Also, it's a twofer with the GreenPlasma zero-day local privilege escalation.

YellowKey reportedly works in Windows 11, Windows Server 2022 and 2025, but not in Windows 10.

    I think it’s your fault if you don’t have backups… but I legitimately think that we should restrict usage of classic Unix tools to scripts, and use safer tools ourselves… but I guess that’s just my opinion.

      yeah i didnt want to script removing the tmp files bc theyre sometimes useful… usually i do read;find -delete; as like a “confirm” for me…

      also, i do backup, but i guess only once a month… i was in the middle of a backup, the commands were: git add --all; git commit; find -delete; git push; and then confusion when i saw the .git folder was gone

      ive been doing this for over a decade and this is the second (third?) time something like this has happened.

      anyway, not trying to defend myself, maybe i should script the find and delete thing… but i just wanna hopefully prevent someone else’s data deletion.
