AutoGDB: exploit a binary while sipping coffee (autogdb.io)
AutoGDB's MCP works in a special way. It use a SaaS-ish way to establish client-server-client communication, in order for that to work, I did some reworking and tweaking on the original MCP SSE Protocols session pool (if you look closely, you can see the AutoGDB's MCP actually use SSE URL Paramter to connect). Which allows you to deploy AutoGDB in one GDB, and use it anywhere.

Heap-overflowing Llama.cpp to RCE (retr0.blog)
If you are an exploitation enthusiast, this write-up will be a perfect source of entertainment. I spent ~30h on exploiting the heap-overflow to remote-code execution. At the same time, I had already spent around 2 weeks prior researching/understanding Llama.cpp source regarding its very own RPC & Memory implementations. Since Llama.cpp has such a special heap-management system, special features of this system will fail the classic ptmalloc exploitations that we are familiar with.
