> In March, researchers at vulnerability management company Tenable discovered a critical vulnerability in Microsoft’s Power Platform. The platform, which can be connected to Microsoft 365, Azure and other apps, enables organizations to analyze data, build applications and automate processes.
> The security hole was caused by “insufficient access control to Azure Function hosts, which are launched as part of the creation and operation of custom connectors in Microsoft’s Power Platform”.
> At KDE we make software for many different platforms. One of them is Microsoft Windows. But what if an application crashes on Windows? New tech enables us to track crashes right in Sentry! Time to learn about it.
> When an application crashes on Windows the user can submit crash data to Microsoft. Later KDE, as publisher of the app, can retrieve the crashes from there. This is the standard crash handling for the platform and it works incredibly well. What’s more, it means we don’t need to engineer our own custom solution for the entire process. So, that is all lovely.
> Alas, since we are rolling out a KDE-wide crash tracking system called Sentry it would be even nicer if we had Windows crashes in there rather than third party service. That is just what I’ve built recently.
> Crashes for our Windows applications now get imported into Sentry!
