Pushing Boundaries With Claude Code

Claude Code stormed onto the programming scene when Anthropic launched it in February of this year. It moved, what Andrej Karpathy has called “The Autonomy Slider” from around a three to a solid eight. What this means is that you can give Claude Code direction, it will come up with a plan to accomplish the desired outcome, and it will run for an extended period, taking multiple steps, evaluating it’s own decision making, and course correcting along the way, until it has accomplished the goal.

How To Find SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in WordPress Plugins and Themes

SQL Injection (SQLi), a vulnerability almost as old as database-driven web applications themselves (CWE-89), persists as a classic example of failing to neutralize user-supplied input before it’s used in a SQL query. So why does this well-understood vulnerability type continue to exist?
