CAPTD adds Get Clients captions, place recognition, and a theme switcher

CAPTD this week rolled out a new "Get clients" caption option alongside "Tell the story" across its Snapshot, Video, and Slideshow workspaces, with structured business details and call-to-action placement. Photos lacking GPS data are now automatically assessed for location using a downscaled upload and Gemini flash-lite, so place suggestions appear during caption generation. The platform also introduced light, dark, and system theme options across all pages, alongside a privacy update featuring cookieless aggregate analytics and locally hosted fonts. The Marketing workspace was renamed Spotlight, and its Episode mode now accepts audio uploads with transcription and chapter generation. Additional camera settings guides for the Canon R5 Mark II and Nikon Z9 were also published.

Checklist for Verifying an Unauthenticated RCE in a Nextcloud File-Sync Stack

A DEV Community guide sets out a reusable checklist for handling an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-110447, in self-hosted file-sharing software. The vulnerable code sits in proxy.php, delivered by the optional richdocumentscode app rather than core Nextcloud or standalone Collabora servers. The authors recommend scoping exposure with component-specific searches restricted to an organization's own address ranges, then closing gaps external scans miss through configuration data. Administrators should also search for exploit artifacts such as shx*.php files and review logs for attempted requests and known attacker addresses. The checklist is intended to produce a defensible verification sequence rather than an affected-host count.

Testing Google Docs resume PDFs with an open-source parser: ligatures, page breaks and a missing name

A resume template maker tested how a parser reads PDFs exported from Google Docs, aiming to see which fields are extracted correctly. Since no public way exists to test against applicant tracking systems like Workday or Greenhouse, the team used a pinned open-source parser from OpenResume, pdfminer.six for raw text, and python-docx for Word exports. The test automatically downloads each template as PDF and DOCX through Google Docs' public export URL and records file hashes so reruns can confirm the same input. To run OpenResume's parser outside the browser, the team re-implemented the PDF-reading step and stubbed out rendering-only classes. Expected output was built from source content, and comparisons normalize text before matching field by field and bullet by bullet.
