For the #selfhosted / #homelab people running #Hister (https://github.com/asciimoo/hister): you should update to version v0.4.0 ASAP. I reported a vulnerability in the previous version that allows any website to download your entire database due to missing CORS enforcement. The author responded very quickly to the disclosure and had a new release ready within a few hours, excellent work on his part.

Sadly, Hister is currently not packaged and does not auto-update, so people will have to manually download a new release, or be vulnerable.

CC @shollyethan, since he included it as a spotlight in this week's newsletter.

[19:08] Hister, eigenzinnige groningstalige rockmuziek met een duister randje

Er bestaat muziek die zich lastig in hokjes laat plaatsen. De muziek van HISTER is daar een voorbeeld van.
