<li><strong>Critical vulnerabilities in spree commerce expose user data</strong>: Two critical vulnerabilities were found in Spree Commerce, an open-source e-commerce platform. One allows unauthenticated users to access other guests’ personal information during checkout due to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR). The other lets unauthenticated users view completed guest orders with just an Order ID, bypassing token validation. Both flaws could lead to significant PII disclosure, and patches are available for various Spree Commerce versions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Fb8vvabWN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel updates QATlib and quietly drops sds program</strong>: Intel’s QuickAssist Technology (QAT) library, QATlib, received an update to version 26.02, introducing new APIs for zero-copy Direct Memory Access (DMA). This enhancement aims to boost performance by cutting down on data copying during memory transfers for cryptographic and compression operations. Meanwhile, Intel seems to have quietly dropped its “On Demand” Software Defined Silicon (SDS) program, which allowed customers to activate additional Xeon processor features via software licensing. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=LA5nVlV55&amp;id=LPtFvSMC9&amp;id=lJuyIXZKX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Chasing every new AI tool is counterproductive</strong>: The rapid pace of AI tool releases is creating pressure to constantly adopt new workflows, but chasing every new model or tool can be counterproductive. Developers are finding that sticking with a stable, effective workflow, even if it’s not 100% optimized, allows them to focus on building rather than perpetually tweaking. The truly valuable tools will prove their worth over time, while many trends will fade. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/KdyaFPF3t" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

It’s almost like blaming the new intern for the company’s financial woes. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BETrrdWq1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
