In fact, we can try the OG YellowKey exploit on a Win11 25H2 system with KB5094126 installed. We should be protected, right?
Get real. If only KB5094126 (which is cumulative, as all Patch Tuesday updates are since 2015, and clocks in at 4.75GB) is installed, then Windows will still be vulnerable to YellowKey.
Did Microsoft attempt to fix YellowKey or bitskrieg? Nobody outside of Microsoft knows. MSRC publications don't say what they fix in any meaningful way. You just install all the updates and hope for the best.
Do we need to worry about this? No, not really. Having a stock Win11 25H2 system and installing only KB5094126 is not something you'd likely see in the real world. People generally install all of the updates.
And a Win11 with all of the updates through June will not allow Command Prompt to be directly entered via WinRE if Bitlocker is enabled for the OS disk.
If it's not KB5094126, which update fixes WinRE so that you can't get to Command Prompt directly? I have no clue. And I definitely don't have the time or patience to figure it out. If you really want to know, take it up with Microsoft.

Golden rule of vulnerability disclosure is:
Dont fuck with people who are time rich and cash poor.
You can care about nutrition and still eat cake at a birthday party.
You can be disciplined and still be fun.
Don’t confuse self-improvement with self-surveillance.
Don’t confuse certainty with wisdom.
And don’t confuse being a dick with courage.
I employ a two-pronged defence against phishing:
First, I am so behind on reading my email that, by the time a phishing message actually gets read, the original scammers have probably had their site taken down, or maybe died of old age.
Second, I don’t know any of my passwords and, if your domain doesn’t match, my password manager won’t fill them, and I’m much too lazy to fill them manually, so will probably just close the window. If it looks important, I’ll flag the email and come back to it eventually. Maybe.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to make it effectively impossible for people to buy what many call burner phones -- a phone not explicitly linked to your identity at the point of purchase -- which would impact privacy-conscious pe...
