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.

Metasploit Wrap Up: This One Goes to Sixteen!

Metasploit adds 16 modules including 10 exploits, five covering CISA KEV vulnerabilities in Cisco, SonicWall, PaperCut, JetBrains and Langflow.

Rapid7's weekly Metasploit update ships 16 new modules, 10 of them exploit modules, with five targeting CISA KEV entries. New exploits cover Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center auth bypass (CVE-2026-20079), a SonicWall SMA1000 SSRF-to-root RCE chain (CVE-2026-83548/CVE-2026-83549), JetBrains TeamCity deserialization RCE (CVE-2026-63077), PaperCut NG/MF chain (CVE-2026-81578/CVE-2026-82078), and Langflow authenticated RCE (CVE-2026-19295). The SonicWall and PaperCut chains were reported as actively exploited zero-days, and a new ESC8 relay module exploits CVE-2026-20929 against AD CS Web Enrollment.

1.1.1.1 now supports post-quantum DNSSEC, all 2,420 bytes of it

Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 resolver now validates post-quantum DNSSEC signatures using ML-DSA-44, a 2,420-byte NIST algorithm, preparing DNS for post-quantum migration by 2029.

Cloudflare enabled 1.1.1.1 to validate DNSSEC signatures using ML-DSA-44 (algorithm 18), a NIST-standardized post-quantum signature with 1,312-byte public keys and 2,420-byte signatures, roughly 38x larger than ECDSA P-256. The large signatures exceed common DNS-over-UDP limits, forcing fallback to TCP and creating downgrade risks while conventional algorithms must be published alongside. Cloudflare cites the risk of a quantum computer breaking RSA/ECDSA signatures by 2030 and plans full post-quantum security by 2029.

BleachBit 6.0.4 fixes secure wiping that skipped clusters on Windows

BleachBit 6.0.4 fixes Windows secure-wipe bugs that skipped fragmented-file clusters, adds HSTS tracker deletion, early macOS support, and broad hardening.

The open-source cleaner BleachBit released version 6.0.4, fixing Windows shredding bugs where fragmented files were wiped incompletely because noncontiguous clusters were skipped, leaving potentially sensitive data on disk. The release adds deletion of dynamic HSTS tracking data in six Chromium-based browsers and Zen, early macOS support including a Safari cleaner and full CLI, plus hardening such as absolute paths for ipconfig/taskkill, symlink and reparse-point handling, DTD-free XML parsing, and PATH/environment sanitization when running as root.

Hillingar - MirageOS Unikernels on NixOS

A technical write-up details Hillingar, enabling reproducible Nix-based builds and NixOS deployment of MirageOS OCaml unikernels such as authoritative DNS servers.

This blog post (published December 2022, updated February 2025) describes Hillingar, work from the author's master's thesis enabling reproducible builds and deployments of MirageOS OCaml unikernels using Nix and a custom NixOS module, demonstrated with an authoritative DNS server. MirageOS unikernels embed application and low-level OS code in a single kernel, allowing dead-code elimination that reduces attack surface and improves efficiency. The post covers challenges such as solving opam dependency version constraints when linking a single dependency set.

TruffleHog AWS Analyze reduces remediation time on leaked AWS credentials

Truffle Security launched TruffleHog AWS Analyze, which maps leaked AWS keys' permissions and role assumptions; research found 88% of 64,024 leaked keys still active.

Truffle Security announced TruffleHog AWS Analyze, a TruffleHog Enterprise feature that enriches leaked AWS credentials with identity, effective permissions, and role-assumption context to help teams assess blast radius and prioritize remediation, extending earlier coverage of SaaS and Google Cloud to AWS. Truffle Security research on 64,024 unique leaked AWS keys found 88% still active, a median exposure of five years, only 14% rotated, 84% with full administrator access, and 1 in 6 being root keys, including 929 keys AWS had flagged via its compromised-key quarantine policy that still authenticated. A scan of 7.6 petabytes of public AI training data on Hugging Face found 3,343 live AWS keys, over 900 of which could list S3 buckets holding at least 51.7 TB of private data.
