Last week, dozens of schools found out their certificate authority was being distrusted and they needed to replace all of their certificates in a few days. We wanted to know how we’d handle it if our own CA went away, and how long it would take. So we tried it with one of our other products. It has 6 certificates from Let’s Encrypt, deploying to 18 targets across Windows IIS, Linux nginx, Elasticsearch, and a mail server. Then we wargamed it: “Let’s Encrypt is being distrusted.

Resque 3.2.0 shipped on October 16 with a single change, listed under Security: resque-web now rejects state-changing requests that come from another site. Until this release, resque-web had no cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection at all. A page on any other site could submit a form to your dashboard and clear your failed jobs or delete a queue, as long as the browser it ran in could reach resque-web and was logged in to it. The fix is small and most teams can upgrade without touching anything.

This Apache ActiveMQ CVE guide is the maintained reference for every significant Apache ActiveMQ vulnerability: what it does, how it is scored, which versions it affects, which release fixes it, and whether it is being exploited.

When a CVSS 10.0 vulnerability is published, the expectation is that affected software gets patched within days. When it involves an open-source broker that processes business-critical transactions in enterprise environments, the expectation is that the security teams responsible for those brokers treat it as an emergency. “The attacks exploit a maximum-severity security flaw in Apache.

Starting Tuesday, October 27, a lot of university websites will open in Chrome to this. Chrome is distrusting a root certificate, emSign ECC Root CA - G3, after eMudhra generated CA keys as small as 4. Every InCommon certificate issued from eMudhra’s ECC chain since April chains to that root.

Let's Encrypt is cutting its certificate lifetimes in half, from 90 days down to 45 days by 2028. If your team still has a calendar reminder that says "renew the certs," this is the nudge to finally retire it. The change isn't purely a Let's Encrypt decision. It's part of an industry-wide shift driven by the CA/Browser Forum, and every publicly trusted certificate authority is heading the same direction.
