This article discusses a common issue in applications using GitHub OAuth for authentication: inadvertently overwriting a user's existing token with one that has fewer permissions. We'll explore how to ensure the application preserves the user's original, broader-scoped token when requesting narrower scopes during subsequent logins.
Many applications use GitHub
When auditing file system operations within an application, a common challenge arises when dealing with generic or placeholder file paths. These paths, often used during testing or initial setup, can trigger false positive alerts in audit logs, obscuring genuine security concerns. A recent update addresses this issue, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of our auditing process.
Sometimes, during development, placeholder values can inadvertently slip into the final application. This post discusses how we addressed such an issue in our vlog index page, specifically focusing on unresolved :app_name placeholders.
Unresolved placeholders are problematic because they present a poor user experience and can sometimes expose internal
We've all been there: a quick fix for an apparent issue, like an unresolved placeholder in a user-facing section. But what happens when the fix itself introduces more complexity than it resolves?
Recently, we addressed an issue where the :app_name placeholder wasn't being correctly rendered on the /earn hero section of our application.
Ensuring the security and integrity of published content is paramount. We've recently integrated a mandatory security audit step into our content generation and publishing pipeline to bolster these efforts.
AI-generated content offers numerous benefits, but also introduces potential security risks. It's crucial to implement safeguards to prevent
Modern e-commerce platforms often leverage promotional codes to drive sales and enhance customer experience. Integrating these codes seamlessly into the checkout flow is crucial for maximizing their effectiveness.
A well-designed checkout process should provide a clear and intuitive way for users to apply promotion codes.
Making content easily discoverable for AI search engines is crucial for broader reach. Here's how we improved the accessibility of our tenant portfolio content.
Our primary objective was to enable AI search engines to easily discover and consume tenant portfolio content. This involved providing machine-readable endpoints that expose content in a structured and easily parsable manner.
When dealing with multi-tenant applications, handling tenant removal gracefully is crucial for user experience and data integrity. This post discusses a strategy for tenant dissolution with a focus on minimizing disruption and providing users with options.
In a multi-tenant system, deleting a tenant can have significant implications for its users.
When presenting data to users, accuracy and clarity are paramount. This post addresses a recent adjustment made to improve the transparency of data displayed within our application, specifically concerning aggregated statistics.
Initially, our application displayed aggregate counts of items, such as commits and code reviews, with the label
During a recent update, we encountered an issue where partial failures during data synchronization could lead to data loss. This post details the problem and the solution implemented to ensure data integrity.
Our application relies on synchronizing data from an external source. The synchronization process involves fetching and updating various data points.
