An unreleased Claude model built a remote root exploit for a Linux TCP flaw. In Anthropic's PoC, root commands ran in 53 minutes via an exposed MPTCP listener.
As of Oct 30, Debian 12/13 have fixes. RHEL, AlmaLinux, CloudLinux and Ubuntu don't.

A virtual machine can read its host's memory. And the flaw is in the Linux kernel.
PwnEscape (CVE-2026-99999, CVSS 9.3) exposes a critical weakness in VM isolation.
Fixed kernels are out, but VPS hosts need to patch the host, not the guest.

S3E13 is live: Hostinger is moving beyond hosting.
What's behind its 50% annual growth?
🎙️ @konradkeck talks with @Hostinger CPO @slazaravicius about AI agents and product decisions.
Why avoid constant upsells? When do you drop a product?
▶️ youtu.be/o8fd_aQYuN8
The next VPS workload might be an AI agent, not a website.
@NameHerocom is targeting that use case with always-on VPS hosting and a choice of six pre-installed apps, including OpenClaw, n8n and Claude Code.
Built for tasks that keep running even after you close your laptop.

👉 "@Hostinger stopped thinking of itself as just a web hosting company years ago."
Thats what @slazaravicius Lazaravičius told me right at the start of our interview. Hes now Chief Product Officer at Hostinger (promoted since we recorded the episode 🫡).
This is exactly why I think this approach is one of the biggest reasons behind Hostingers success. The company grew its revenue by another 51% in 2025! Instead of just selling hosting and adding more tools on top, Hostinger is building its own products and making them work together. Websites, apps, domains, email, ecommerce, marketing and AI, all connected.
In the episode we cover:
🔹Why Hostinger no longer sees itself as just a hosting company
🔹Competing with Lovable, Wix, Shopify and Vercel
🔹Why they prefer building products in-house
🔹2 million AI Agent conversations every month
🔹Why they avoid constant upsells
🔹How they decide what to build, improve or kill
🔹Making hosting and infrastructure accessible to AI agents
... and much more.
I think there's a lot other hosting providers can learn here, especially those still competing mostly on price and traditional hosting features.

Three WebPros products. Three price increases.

For hosting providers, that's another hit to margins.

A WordPress flaw patched in 7.1.2 can reach code execution on some hosting environments, but not others.
CVE-2026-87902 was probed within hours of the fix. CrowdSec later counted 322,000+ matching requests in five days.
What decides the outcome? Theme structure and host configuration.

Automattic licenses the WordPress trademark commercially. But a federal judge ruled it cannot assert these trademark claims in its own right.
The claims survive, and the ruling does not invalidate licensing demands.
