And while looking at stuff I realized that the list of GHSAs is also just visible so.…

Funny gems like Gogs (latest release 0.13.0) having two distinct 10/10 security advisories for 0.13.0, meaning if you upgraded to that version, good luck upgrading to their git branch or something?

Magento and Shopware also never disappoint when it comes to security /hj

(I am so glad not to work in eCommerce any longer)

Okay, so with Magento, Shopware, Drupal, Typo3, PrestaShop, Symfony, and Laravel I feel like you could've had a lot of fun the past two months. The only eCommerce platform I didn't see is OXID (which didn't have any CVEs since 2023 it seems). But yeah, that should've hit a lot of stuff.

This is so funny to me: github.com/advisories?query=se

And that's only the critical ones, there is more under high it seems.

ahhhh, yes.…

At this point I'm just laughing at everything I find.…

Okay, looking at the CERT Bund site and filtering for critical stuff without mitigation is funny.
The list goes: D-LINK, Linksys, Linksys, D-LINK, D-LINK, something else, D-LINK, D-LINK

Let's talk about SnailLoad (CVE-2024-39920) for a second, shall we?

So it turns out, if you download something from a server that affects your bandwidth and potentially latency, and anything your computer is connected to could potentially detect if your current network load changes (i.e. Steam starts or stops downloading a big game or whatever).

This probably has practical implications.… unless you are me, have asymmetric routing which already obscures a lot, one internet connection which already has varying latency (thanks cable), and a constant network load of at least 1Mbit/s with irregular but frequent peaks, because yes of course we have about twenty services hosted from this flat.

I think it's very interesting that you can see the variation in latency on the other side, but at the same time I'm not sure whether any of this is practical for virtually anything at least in this country.
Considering Germany has shoddy internet at best, you wouldn't be able to tell if it's me opening a video, or my neighbour, or maybe Vodafone forgot to use more than a single Gigabit uplink for the entirety of Berlin (again). Who knows?
Is this security through obscurity? Yes.
Do I think any of this matters?
Well, not really, at least not until we all have good internet connections (Gigabit and upwards, I'm not talking about the sad reality of maybe raising speeds from 10 to 15 mbit/s) that can actually be saturated because we have the capacity, but that's not gonna happen within my lifetime (at least not on a larger scale).

@benaryorg FWIW, I'm on gbit fiber, and at first I thought the demo was broken - it barely rendered any observable latency for me
