OpenAI Codex Vulnerability Scanner: Patch Friday by the Bottle
Another tool launch, another vendor promising to shore up all the holes in your rickety castle while you pretend you’ve actually patched anything in the last quarter.

InstallFix: The Clone Campaign That Proves We’re Still Just Stylus in a Bourbon Bottle
Overview you probably ignored last week Pour yourself a glass of whiskey because this InstallFix saga is exactly the kind of reckless, overhyped drama you expect from the vendor circus that somehow runs your security budget.

Cisco Warns of More Catalyst SD-WAN Flaws Exploited in the Wild – Welcome to Patch Fatigue
What happened Cisco dropped the news you’ve probably already guessed from the last round of vendor webinars and fear-checked risk reports: two Catalyst SD-WAN Manager vulnerabilities are actively being exploited in the wild.

Six Generations, One Security Document: The 6G Principles We All Ignore Anyway
The Global Coalition has issued a glossy bundle titled 6G Security and Resilience Principles, and yes, it reads like a vendor briefing memo written on recycled cocktail napkins.

MS-Agent AI Framework Vulnerability: The Patch That Should Have Been a Firewall
