You ship a minimal OS image. The target disk is 64 GB, 256 GB, or 2 TB. Root is still 8 GB. Swap does not exist. /home is not a partition yet.
The usual fix is a one-off parted / gdisk script, a fragile installer hook, or “remember to resize after first boot.” That ...
Two CVEs against the same identity provider, filed six months apart. CVE-2023-48228 and CVE-2024-23647, both against authentik, describe the same failure: the server accepted PKCE in one request and its absence in the next. RFC 7636 had been published nine years before the first advisory.
PKCE binds an authorization code to a secret the client generates before the flow starts. Authoriza...
The signature verified. The secret was correct. The payment processed for the fourth time, from a request captured three hours earlier.
HMAC proves that a request came from someone who knows the secret. It does not prove when. APIs that sign requests without including a timestamp in the signed payl...
The OAuth flow has four participants: client, authorization server, resource server, and, when state is absent, the attacker. RFC 6749 made the only CSRF control in the authorization code flow optional.
This is not theoretical. It is CVE-2019-10315, CVE-2023-31999, and most OAuth clients running in production today.
The developer adds ?api_key= to the URL because it is the simplest way to test an endpoint. The credential works. The endpoint returns data. What the developer does not see: that token was written into six distinct stores. It was also queued for transmission to a third-party monitoring service.
The assumption that a query parameter token is "just a temporary credential" ign...
AI can hand you a working prototype in a weekend. Screens render, buttons respond, data appears. It feels like the app is ninety percent done and the last step is pressing an eject button that drops you into clean, owned production code.
That button does not exist. There is no single export that converts generated output into an app you can run, update, and answer for. What exists inste...
