klooney··on Google API keys weren't secrets, but then Gemini changed the rules
> Retroactive Privilege Expansion. You created a Maps key three years ago and embedded it in your website's source code, exactly as Google instructed. Last month, a developer on your team enabled the Gemini API for an internal prototype. Your public Maps key is now a Gemini credential. Anyone who scrapes it can access your uploaded files, cached content, and rack up your AI bill. Nobody told you.

You can tell all the Microsoft executives use Macs at work.
klooney··on Kubernetes Remote Code Execution via Nodes/Proxy Get Permission
> nodes/proxy GET allows command execution when using a connection protocol such as WebSockets. This is due to the Kubelet making authorization decisions based on the initial WebSocket handshake’s request without verifying CREATE permissions are present for the Kubelet’s /exec endpoint requiring different permissions depending solely on the connection protocol.
