CVE-2026-31431. 100% Reliable Linux LPE — no race, no per-distro offsets, page-cache write that bypasses on-disk file-integrity tools and crosses containers. Found by Xint Code.
I’m not sure how much of it is obfuscation and how much of it is golfing. Ze golfed it so ze could make the pretty valid “just 732 bytes python script” claim.
The compression could very well be just a way to write a binary in Python plaintext. ChatGPT claims it just attempts to sudo, run /bin/sh if that succeeds, and exit if that fails.
