Today I learned about structuring #CMake projects.
This is a quick update on #GitRaven project. I have started looking into unit testing the app so I can setup CI/CD with #GitHub Actions.
It is a long ways away but the first step must start from somewhere.

@carnage4life better "letting people generate more security reports than the small project security teams can cope with"
The reports may be minor, but they're still time consuming. So we drop the reports into our own AI tools for review, while also looking at them ourselves. If a fix is needed and its a drudge work change: delegate to the AI
Which brings us to the next problem: we used to hide not-yet-announced fixes in nondescript PRs "clean up auth stack". "More tests and better error messages on decryption" and now the LLMs can review all these patches and identify the security fixes, before they're announced.
Maybe we all need to go to the weekly release cycle of chrome -but who is set up for that?

The EU's age verification app can be hacked in 2 minutes. (Found by Paul Moore)
Demo :
https://youtu.be/1hfDOhrNx1I
In short :
- The pin you set to lock the app is encrypted, not hashed, which means with the private key of the app it could be reversed (there's no need to get that as you'll see in the next points
- Once you verify your age, the pictures and data identifying you is not deleted. Although on regular phones you and other apps can't access it as they are protected at the Android level, this is still a breach of GDPR
- The app's data is stored in a shared preferences file, which is pretty much just plain text. If you delete the key for your PIN, the app will let you create a new one, and still access the data of the old account.
- Nevertheless, the EU still brands it as a privacy friendly option on their site at https://t.ly/labwF
In short, don't verify your age online! This is really bad for privacy!

CISA added Apache ActiveMQ CVE-2026-34197 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list on April 17 with a federal deadline of April 30. Horizon3's Naveen Sunkavally found the bug by running Claude over the Jolokia code. The flaw has sat in the codebase for 13 years. 8,000+ brokers on the open internet, admin:admin still the common credential. I have watched every real incident start with an unrotated credential, not a zero-day.
