Arc Logistics — a mid-sized regional freight carrier — just launched their public shipment tracking site. The build team rushed to hit the Q2 deadline and merged a debugging branch the night before launch. Nobody asked what got left behind.

Disgruntled Employee

You're John Smith — you built TechCorp's employee portal yourself in 2020 and ran Engineering for three years. Then on December 19th 2024 HR pushed a demotion through with no warning. Sarah Johnson took your seat the same morning. The seams you left in the portal are still there.

Candy

Twilight Confectionery's third-gen owner Aurora wrote the staff portal herself "with a little help from an old book of spells." The book did not cover parameterised queries, file-upload validation, or path traversal — and the portal has been left to its own quiet, glittering devices ever since.

BugVault

You registered on BugVault three months ago. The admin panel sits behind a login wall and a Next.js middleware guard — no admin account, no escalation path. You've been reading CVE advisories. The question is whether this deployment ever patched the one that matters.

Slate Quarry Books has been the antiquarian shop on the green since 1971. The proprietor's nephew built a small website; the catalogue is public, but the shop's consignment ledger — who left what on consignment, what each consignor agreed to as a floor — was never meant to be.

Holloway

Margaret Holloway's tax firm portal accepts OFX/XML uploads for bank-statement reconciliation. Greta wrote the importer one snowed-in February in 2014 — the libxml flag pair came from a PHP manual page she had bookmarked at the time.

Mapleton

Maggie has shown Mapleton homes for thirty years. Her son Eli rebuilt the office website one weekend after PHP 5 came out — they've been swapping photos and prices on it ever since, but nobody's looked at the templating since the original Bush administration.

Millrace

A brewery site's debug pane echoes your user-agent. Maybe don't let you set that.

Overrun

Overrun's change-order endpoint authorises by parent project, but loads the child object by global id alone. Players who change one digit in the URL read change orders that belong to other project managers.

Headcount

Headcount's compensation report aggregation endpoint has a debug parameter that was never removed from production. The org chart reveals where to look.
