The Internet Is on Fire (Patch These Now)
In five days, almost every layer developers build on got hit: weak eMudhra certificate keys (one was the number 4), PHP2Shell, a Node.js Brotli RCE, a CVSS 10 GitLab flaw, a poisoned LiteLLM release on PyPI, Plex2Shell attacks, Railway and OpenCode key exposures, and an SBI data leak. Here's what happened at each layer, and what to update and rotate today.
