    Balancer hack analysis and guidance for the DeFi ecosystem
    .content img { border: 1px solid black; } TL;DR The root cause of the hack was a rounding direction issue that had been present in the code for many years. When the bug was first introduced, the threat landscape of the blockchain ecosystem was significantly different, and arithmetic issues in particular were not widely considered likely vectors for exploitation. As low-hanging attack paths have become increasingly scarce, attackers have become more sophisticated and will continue to hunt for novel threats, such as arithmetic edge cases, in DeFi protocols. Comprehensive invariant documentation and testing are now essential; the simple rule “rounding must favor the protocol” is no longer sufficient to catch edge cases. This incident highlights the importance of both targeted security techn…  ( 7 min )

    Active Directory Security Tip #14: Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSAs)
    Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSAs) User accounts created to be used as service accounts rarely have their password changed. Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSAs) provide a better approach (starting in the Windows 2012 timeframe). The password is managed by AD and automatically changed. This means that the GMSA has to have security principals explicitly delegated … Continue reading  ( 6 min )

    Defeating KASLR by Doing Nothing at All
    Posted by Seth Jenkins, Project Zero Introduction I've recently been researching Pixel kernel exploitation and as part of this research I found myself with an excellent arbitrary write primitive…but without a KASLR leak. As necessity is the mother of all invention, on a hunch, I started researching the Linux kernel linear mapping. The Linux Linear Mapping The linear mapping is a region in the kernel virtual address space that is a direct 1:1 unstructured representation of physical memory. Working with Jann, I learned how the kernel decided where to place this region in the virtual address space. To make it possible to analyze kernel internals on a rooted phone, Jann wrote a tool to call tracing BPF's privileged BPF_FUNC_probe_read_kernel helper, which by design permits arbitrary kernel re…  ( 16 min )

    Uninstall Microsoft Store apps with Group Policy and Intune in Windows 11 25H2
    Windows 11 25H2, now generally available, introduces a native policy for uninstalling pre-installed Microsoft Store apps on Enterprise and Education devices. Initially released in Insider preview in June, this feature eliminates the need for custom scripts, enabling administrators to delete inbox packages through Group Policy or mobile device management solutions. Several months after the June Insider preview, user feedback confirms these limitations remain unaddressed in the general availability release. Users criticize Microsoft's new bloatware removal policy as insufficient and arriving too late, since it excludes the most controversial apps like Edge and OneDrive, while community-created tools have already provided superior removal capabilities for years.

    The cryptography behind electronic passports
    Did you know that most modern passports are actually embedded devices containing an entire filesystem, access controls, and support for several cryptographic protocols? Such passports display a small symbol indicating an electronic machine-readable travel document (eMRTD), which digitally stores the same personal data printed in traditional passport booklets in its embedded filesystem. Beyond allowing travelers in some countries to skip a chat at border control, these documents use cryptography to prevent unauthorized reading, eavesdropping, forgery, and copying. Figure 1: Chip Inside symbol (ICAO Doc 9303 Part 9) This blog post describes how electronic passports work, the threats within their threat model, and how they protect against those threats using cryptography.

    Vulnerabilities in LUKS2 disk encryption for confidential VMs
    Trail of Bits is disclosing vulnerabilities in eight different confidential computing systems that use Linux Unified Key Setup version 2 (LUKS2) for disk encryption. Using these vulnerabilities, a malicious actor with access to storage disks can extract all confidential data stored on that disk and can modify the contents of the disk arbitrarily. The vulnerabilities are caused by malleable metadata headers that allow an attacker to trick a trusted execution environment guest into encrypting secret data with a null cipher. The following CVEs are associated with this disclosure: CVE-2025-59054 CVE-2025-58356 This is a coordinated disclosure; we have notified the following projects, which remediated the issues prior to our publication.

    Patching Android ARM64 library initializers for easy Frida instrumentation and debugging
    Intro During both mobile security and mobile resiliency assessments, you often end up instrumenting the application to analyze its internals. By using either Frida or a classical debugger, we can get valuable insight into the data flows and also modify some data on the fly to make the application behave the way we want it … Continue reading Patching Android ARM64 library initializers for easy Frida instrumentation and debugging →  ( 19 min )

    Lucid Dreams II: Harness Development
    Background Last episode on the blog we took a shallow and broad approach to fuzzing several Netlink-plumbed subsystems like Netfilter, Route, Crypto, and Xfrm. This endeavor wasn’t necessarily an earnest bug finding mission since we mostly wanted to just see how fuzzing a real target with Lucid would go and what things would need tweaking. We ended up changing quite a bit of the core-fuzzer features, specifically Redqueen issues, and were able to improve the fuzzer quite a bit. We modularized the mutator component of Lucid so now writing your own fuzzer for Lucid is as simple as implementing your own mutator. We can extend this even more, and will, by enabling the user to pass command line arguments directly to the bespoke mutator.  ( 12 min )
