I've recently stumbled upon an RCE "exploit" for the Serendipity blog software, which I happen to use and have contributed to in the past. From what I can tell, it does nothing interesting (it does not even work due to broken indents, if one fixes that it uploads a PHP shell given existing credentials, but that won't be executed unless you have a server config that executes .inc files). I'm 95% certain this is bogus. Yet... in case anyone wants to have a look:

Exploit (probably bogus) on exploit-db · Issue #940 · s9y/Serendipity
I stumbled upon this: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/52036 This claims to be a remote code execution exploit for serendipity. I believe it is bogus. I'm sharing what I figured out here, mostly...

An unusable weapon
The Sarmat missile is Russia’s next-generation heavy-duty ICBM,
capable of carrying a payload of up to 10 large nuclear warheads,
a combination of warheads and countermeasures, or hypersonic boost-glide vehicles, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Simply put, the Sarmat is a doomsday weapon designed for use in an all-out nuclear war between Russia and the United States.
Dmitry Rogozin, then the head of Russia’s spa…

The missile meant to strike fear in Russia’s enemies fails once again
One of Vladimir Putin’s favorite sabres to rattle seems to have lost its edge.

I added a Razor result to Minimal APIs, but realized it's counterproductive in the long run due to the machinery surrounding anti-forgery.
It just becomes a lot of tedious stuff that negates the experience. It can be done, but Razor Pages ends up being the better option.

Serendipitous Discovery of an Optically-Dark Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxy at $z$ = 3.4
Dusty, submillimeter-selected galaxies without optical counterparts contribute a non-negligible fraction of the star formation in the early universe. However, such a population is difficult to detect through classical optical/UV-based surveys. We report the serendipitous discovery of such an optically dark galaxy, behind the quadruply-lensed $z=2.56$ quasar, H1413+117, offset to the north by 6\arcsec. From $^{12}$CO $J=4$--3, $J=6$--5, and part of the $J=13$--12 transitions, which all spatially…
