These systems, +currently in active use by major social media networks including but +not limited to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, allow for the crafting +of a carefully selected message that allows successful attackers to +gain control over the target victim. + +We have demonstrated evidence of this proposed attack to be currently +in active use, and be unpatched in current implementations. +Additionally, we have found evidence this attack has been employed +successfully in the past, affecting a copper ore processing facility's +communication sytems. + +This technique is known to be wormable, with common cases causing +spread across networks and social groups. This geometric spread can +lead to arbitrary philsophical execution on target systems, which will +result in denial of service in all cases. + +The vulnerability arises from the intentional distortion of messages, +deviating from the expected interaction protocol. It can be +classified, partially, as a social engineering attack, whereby an +individual purposefully distorts ground truths, fabricating false +protocol axioms, to manipulate the perceptions of targets. + +As the vulnerability lies within human interaction protocols, +rather than vulnerable systems, it can be classified as a supply chain +issue. As patching the vulnerable dependency is, as of right now, +infeasible, and potentially undesirable, software developers, social +media platforms, and communication service providers can implement +user interfaces and algorithms that alleviate the unpatched +vulnerability, until a proper fix can be implemented. + +Nnaki Systems (the vendor of the vulnerable components of the human +instrument) has not yet released a patch to the to rectify this +vulnerability, with their CEO Anu claiming that this is "an +intentional feature" and releasing the following statement to +shareholders: + +> Dear valued customers and stakeholders, +> +> I would like to address recent claims regarding the alleged +> vulnerability, HVE-BC1750-0001, associated with our product.

It may be advisable to delete social media +applications such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Threads to avoid being +exploited. + +This report would be impossible without the efforts of [Layl +Bongers](https://twitter.com/celphase).
