[Verse 1] IBM MQ's shaking hands with a stranger, TLS certificate, trust the messenger— But the name field's packed too tight, see, Distinguished name stuffed like an overfull valise. Stack buffer cracks under malformed weight, CVE twenty-six, twelve-six-six-five, don't wait, Eight-point-one on the severity scale, Channel connects, remote code gets to sail. [Chorus] Two gates cracked open on the twenty-fifth of fall, One in messaging, one that answers no call, Patch the queue, patch the gate before the fall, Critical Tuesday — read the whole report, that's all. [Verse 2] OpenSRE's got a presenter standing headless, No face, no eyes, just following the script, reckless, Built an approval gate, a guard to say "wait," Human checks the shell commands before they activate. But the flag that tracks permission never got flipped true, Legerdemain — a slick illusion pulled past you, Meaning the trick looks clean but the move's all wrong, Shell run commands fire off, no confirmation needed, not for long. Nine-point-eight CVSS, almost every point is spent. [Chorus] Two gates cracked open on the twenty-fifth of fall, One in messaging, one that answers no call, Patch the queue, patch the gate before the fall, Critical Tuesday — read the whole report, that's all. [Verse 3] Picture the admin at the console, coffee gone cold, Scanning the bulletin, watching the story unfold, Two separate stacks, two separate teams, Both trusted gatekeepers, both failing their dreams. MQ's been guarding queues for decades long, Never thought a name field would prove it wrong, And the AI framework, built to keep us safe, Learned that a boolean flag can misbehave. Memory's cheap but trust is never free, Every unchecked gate's a liability, So roll the patches out, across the whole fleet, Before some actor turns the exploit into defeat. Red team's already scanning, scripts in hand, Zero-day window, time to take a stand, Change logs open, read every line, A silent field overflow, a silent design flaw, a silent sign. [Bridge] One flaw hides in a handshake dense with data, One flaw hides in a checkbox nobody later, Different doors, same parlous situation, A gate unchecked is just an invitation. One speaks in buffers, bytes and overflow, One speaks in booleans, a flag that won't show, But the lesson underneath is one and the same, Every open door deserves a name. [Outro] Twelve-six-six-five, buffer breaks the frame, One-oh-nine triple-four, bypass is the name, Check your queues, check your bots today, October twenty-fifth — don't look away. [Chorus] Two gates cracked open on the twenty-fifth of fall, One in messaging, one that answers no call, Patch the queue, patch the gate before the fall, Critical Tuesday — read the whole report, that's all.
