Successful Errors: New Code Injection and SSTI Techniques

Clear and obvious name of the exploitation technique can create a false sense of familiarity, even if its true potential was never researched, the technique itself is never mentioned and payloads are limited to a couple of specific examples. This research focuses on two such techniques for Code Injection and SSTI.

I thought Scott would cop it first when he posted about what his solar system really cost him last year. "You're so gonna get that stupid AI-slop response from some people", I joked. But no, he got other stupid responses instead! And I got the AI-slop responses! Draw your own conclusions on those comments, but I find it fascinating that the one thing people would take away from a thoughtful blog post I spent many hours writing to explain how much work I put into privacy is that the illustration was computer-generated. That such feedback aligns with the political leanings of folks on Mastodon is also fascinating, and probably something I should have seen coming. But hey, there's nothing new about folks popping their heads up to make inane comments where none were needed, and I have a special blog post for just such occasions: If You Don't Want Guitar Lessons, Stop Following Me.

I’m in Oslo! Flighty is telling me I’ve flown in or out of here 43 times since a visit in 2014 set me on a new path professionally and, many years later, personally. It’s special here, like a second home that just feels… right. This week, the business end of things is about the WhiteDate data breach. Seeking a partner along common racial lines isn’t unusual, but… well… WhiteDate is anything but usual. And, just for fun, see if you can pick the thing that garnered the most negative feedback about that blog post this week, I’ll feature the discussion in the next vid.

WinBoat: Drive by Client RCE + Sandbox escape.

Winboat lets you "Run Windows apps on 🐧 Linux with ✨ seamless integration"

I chained together an unauthenticated file upload to an "update" route and a command injection in the host election app to active full "drive by" host takeover in winboat.

Elon Musk’s Grok β€˜Undressing’ Problem Isn’t Fixed

15 January 2026 at 19:30
X has placed more restrictions on Grok’s ability to generate explicit AI images, but tests show that the updates have created a patchwork of limitations that fail to fully address the issue.

Demonstration: prompt-injection failures in a simulated help-desk LLM

I built this as a small demonstration to explore prompt-injection and instruction-override failure modes in help-desk-style LLM deployments.

The setup mirrors common production patterns (role instructions, refusal logic, bounded data access) and is intended to show how those controls can be bypassed through context manipulation and instruction override.

I’m interested in feedback on realism, missing attack paths, and whether these failure modes align with what others are seeing in deployed systems.

This isn’t intended as marketing - just a concrete artefact to support discussion.
