No, it's a mannequin that comes to life. Trying to retcon it into being a killer robot is like the pyramidiots who find images of spaceships in Egyptian temple wall paintings.
And it's NIST, formerly the Bureau of Standards, not the NNSA (National Nuclear Security Administration). Apparently having evil furriners being able to mess with the definition of the furlong or the hundredweight is a national security threat.
Also not exactly surprising: It requires direct physical access to the hardware, if an attacker has that level of control you're a goner no matter what you do. In any case since Moxa devices have historically been riddled with buffer overflows and XSS and RCEs and similar vulns, no attacker will ever need to use this attack because there's much, much easier ways to get in that don't require that you travel to where the device is, get past the physical security at the site, remove the device, dismantle it, and attach probes to internal buses.
That was my reaction too. Muslims and Jews, neither of them especially pick-and-choose religions, are allowed to eat haram/non-kosher food if there's no other alternative and yet this guy rejected food he was given due to a lifestyle choice. So instead they stole food that was meant for other hungry people, and felt euphoric about it.
Has anyone who's signed up for this actually had a response? I'm curious to see whether any of these "AI" code analysers can produce anything more than AI slop, but after signing up for a few all I've had is AI crickets.
