Comment on Anyone Can Push Updates to the DOGE.gov Website

“Basically, doge.gov has its codebase, probably through GitHub or something,” the other developer who noticed the insecurity said. “They’re deploying the website on Cloudflare Pages from their codebase, and doge.gov is a custom domain that their pages.dev URL is set to. So rather than having a physical server or even something like Amazon Web Services, they’re deploying using Cloudflare Pages which supports custom domains.”

I understand several of those words.

  Most websites run off of a server. They’re just using a “repeater” (CloudFlare Pages) to serve directly off of their Github or whatever which is sort of top-shelf slapdashery.
  
  Not serious. Not competent.

    What’s sloppy about it? Plenty of blogs and other static sites work that way. In fact, that’s largely how we do deployments at my company, we merge to a special branch and it triggers a deployment.

    Well, it’s sloppy for a government website. This is not a private enterprise running out of someone’s garage. There’s many reasons why that should not be an acceptable paradigm for posting government information.
    
    If you’re running a sandwich shop or a metal working shop, posting your phone number and address through CloudFlare Pages is probably fine.

    Yeah I think the static page thing was just there to illustrate how the coders reverse engineered the api and saw what was getting called.
    
    I agree static content alone on CF isn’t “bad”. This perfectly illustrates why you have to have your API shit together when you go with this approach.

    I understood almost none of that and that still makes me smarter than Musky.
