Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rhodes keys humming low, let me break it down slow
Twenty-fifteen, five-four-seven-seven, BIND's the name you know
ISC server handling names, turning words to addresses
But feed it crooked TKEY queries, watch it choke on messes
Data processing errors, server just goes quiet
Remote attacker, zero access, starts a silent riot
Denial of service, phones ring, requests drown
DNS the backbone of the net, you knock it, sites go down

[Chorus]
Patch notes, read 'em, don't just scroll past
October eleven, these vulnerabilities don't last
BIND and Struts and Strapi, three names, one lesson plain
Old bugs still bite you, close the gap, kill the pain

[Verse 2]
Now slide to twenty-sixteen, Apache Struts in play
Command injection creeping in a sneaky kind of way
Dynamic Method Invocation, feature meant for ease
Attacker crafts a method prefix, server drops to knees
That input gets treated like a command, not just text
So remote code execution's the attacker's next
No login needed, just a crafted web request
Full arbitrary code running, server's compromised and stressed

[Chorus]
Patch notes, read 'em, don't just scroll past
October eleven, these vulnerabilities don't last
BIND and Struts and Strapi, three names, one lesson plain
Old bugs still bite you, close the gap, kill the pain

[Verse 3]
Strapi now, year twenty-three, two-two-eight-nine-four on the sheet
Cleartext storage, sensitive info laid out on the street
Someone's got admin panel access, maybe not the boss
Query filter opens drawers, user secrets at a loss
Emails, tokens, details sitting plain without a lock
Insider threat or stolen session turns into a shock
It ain't flashy, no remote code, no server-wide collapse
But trust erodes when private data falls through open gaps

[Verse 4]
Think it's just old software, ancient history, done?
Every stack you're running could be hiding bug number one
CVEs don't care how big your company, how slick your brand
A missing patch in production, that's a house built on sand
Scanners sweep the servers, logs light up red and bright
Security's not a one-time fix, it's a daily fight
Train your team, review your code, don't wait for the alarm
'Cause the next zero-day is loading, quiet, poised to harm

[Bridge]
Three different flaws, three different years,
Same old story told through server tears,
Patch the query, cage the method call,
Encrypt what's quiet, lock it up for all

[Chorus]
Patch notes, read 'em, don't just scroll past
October eleven, these vulnerabilities don't last
BIND and Struts and Strapi, three names, one lesson plain
Old bugs still bite you, close the gap, kill the pain

[Outro]
Five-four-seven-seven, three-oh-eight-one, two-two-eight-nine-four,
Write 'em down, patch your systems, don't leave the back door
Today's news is a warning wrapped in a Rhodes piano hum
Stay patched, stay humble, the next CVE's gonna come
