Theo's behavior should be condemned by the tech community. PERIOD.
There is no place for misogynistic behaviour in tech. Sadly women have to deal with this kind of thing too often in tech and it should be called out.

Lockhound gives each repo a grade from A+ to F. F = a malicious package D = a known-exploited CVE C = critical B = high A = medium/low only A+ = nothing found Try it free on 5 private repos: lockhound.app

AI coding tools sometimes suggest package names that don't exist. Attackers register those names and wait. It's called slopsquatting. Lockhound's MCP server lets your agent check a package before it installs it. Now on every paid plan. lockhound.app/

Critical Ruby on Rails vulnerability (GHSA-f3w6-w445-fwh9) carries a CVSS score of 9.8. It allows unauthenticated attackers to read and write arbitrary files through ImageMagick processing in Active Storage. A crafted upload can trigger the vulnerability without requiring authentication. Patch immediately: - Rails 8.1.4.1 - Rails 8.0.5.2 Applications accepting untrusted uploads should prioritize this update.

Dear @ubuntu, A critical kernel vulnerability with a CVSS score above 9.8 remains unpatched. Debian fixed it on October 16, and Omarchy and several other distros have already followed. For a company promising “Enterprise resilience,” this is unacceptable. ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026…

Important read if you care about security of your projects. Another "horror story" from Reddit. A worm used a stolen GitHub token to rewrite commits in 58 repos, and ran on our Forge servers during deploy. What happened and what we changed : r/laravel reddit.com/r/laravel/comment…

`npm audit` on an old project: 87 vulnerabilities. How many matter this week? Usually a handful. Here's how to find them 🧵

CVSS = how bad it could be. CISA KEV = attackers are using it now. FIRST EPSS = how likely it is to be exploited soon. You want all three.

Bonus trap: the "fixed in" version can still be vulnerable. Log4j 2.15.0 fixed Log4Shell and still had CVE-2021-45046.

Order: malicious packages → KEV-listed CVEs → critical/high in production deps → the rest by EPSS. A medium bug under active exploitation beats a 9.8 in your test runner.
