Hot Take:

Just when you thought your data was floating safely in the cloud, along comes 'FlowFixation' to rain on your parade. AWS's Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) had a security hole you could drive a truck through, and cyber ne'er-do-wells were ready to hijack sessions and go on a joyride through your instances.
