Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Celine Pypaert discusses the ubiquitous nature of open-source software and shares a blueprint for securing modern applications. She explains how to prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities using exploitability data, the role of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and the importance of bridging the gap between DevOps and Security through clear accountability and automated governance.

Zendesk argues that GenAI shifts the bottleneck in software delivery from writing code to “absorption capacity”, which is the organisation’s ability to define problems clearly, integrate changes into the wider system, and turn implementation into reliable value. As code becomes abundant, architectural coherence, review capacity, and delivery flow become the main constraints.

Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini used Claude Code to find a remotely exploitable heap buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's NFS driver, undiscovered for 23 years. Five kernel vulnerabilities have been confirmed so far. Linux kernel maintainers report that AI bug reports have recently shifted from slop to legitimate findings, with security lists now receiving 5-10 valid reports daily.

At Lead Bank, synchronous telemetry flushing caused intermittent exporter stalls to become user-facing 504 gateway timeouts. By leveraging AWS Lambda's Extensions API and goroutine chaining in Go, flush work is moved off the response path, returning responses immediately while preserving full observability without telemetry loss.

Security researchers have demonstrated a new class of Rowhammer attacks targeting NVIDIA GPUs that can escalate from memory corruption to full system compromise, marking a significant shift in hardware-level security risks.
