ZDI-26-526: (0Day) PAX Technology Q80 Application Installer Signature Verification Bypass Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
ZDI discloses an unauthenticated, network-adjacent RCE in PAX Technology Q80 payment terminals via installer signature bypass, rated CVSS 7.5.
ZDI-26-526 describes a signature verification bypass in the PAX Technology Q80 application installer that lets network-adjacent attackers execute arbitrary code without authentication. The 0-day is tracked as CVE-2026-19910 and CVE-2026-19911 and carries a CVSS score of 7.5. No public patch was noted at the time of disclosure.
Saving Jet Fuel
Tutorial optimizes flight paths to cut jet fuel costs using open-source Scikit-decide planning framework and OpenAP aircraft performance models.
A technical walkthrough demonstrates wind-aware flight path optimization using Scikit-decide, an open-source framework for reinforcement learning and automated planning, paired with OpenAP fuel-consumption models built by Dr. Junzi Sun at TU Delft and NOAA wind data. A Boeing 787-9 flying EWR to FCO can require roughly $68K in fuel, and adjusted routing could save thousands. The post uses Python 3.12, DuckDB with spatial extensions, and QGIS for map rendering.
