IBM Patches webMethods Integration Server Flaw Allowing 2FA Backup Code Authentication Bypass

IBM disclosed CVE-2026-118904, affecting webMethods Integration Server 12.1, on November 3, 2026. The flaw stems from improper validation of backup codes used in two-factor authentication, allowing an already-authenticated remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. IBM rates it 8.1 on the CVSS scale, with high confidentiality and integrity impact, and recommends applying IS_12.1_Core_Fix1 or later via webMethods Update Manager. The vendor's bulletin does not describe the precise validation error or report any public exploitation. Security analysts advise reviewing logs for suspicious successful access and backup-code use, and verifying that recovery codes are properly rejected after patching.

How the .NET compiler wires up ModuleInitializer methods, read from decompiled IL

A method marked with ModuleInitializer runs before any other code in an assembly, yet the runtime does not invoke the attribute directly. Decompiling the assembly reveals a static constructor on the reserved module pseudo-type that calls the initializer on the program's behalf. The initializer must be static, parameterless, void, non-generic, and accessible to the module, or the compiler rejects it. The article uses a simple example that sets a readiness flag to show the generated constructor and its IL metadata. It also explains how the free Glass.NET decompiler maps this synthesized code back to the original attributed methods using static analysis alone.

How to Scrape Goodreads with Node.js: Ratings, Reviews, and Author Data in 2026

Goodreads has stopped issuing new developer API keys and plans to retire its public API, so new projects have no official route to its ratings or reviews. The article notes that Goodreads' Terms of Use prohibit data mining and scraping, so readers should review those terms and weigh the legal risk before using any scraping approach. It suggests alternatives such as exporting your own library data from Goodreads or using the Open Library API, which has far fewer ratings. For Goodreads-specific data, the author presents a dependency-free Node.js script that reads the Apollo GraphQL cache embedded in book pages to fetch book details, rating distributions, reviews, author lists, and rating snapshots. The tutorial was tested in November 2026 on Node 24.22.1 and requires Node 22.13 or later.
