Exploits for pre-auth Fortinet FortiWeb RCE flaw released, patch now

Proof-of-concept exploits have been released for a critical SQLi vulnerability in Fortinet FortiWeb that can be used to achieve pre-authenticated remote code execution on vulnerable servers. FortiWeb is a web application firewall (WAF), which is used to protect web applications from malicious HTTP traffic and threats. The FortiWeb vulnerability has a 9.8/10 severity score and is tracked as CVE-2025-25257. Fortinet fixed it last week in FortiWeb 7.6.4, 7.4.8, 7.2.11, and 7.0.11 and later versio

Injection Rejection (2006)

Matthias Winkelmann's company decided to go the ole' outsourcing route and hand off all development work for a fixed-bid project to a certain overseas company. As it turned out, the hourly rate for certain overseas programmers were less than half that of the in-house folks, so management did the math and figured they could profit that much more. The in-house programmers were told to spend "only a little bit of time" on the project -- no technical advice, no coding assistance, and no even lookin

My Database Is My Application: Rethinking Webhook Logic with DuckDB and SQL

My Database is My Application: Rethinking Webhook Logic with DuckDB and SQL Sat May 10 2025 • duckdbsqlwebhooks Back Imagine you need to build a system for processing incoming webhooks. You're probably picturing a familiar setup: a lightweight web server (FastAPI, Flask, Express.js, etc.), some Python (or Node.js, or Go) handlers to parse JSON, a sprinkle of business logic, and then maybe persisting data to a traditional database like PostgreSQL or MySQL. Perhaps you'd toss events onto a messa

Building agents using streaming SQL queries

LLMs are general-purpose models created from huge bodies of publicly available datasets. However, many, if not most, AI Agents for enterprise use cases require access to context such as internal data and resources, tools and services. How can this be implemented when building an agentic system using Flink SQL? First, let’s consider the case of structured data, for instance details about a given customer stored in an external database. SQL is a natural fit for accessing that kind of data: Flink
