800)
Another day of in excess of 200 additions. Something for everyone.
Date: 2026/05/20 (1779260400)
Today there were 248 additions. This is not a small amount. Depending on what you want to review, using the tags is probably your best bet. Kudos to RedHat for patching as much as they have but wow.. over 160 advisories there alone.
