When Startups Ask for Free Security Workhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45209615A few weeks ago, I explored [redacted], a YC-backed AI backend platform. Like many security researchers, I tend to poke at new tools to see how they handle common attack vectors.It didn’t take long to find issues, both in security and user experience.## The Vulnerabilities*Authorization Flaw*: [redacted] limits free users to 3 items, with a paywall for more. But their API doesn’t enforce this. Anyone can bypass the frontend and call the API directly.This classic flaw means free users can generate unlimited content, paid tiers lose value, and the business model collapses.*UX Problems*: The platform also has confusing navigation, inconsistent design, poor hierarchy, clunky workflows, and unclear onboarding. When the product experience feels this raw, security flaws are just another sign of neglect.## The ResponseI asked in their community channel about their disclosure process. The founder replied:“hi [name], i just saw your message on the general channel. right now, we are not hiring, bSep 11, 2025 9:43 AM

Launch HN: Recall.ai (YC W20) – API for meeting recordings and transcriptshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45199648Hey HN, we're David and Amanda from Recall.ai (https://www.recall.ai). Today we’re launching our Desktop Recording SDK, a way to get meeting data without a bot in the meeting: https://www.recall.ai/product/desktop-recording-sdk. It’s our biggest release in quite a while so we thought we’d finally do our Launch HN :)Here’s a demo that shows it producing a transcript from a meeting, followed by examples in code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4croAGGiKTA . API docs are at https://docs.recall.ai/.Back in W20, our first product was an API that lets you send a bot participant into a meeting. This gives developers access to audio/video streams and other data in the meeting. Today, this API powers most of the meeting recording products on the market.Recently, meeting recording through a desktop form factor instead of a bot has become popular. Many products like Notion and ChatGPT have added desktop recording functionality, and LLMs have made it easier to work with unstructured transcripts. BSep 10, 2025 4:00 PM

Show HN: Vizzly – Visual testing platform with built-in review workflowshttps://vizzly.devHey HN! I’m Robert. I worked on [Percy’s SDKs/support from 2018–2022.](https://github.com/percy/cli/graphs/contributors) If you ever reached out to support or opened an issue, I probably helped you. Hopefully it was positive :) After a few years away, visual testing still felt stuck, so I'm building Vizzly.The problem: Design handoffs kinda suck. Designers make beautiful specs, devs implement them, then everyone realizes the details got lost somewhere. Current visual testing tools catch broken CSS but miss the real issue - making sure what ships actually matches what was designed, functionally (like really in the browser/OS/etc).What it is- Visual testing + review where you send actual screenshots (not DOM re-renders). Can be _any_ image to review (PDFS!)- Collaboration built-in: reviewer assignment, approvals, @mentions, screenshot-level threads.- Baselines: automatic (Git-aware), manual (not Git-based), or hybrid.- Team-based pricing; generous free plan for OSS; on-prem available.WhaSep 7, 2025 3:44 PM

Show HN: Beelzebub (OSS) – MCP "canary tools" for AI agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45158776We’re open-sourcing a simple way to add “canary tools” to AI agents via MCP honeypots. These are functions your agent should never call during normal operation. If a canary is invoked, you get a high-fidelity signal of prompt-injection, tool hijacking, or lateralization—no heuristics, no extra model calls.What it is:- Go framework exposing decoy tools over MCP that look legitimate (names/params/descriptions), return safe dummy output, and emit telemetry when invoked.- Runs alongside your real tools; ship events to stdout/webhook or your pipeline (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK).Why it helps:Agent logs show what happened; canaries mark what must not happen. A single tripwire is an immediate, low-noise indicator of compromise.Real-world relevance (Nx attack):Recent reporting on the Nx npm supply-chain incident (“s1ngularity”) shows malicious versions exfiltrated SSH keys, tokens, and other secrets—and notably abused AI developer tools like Claude/Gemini in the workflow, one of the first documenSep 7, 2025 3:00 PM

Show HN: CrabCamera – Cross-platform camera plugin for Tauri desktop appshttps://crates.io/crates/crabcameraAfter building several Tauri desktop apps, I kept hitting the same wall: there's no reliable way to access cameras across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Every project meant reinventing camera integration, dealing with platform-specific APIs, and debugging permission issues. So I built CrabCamera – a Tauri plugin that handles all the camera complexity for you. What it does: - One API, three platforms: Same Rust code works on Windows (DirectShow), macOS (AVFoundation), and Linux (V4L2) - Permission handling: Automatically requests camera permissions on each platform - Format conversion: Takes care of the messy bits between platform formats and what your app needs - Error handling: Proper Rust error types instead of mysterious crashes - Hot-plugging: Detects when cameras are connected/disconnected The problem it solves: Before CrabCamera, adding camera support to a Tauri app meant: 1. Writing separate native code for each platform 2. Managing three different permission systems 3. Handling forSep 7, 2025 6:19 AM

Show HN: I built a free AI tool that makes a pdf fillablehttps://instafill.ai/tools/create-fillable-pdfSome PDF forms have no fillable fields. When opened in Adobe Reader, there are no fields to type into. This AI converter automatically adds fillable fields to the PDF, technically turning it into a form.Adding fields manually is a tedious process that nobody enjoys. This is the kind of work that should be automated.This AI PDF converter is free and capable of processing even long documents with dozens or hundreds of pages. For larger PDFs, it may take more time.It works best on PDFs created from Word documents. Please set the right expectations and be prepared to manually adjust any fields the AI might miss or place incorrectly. This can happen, especially with complex layouts.Sep 5, 2025 9:51 PM
