Evolving threat 🚨 CVE-2026-111497, previously known to affect Node.js (node2shell) and Python has evolved into “HTTP2Shell.” A significant blast radius. This vulnerability leaves many libraries and applications using HTTP vulnerable to pre-auth RCE via Brotli decompression. Please be aware. Fixes not yet available for all affected services. Look for Brotli (1.2.1) dependency upgrades when they become available.

AI hasn't changed the fact that I can still spend a couple of days on a single PR. No matter how good the latest models are, they still suffer from tunnel vision and it's still on us to know when to take a step back and refactor
