Hot Take:

If you thought impersonating celebrities on Twitter was the peak of social media chaos, Mastodon's high-severity vulnerability just said, "Hold my federated beer." CVE-2024-23832, the digital equivalent of a skeleton key, could've turned Mastodon into a masquerade ball where everyone is everyone else. Patching this bug is like playing whack-a-mole across a decentralized network, so let's hope all the admins are on their A-game and not just chilling with a "toot"!
