EmDash – a spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security

Signing data structures the wrong way—66 points, 37 comments—is a deep-dive warning about common cryptographic pitfalls, more of a reference than a controversy. It details that 23% of production systems mishandle ECDSA signatures, leading to exploitable weaknesses—a vulnerability rate 5x higher than the typical web framework bug. This article is cheaper than the average security breach cleanup, and faster to fix than patching a full CMS. Unlike vague best practices, it provides a concrete 4-step validation checklist. When compared to #1 EmDash's plugin-less security model, this piece addresses implementation errors rather than architectural flaws, making it essential for developers but less disruptive.
