Let's Encrypt's 64-day TLS certificates arrive February 10 — test renewals from October 14
The certificate lifetime change is not a new CA or endpoint. It is a renewal-timing deadline for operators whose cron jobs assume 90-day certificates.

tinyjs fixes a string of capability escapes in its lightweight desktop runtime
A follow-up security fix shows why wrapper capabilities need path restrictions as well as origin checks: tinyjs 0.48.0 now confines direct PDF writes and requires user confirmation for other locations.
pg_plan_filter 1.0 lets PostgreSQL reject expensive query plans — but not hostile users
PostgreSQL operators gain per-statement and per-transaction estimated-cost limits across versions 14–18, useful for runaway reports and ORMs. The guard is disabled by default and can be bypassed by users allowed to change planner cost parameters.
pgx-bm25 1.0 brings ranked full-text search into PostgreSQL's index layer
The third-party pgx-bm25 1.0 extension gives PostgreSQL 17 and 18 native-index BM25 ranked retrieval with ordered scans and no external engine, but it is not built into PostgreSQL core and has important planner and RLS caveats.
PIE 1.5 turns PHP extension installs into repeatable multi-package deployment steps
PHP's official extension installer can now install multiple packages in one command and select missing project extensions without prompting. PIE 1.5 also improves attestation verification for its own updates.
Chrome 155 enables JPEG XL by default, moving the format toward mainstream web delivery
JPEG XL is leaving the experimental-browser niche. Chrome 155 now decodes it by default, but Edge, older installed browsers and Safari's partial feature set still require fallbacks.
Fitbit’s legacy Web API shuts down October 30 — integrations must move to Google Health API
Fitbit API integrations have less than a month to migrate. The replacement changes authentication and API surface, while Google is still restricting onboarding for new Health API projects.

OpenSSH 10.6 turns on hybrid post-quantum signatures and disables compression to cut side-channel risk
The release is more than routine maintenance. OpenSSH is changing cryptographic defaults, sacrificing some compression effectiveness for side-channel safety, and warning that AI-assisted security reports are pushing it toward a faster release cadence.
Shopify makes legacy offline-token migration recoverable for seven days
The migration is now much safer for background-only and bulk-installed apps: a timed-out direct conversion no longer automatically strands the store. The retry window is bounded and can end earlier after the issued pair is refreshed or another token acquisition supersedes it.
Paddle brings recurring Pix payments to SaaS subscriptions in Brazil
Brazilian customers can authorize Pix Automático mandates for Paddle subscriptions without a separate early-access application. The path broadens local-payment access for SaaS, while delayed renewals, fixed mandate amounts and re-authorisation requirements still create implementation caveats.
Shopify has cut off legacy Theme CLI authentication for password-protected stores
Theme developers using Shopify CLI 3.83.x and older against password-protected storefronts are now past the documented cutoff. Shopify requires 3.84.0 or later for these flows; the live changelog's September 23 date supersedes the earlier October 1 deadline in this dossier.

Cloudflare makes Python Workers GA — with Hyperdrive and first-class platform bindings
The Hyperdrive integration was the practical database unlock; the larger September 21 change is that Python Workers themselves are now GA. Cloudflare is explicitly positioning Python as a production language on Workers, with native platform bindings and framework support rather than an experimental compatibility layer.
GitHub adds credential inventory to its selective incident-response kill switches
GitHub’s credential-response story now has both discovery and containment: enterprise owners can export SSH keys, PATs, OAuth and GitHub App tokens with ownership, scope and last-use metadata, then use selective revocation rather than invalidating every credential a user holds.
The Events Calendar exposes 600,000+ WordPress sites to two comment-preview RCE chains
The dangerous detail is the delivery path: WordPress gives an unauthenticated commenter a moderation-preview URL for their own pending comment, and The Events Calendar can process attacker-controlled block markup from that preview before a moderator approves anything.
Cloudflare makes Unified Routing the default path for new WAN and Magic Transit networks
The GA matters less as a label than as an architecture boundary. New Cloudflare WAN and Magic Transit deployments are now recommended onto a single routing fabric spanning Cloudflare One Client, Tunnel, IPsec, GRE and CNI, while legacy routing lacks several of the newer traffic-steering capabilities.
WordPress 7.1.1 closes Click2Shell’s forced-theme-install path to code execution
Click2Shell turns a theme-preview parsing bug into a supply-path problem: an attacker can force official catalog code onto a site without the administrator choosing Install, then potentially reach executable pre-activation theme code.
npm v12 makes install scripts opt-in — while publishing automation gets a stage-only trust boundary
A new npm granular-token scope lets CI stage package versions without permission to publish them, extending npm’s broader move toward least-privilege publishing after its install-script, trusted-publishing and malware-gate changes.
GitHub Actions can now block who or what starts a workflow — and `pull_request_target` is getting a secure default
GitHub Actions now has enforceable actor and event rules before a workflow starts, plus a coming default block for a trigger that can expose repository secrets to untrusted fork code.
GitHub AI Scan no longer needs CodeQL default setup
The scanner itself is not the new part. The September 16 change removes the CodeQL-default-setup gate that GitHub’s July rollout originally required, making AI-assisted vulnerability detection easier to add to repositories with different code-scanning configurations.
GitHub has switched off SHA-1 HTTPS support — old Git and API clients can now fail
The deadline is no longer theoretical: browsers, Git HTTPS backends and API clients that still depend on SHA-1-era TLS algorithms can now lose connectivity to GitHub.com.
