Oracle's October CPU has a 9.8 Oracle APEX flaw that needs no login. The same week, PHP2Shell hit almost every PHP site.
With AI, the gap between fix and exploit is now hours.

This week, with @phartenfeller GROUP BY 2 points at the second SELECT item by position, so reorder that list and the grouping lands on the wrong column with no error. Name the column instead. dbLinter flags G-3182 live.

Week 7 with dbLinter and @phartenfeller 👇
An APEX session length and idle time of 0 mean unlimited, so sessions never expire. Leave a browser open on a shared PC, and the next person walks in. Keep the defaults. dbLinter flags A-1410 live.

If you use uc-local-apex-dev you need one command to get to #orclAPEX 26.2: local-26ai .sh upgrade-apex (takes a few mins but runs without you having to do anything).
Run local-26ai .sh shrink-space to remove 26.1 after you validated everything works fine.
Week 6 with @phartenfeller and dbLinter 👇
Raising NO_DATA_FOUND for invalid input reuses a name Oracle keeps for missing rows, so a caller can't tell the two apart. Declare your own exception instead. dbLinter flags G-5070 live.

More on this soon, nice under the hood frontend changes in APEX 26.2.
We’ve created a Utility Framework that extends our utilities and brings the first phase of generative development to Universal Theme.
Think Tailwind-like, but built for and supported by APEX. #orclAPEX
Week 5 with @phartenfeller 👇
A WHEN OTHERS handler catches every error and moves on, so a real failure leaves no stack trace and no line, while the block reports success. Name the exception you expect instead. dbLinter flags G-5040 live.

👁️ APE 26.2 lets you swap raw Watchtower sensor headers like AT03 and VAL for custom, human-readable labels, so reports read like your data. Full walkthrough 👇

Week 4 with @phartenfeller & dbLinter 👇
Concatenate a table name into dynamic SQL, and a caller can append a UNION to read salaries. Send it through DBMS_ASSERT first so the input stays data. dbLinter flags G-9501 live.

Week 3 with @phartenfeller & dbLinter 👇
Running one UPDATE per row means a PL/SQL-to-SQL context switch every pass, and it drags as data grows. FORALL sends the batch in a single trip. dbLinter flags G-3210 live wllw.co/jwqLhe4bG

Week 2 with dbLinter & @phartenfeller 👇
Deleting a parent row causes Oracle to full-scan the child table and lock it while writers wait. The cause: an unindexed foreign key. Rule G-1240 lists every one across your schema wllw.co/ErigT0FbT
#orclapex #orcldb
New weekly dbLinter series from @phartenfeller:
A query asks for the top 5 earners and quietly returns the wrong 5. ROWNUM runs before ORDER BY. dbLinter flags it as you type in VS Code.
