ZINE DROP: WIRED IN, LOCKED DOWN
Fresh OSINT pulls from the wire in the last 24 hours. Firewalls burning, source repos leaking, and nation-state crews on the move. Stay frosty, script kiddies and pros alike. Here’s the raw feed, no fluff.
PAN-OS ZERO-DAY GETS WILD
Palo Alto Networks dropped word on CVE-2026-0300, a nasty buffer overflow in the User-ID Authentication Portal (Captive Portal) of PAN-OS. Unauthenticated attackers can send crafted packets and grab root on PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls. CVSS hits 9.3 when exposed to the internet.6261
Limited in-the-wild exploitation already confirmed. Patches roll out around May 13. Immediate move: restrict the portal to trusted IPs only or disable if unused. This one hits network defenders where it counts, perimeter gear turning traitor. Check your configs now.
TRELLIX SOURCE CODE REPO BREACHED
Cybersecurity vendor Trellix confirmed unauthorized access to a portion of its source code repository. They brought in forensic experts, notified law enforcement, and say no evidence of exploitation or impact on release/distribution processes so far.5152
Even the guardians get hit. Reminder: supply chain scrutiny never sleeps. Watch for any follow-on IOCs if this escalates.
CHINA-LINKED APT UAT-8302 HITS GOVERNMENTS
Cisco Talos tracks UAT-8302, a China-nexus crew slamming government targets in South America (since late 2024) and southeastern Europe (2025). They reuse shared malware like NetDraft/NosyDoor (.NET backdoor) seen across other APT clusters.47
Post-exploitation focuses on custom toolkits for persistence and data exfil. Classic nation-state playbook—shared tooling means broader exposure if one cluster gets burned.
VIMEO EMAILS LEAK VIA SHINYHUNTERS
ShinyHunters dropped claims of 119K Vimeo user emails from a third-party analytics supplier (Anodot). Vimeo confirms no logins or payment data touched. Have I Been Pwned flagged it.50
ShinyHunters and Qilin also linked to real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield vishing incidents. Extortion crews keeping busy.
QUICK HITS FROM THE UNDERGROUND
- cPanel/WHM critical vuln under mass exploitation—thousands of sites at risk, some already seeing ransomware demands. Patch urgent.50
- CopyFail Linux flaw actively exploited for root on distributions since 2017. Researchers dropped a reliable exploit—attackers jumped fast.50
- DAEMON Tools supply chain compromise—trojanized Windows installers from official site since early April.
- Apache HTTP/2 double-free (CVE-2026-23918)—DoS and potential RCE fixed in 2.4.67.
- Google Android pushes public verification and updates to block phone takeover vectors. Update your devices.
- CISA pushes critical infrastructure to prep for weeks/months of isolation in conflict scenarios. Fortify now.18
OSINT RADAR
Dark web chatter includes fresh gambling site dumps (e.g., KingBet Turkey). Phishing campaigns abusing legit tools like Google AppSheet and Microsoft Phone Link for credential/OTP theft remain hot. AI slop and agentic tools keep muddying disclosures—verify everything.
PRO TIPS FROM THE ZINE
- Audit exposed portals and captive services today.
- Monitor third-party vendors like your life depends on it (it might).
- Patch Linux/web servers aggressively.
- Enable MFA everywhere and watch for token theft via AiTM/phishing.
- For OSINT heads: cross-reference dark web listings with HIBP and vendor advisories.
STAY WIRED
The grid never sleeps, and neither do the crews probing it. Drop your own sightings or tips for the next brief. Encrypt, verify, and keep the signal strong.
