SaaC – Security as a Culture, the Distributed Advocacy
summary
Security fails most often from specific mistakes: predictable salts, secrets checked into logs or world-readable, directory‑traversal payloads, CSRF ignored at the backend (recreation.gov exploit found then fixed), Kubernetes tokens and tight coupling leaking cluster access, and Go servers run with InsecureSkipVerify. Practical fixes are: write black‑box test cases up front, run open‑source scanners and peer tests, treat TLS and secret handling as infrastructure not features, use tooling like Postman for replay tests, and build bottom-up advocacy so dozens of products avoid the same errors.
