Show HN: Experimenting with proof-of-work to fight WordPress comment spam

Hacker News - Thu, 11/14/2024 - 7:02am

I'm experimenting with a WordPress plugin to fight comment spam in a different way, it uses a simple proof-of-work system, like blockchain but very basic.

How it works:

- When visitors write comments, the browser must solve a small math puzzle - Take a few seconds for the real person posting one comment - (Hopefully) making it expensive for a bot trying many comments - No captcha - Work in the background while showing a nice spinner

It's still in very early stages and I would like to learn more comments and feedback from you guys. Thank you.

CISA Adds Two Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog

US-Cert Current Activity - Thu, 11/14/2024 - 7:00am

CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

  • CVE-2024-9463 Palo Alto Networks Expedition OS Command Injection Vulnerability
  • CVE-2024-9465 Palo Alto Networks Expedition SQL Injection Vulnerability

These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.

Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.

Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
