Chemists develop test to track crucial edits to RNA
https://phys.org/news/2024-07-chemists-track-crucial-rna.html
Every writer needs a good editor. That's true for the publishing business, but it's also the case for living cells. Our cells create messages using the language of RNA to translate our genetic code into proteins. Those RNA messages are in constant need of editing to help avoid cancer and other diseases. That editing process is crucial for health, but it has always been impossible to observe in close detail—until now.

3 ways to get Remote Code Execution in Kafka UI
https://github.blog/security/vulnerability-research/3-ways-to-get-remote-code-execution-in-kafka-ui/
Kafka UI is a popular open source web application designed to manage and monitor Apache Kafka clusters. It is used mainly by developers and administrators to provide visual representation of the connected Kafka clusters. Some users may not be aware that in its default configuration, Kafka UI does not require authentication to read and write data. This results in many unprotected Kafka UI instances deployed in internal networks or even being exposed to the internet. It might not be seen as a major security issue, as the data exposed might be public or not sensitive at all, but it may open a door to the internal network.
