It seems like there has been a flood of extremely serious bugs being patched in updates over just the past couple of weeks. Has anyone heard of a major leak somewhere from maybe a government agency or security appratus that is making all of this known? Or Have their been stories of these things getting exploited?

I can't decide from what angle these are coming from. Is it Ai and the decreasing costs of attack and variation on these systems, or Ai pentesting, or is this a flood of previously hidden info rising to the surface as institutional trust breaks down... or is this just a complete coincidence?

Just really curious because I feel like this has been out of the ordinary, but maybe not? 🤔

"while checking the device of an individual employed by a Washington DC-based civil society organization"

this led to the webp vulnerability disclosure which probably made google and others dig and find a vuln in vp8. haven't read about the one you linked yet
