Athena's disclosures begin

Earlier this month, Dan wrote that the flood is coming and the pipes were already full: frontier models are finding vulnerabilities faster than the industry's disclosure and patching processes were ever built to absorb. Pouring findings faster into a system that's already backed up doesn't help anyone. You need a process that can take the volume, and you need to test it before the volume shows up. Today we start. We're disclosing the first 14 silent vulnerabilities processed through Athena: bugs already fixed at HEAD, some of them years ago, that never got a CVE and so never showed up in a scanner. All 14 are in Java projects: 1 critical, 1 high, 8 medium, and 4 low. The full list is in our public patch repository. If you're a Chainguard Libraries customer, remediated versions of every artifact are live in Chainguard Repository as of today. We picked this batch on purpose. None of them is a live zero-day. Anyone could upgrade to a fixed version upstream. A few are still serious if you're running an affected version, and we walk through four below. But the reason to start here is that acting on these doesn't step on anyone else's…
