Friends in #Norway! 🇳🇴 And I'm lucky to have many of those by now. June 29 I will be talking #OpenPolicyAgent and all things related at the local #OWASP meetup. Come join me, @webtonull and a whole bunch of other smart and fun people for what I'm sure will be a great event. Not many spots left, so make sure to RSVP right away.

The good news is that we managed to get CVE-2022-23529 revoked. The bad news is we won’t get back the time devs and sec engineers around the world spent triaging and fixing this. Lets do better goin forward. CVEs should have a meaningful attack path.

Good post about ReDOS and why some bug classes add more noise than signal: https://blog.yossarian.net/2022/12/28/ReDoS-vulnerabilities-and-misaligned-incentives (via @kozmic). Fits well with Mark Curpheys recent blog posts at https://blog.crashoverride.com/
