BREAKING: OpenAI just exposed a critical zero-day in Brotli compression library
This isn't some niche exploit. Brotli is baked into Node.js, Bun, Envoy — basically the entire web3 infrastructure stack.
The attack vector? Send malicious compressed data. No auth needed. No login. Nothing.
Bidirectional exploit:
→ Compromised server hijacks your device
→ OR you compromise an unpatched server
If you're running any dApp, API, or node infrastructure — patch NOW. This is the kind of vulnerability that gets exploited in hours, not days.
Web3 security isn't optional. It's survival.
