DeepZero: Open-source hunting for vulnerable Windows drivers

DeepZero, a new open-source engine, automates discovery of exploitable Windows kernel drivers for BYOVD attacks using Ghidra, Semgrep, and an LLM.

DeepZero is a free, open-source Python pipeline orchestrator that automates hunting for exploitable Windows kernel drivers relevant to BYOVD (bring your own vulnerable driver) attacks. Its seven-stage YAML pipeline parses PE headers, filters for kernel-mode drivers with IOCTL surfaces, excludes drivers listed on loldrivers.io, then runs headless Ghidra decompilation, Semgrep scanning, and an LLM-based exploitability assessment. The maintainer reports multiple verified vulnerabilities in the Snappy Driver Installer corpus, some still in the disclosure process, and notes findings involving plug-and-play-created device objects may need physical hardware to confirm.

Permify: Open-source authorization as a service

Help Net Security profiles Permify, an open-source Zanzibar-style authorization service supporting RBAC, ABAC, and relationship-based rules with multi-tenant deployments.

Permify is an open-source authorization-as-a-service project modeled on Google Zanzibar that centralizes access-control decisions outside application code. It supports role-based, relationship-based, and attribute-based access rules, answers checks in tens of milliseconds via REST and gRPC, and runs from a single Docker command. It is a CNCF member and is freely available on GitHub.

Homebrew 7.0.0 gets built-in GUI, better security controls

Homebrew 7.0.0 adds a built-in vulnerability scanner (brew vulns), a Homebrew advisory database, stronger sandboxing, and the BrewUI GUI.

Homebrew 7.0.0 ships a native BrewUI graphical interface for macOS 26 Tahoe and later, plus a new 'brew vulns' command that queries OSV.dev in batch to flag vulnerabilities in installed formulae, specific packages, or Brewfile dependencies. The release also introduces a Homebrew-specific OSV-format advisory database distinguishing outstanding vulnerabilities from backported fixes. Sandbox improvements block home directory access by default and separate network-enabled dependency downloads from offline installs.
