Eg, declare parts of the compiled/interpreted code with specific privileges. Kind of like how memory regions can be NX.
Compromised account or server? It'd be interesting for their spam filters to catch most of it. But an accidental loop or issue in your code? (like another commenter mentioned with a $30k bill). Yikes.
Incredible to lack such a basic feature to better protect an account especially when money is involved.
Would a model also be open and transparent? It would at least be open & testable, but I'm not sure about transparent for easily identifying any biases.
Eg, UserA only has been granted access to ServerB, so only show them ServerB as a target and reject all others.
I think I was a bit vague about RBAC. I'm thinking that the user account creation isn't vital in this use case since the audit log holds who generated/access. It's more about controlling who can generate a cert for what.
Eg, I think Teleport's model has the RBAC config at or near the CA part, so the cert generation either happens if authorized or denied if not.
I've seen projects that'll do the SSH CA part, but unless I overlooked it I didn't see any RBAC or mapping ability to restrict users to specific servers.
Other isolation levels were needed, like an MPM that would run vhosts as their own user, or a vhost level chroot.
Alternatively, there was php-cgi via suexec, but it didn't have the persistent qualities of mod_php.
I understand the issue, of what sounds like removing the core/theme signing, due to other issues like 32bit performance issues it seems, but it looks like the WP comment has plausible reasons for why.
It would be nice and more informative if the blog post took a point by point approach to the WP comment, IMO.
I wonder how many other feeds/sources like that in which so many businesses rely on in at least some level of autonomous fashion.
Reminds of the story of Google wiping out all of their CDN servers by Diskerase because of a single detected value, IIRC.
The goal to hopefully influence companies into providing such a fundamental ability.
There's a third-party or two that can use the API to do a backup/restore, but also, still, not all of the QBO data has an API. Eg, IIRC, recurring transaction tasks.
Just a matter of time for ransomware to replace data via APIs.
1. Why are WAF rules not progressively deployed since there's already a system to do so?
2. Maybe there should also be a testing environment that receives a mirror of production traffic before deployments reach real users?
(I understand the WAF change was not set to take action, but a separate environment would be less likely to affect production)
If so, it sounds like the next trick to follow would be a type of "redirect gadget" to get SameSite=Strict to be exploitable again. If so, maybe it's only the end of CSRFs without a gadget.
Eg of "redirect gadget", CSRF via VICTIM.COM/open-redirect?url=/update-password...
Also not a good plan for the database to no longer fit within RAM, especially if the storage engine is evicting cached pages for blob content, only to populate a CDN.
Semi-related, I think Web Packages and Signed Exchanges could have some usefulness outside of Google's caches. One of their spec examples was for verifiable web page archives. Another idea it could be used for a wifi "drop box" (drop station?) when there's no internet connection around. That isn't uncommon at some popular spots up river into the woods in the US.
The idea is that as people enter the area, they can update the drop station automatically for things like news or public posts with whatever they've cached recently.
I'm pretty sure I read about this idea before the spec was drafted but I couldn't find or remember the site, something like vehicle-transported data.
