What happened

Multiple high-impact security stories: a proof-of-concept for the Windows privilege-escalation zero-day “MiniPlasma” that yields SYSTEM on fully patched hosts has been released; a recently patched Linux local privilege escalation (DirtyDecrypt) in the rxgk module now has an exploit PoC; Microsoft confirmed install/patch failures for several Windows updates (including KB5089549 and January 2026 optional previews) affecting restricted networks and some Windows 11 systems; active malware and supply‑chain activity includes the leaked Shai‑Hulud infostealer being used to push malicious npm packages
