Week Notes #8

Posted on . Tagged with: week-notes.

  • In other news, I published an Administrate security vulnerability this week. This is the first time I’ve gone through this process, which started a couple of weeks back with Benoit Côté-Jodoin from Shopify emailing us to let us know. I then ended up using an interview to pair on the potential solution and using GitHub’s new private fork functionality. All in all, the most difficult part of this process was writing up the advisory itself, making something clear and not accidentally withhold something important.
