Connected to an unsecured WIFi network last week from my MacBook. When I restarted I couldn’t login and had to go through safe/recovery mode and use reset password utility from the terminal to get back in (thankfully I could log in to my Apple ID.<p>Now I’m not able to login to my Firebase console even from another laptop.<p>What’s going on here?

4 exploits, 1 bug: exploiting CVE-2024-20017 4 different ways

At the end of last year I discovered and reported a vulnerability in wappd, a network daemon that is a part of the MediaTek MT7622/MT7915 SDK and RTxxxx SoftAP driver bundle. This chipset is commonly used on embedded platforms that support Wifi6 (802.11ax) including Ubiquiti, Xiaomi, and Netgear devices. As is the case for a handful of other bugs I’ve found, I originally came across this code while looking for bugs on an embedded device: the Netgear WAX206 wireless router.
