Hot Take:

Well folks, it looks like AWS's Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow just got an unexpected feature: the "Hack Me Now" mode. Thanks to a vulnerability lovingly named FlowFixation, hackers could have had a field day session-jacking and code-crunching through the clouds. But don't worry, the digital storm is over. AWS patched the leak faster than you can say "oopsie-daisy in the cloud infrastructure."
