Hot Take:

Just when you thought it was safe to dive back into the data pool, along comes another shark - the CVE-2023-22518, a.k.a. "The Confluence Confusion". This one's got bad intentions, folks. It's targeting Confluence Data Center and the Server, and it's not just a case of "knock, knock, who's there?" It's more like "smash and grab". Atlassian's on the case, though, issuing a security advisory faster than you can say "unauthorized access". But don't sit back with your popcorn just yet, it's time for some serious patching and mitigation.
