16% of RPKI-covered IPv4 routes still allow a forged-origin hijack that passes validation, the setup behind the Virtualizor update attack
Author here, I work at IPinfo. some security-relevant highlights part of the post:
- The August 28 Virtualizor update attack used a forged-origin /24 inside Hetznerβs space. From what we saw, it was RPKI-valid because Hetznerβs ROA covered the /16 and allowed announcements down to /24, and no real /24 existed to compete with it.
- We also measured how common that setup is. In this case, of 855,217 RPKI-covered IPv4 routes, 138,698 (16.2%) have a ROA looser than the route announced and no more-specific route of their own filling the gap. For IPv6 itβs 20.9%. Thatβs roughly 18 million more-specifics someone could announce today and come out RPKI-valid and uncontested.
- Hosting providers also differ a lot: Contabo leaves 540 of 553 covered routes open, DigitalOcean 780 of 863, OVH 11.5%.
- Invalid routes are being dropped now: a typical valid route is seen by 596 vantage points, an invalid one by 2. So the remaining risk is routes that pass the check, not ones that fail it.
- There's also the fix in RFC 9319: leave maxLength unset, so a ROA only matches the block you actually announce.

Playing It SFAPE: Code Execution in Isolated User Mode
Doyensec discovered multiple vulnerabilities in SFAPE.dll, a VBS enclave shipped with Windows, and chained them to gain code execution within the enclave in Windows Isolated User Mode (VTL1). The post explores how VBS enclaves work and how memory corruption can undermine their isolation guarantees. Microsoft addressed the reported issue in the September 2026 bulletin under CVE-2026-83498.

LG webOS sync-demo Preauth RCE
An exploit chain was found in LG webOS, leading to root command execution. The chain starts with a client-key issuance bypass, progresses through service-level access, and ultimately leads to root command execution.
