Author here. I built ZeroQuarry, and I was considering deploying an open source link shortener or using a SaaS one. I googled around and then found iShortn, so ran the iShortn scan with it. I found a bunch of vulnerabilities, which I sent

Yeah, I think so. It's running on a pretty small VPS and I never implemented any caching. Should have thought about that before posting I guess. I see the CPU is currently pegged. I was able to get it to load at least 1 trip myself

What we've actually seen is a couple things that make this impractical "to just share a prompt". First, that nearly every major model still hallucinates a lot of vulnerabilities. Especially with temperature=0.7 as states in

I've been building a product ( https://zeroquarry.com ) that can use a variety of models for finding vulnerabilities. One of the things I've noticed is that the models will nearly always comply with some of this, but ho

I've been a long-timer Obsidian user with a number of plugins. Recently I launched ZeroQuarry (a product to scan code for security vulnerabilities) and pointed it at a number of Obsidian plugins. I was initially surprised to find out

I suspect so as well. I've been running my own security scanning software (disclaimer: now starting a company @ zeroquarry.com) for this, and from what I've seen there's a huge value in prompts + adversarial LLM review. Wi

We found a critical RCE in the popular Obsidian Tasks plugin. It's now been fixed, but wanted to let others know to update ASAP. A malicious markdown file can trigger the RCE

Sure, but there's a case I'm particularly aware of where one of the major cloud infrastructure providers was about to host a significant AGPL-licensed project without modifications because their lawyers had reviewed it and determi

Some things may be obvious to a lot of readers, but I want to spell things out explicitly because sometimes "OSS" etc have a lot of conflations. A license in the software sense is effectively the legal terms and conditions for usi

One thing I mention to folks that seem to think AGPL "protects you" against a major corporation incorporating your product into a SaaS product: it mostly doesn't. It isn't written about often, but it's the reason ma

Isn't the entire point of this post that many companies opt for flexible+future proof far too prematurely?

by eskibars 11mo ago
I agree in principal, but this whole post is lazy if it's AI-produced. There's certainly no original thought and as the comments mention here, most of the math is outright incorrect
