Security Is So Boring
After getting Fact Dump to a stable, usable state, I needed a break from focusing on one single thing. So, I thought it would be a good time to patch some potential security vulnerabilities across all of my sites.
FartDump along with all of my other sites were originally built on top of the Wisedocks CMS. It was the original blogging CMS that I built a few years ago. The plan was to build it out in one place then I could push updates to all of my sites at the same time.
That quickly fell to the wayside as each website went off in different directions. Each sites code is so different now that saying they are all built on the same software is simply not true anymore. This strangely hurts and helps security in a way.
It hurts because I could leave a vulnerability in one site and not know about it until its found. It helps because the other sites would probably not be affected by it.
It sucks because now I have to go through about 186,000 lines of code to find these potential problems. That is what has been happening on my end.
