We created a new MDN page about Cross-site scripting: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Attacks/XSS

Here is another #NameThatWare challenge. This time I am quite sure that no text or marking needs to be blurred.
Do you know what this thing is? Can you name the exact part number or product name?

As always, explain your guess/deduction and hide it behind a CW to not spoil others.

Maybe it is my bad English/ears but I can't ignore hearing the name of Enno Rey instead of the track title :S

I am mildly amused that OpenAI telemetry rollout led to a classical Kubernetes control plane DoS.

In my experience DDoSing your own control plane is the #1 way people generate large failures in K8s. What are others?

Feel old yet? The winrar registration nag screen is Electron these days.

EDIT: Whoops, it seems I'm wrong: This is just an embedded webview, which on Win10 is apparently chromium-backed (probably because it's Edge)

#Polish researchers have discovered components of a German #Enigma cipher machine, crucial to the Nazi wartime communications system, on Sobieszewska island near the city of Gdańsk. All in all, 8 rotors and various other parts were recovered. https://tvpworld.com/84053156/fragments-of-rare-german-enigma-machine-unearthed-in-poland

Teammate generated a song with LLM about a local charlatan, and I have to bow before the genius of the Machine:

"[Person] will be the wall

#IBMi is vulnerable to an authenticated user gaining elevated privilege to a physical file [CVE-2024-47104]

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7179158

Emphasis mine:

"A user with authority to a *view* can alter the based-on *physical file* security attributes without having object management rights to the physical file."

I wonder what other discrepancies there may be between Db2 and other interfaces.

One of the fun parts of doing my security audits is coming across unexpected code that looks exploitable, and trying it out myself to see what possibilities exist.

In a recent audit, I found myself asking... What if you hashed null?
