004 - Peter announces Pushin.eu, Oban 2.24, and Ash CVEs
## FOLLOW UPS
- Steffen Deusch — Phoenix gets security patches going back 4 versions (1.5 to 1.8)
https://bsky.app/profile/steffend.me/post/3mthapcxlwk2v
- "Apps using old Phoenix should still update, for sure, but not necessarily for security reasons"
- "As a general note: a common misconception is also that people think they have to copy whatever changes we did to the generators. That's not the case. You can
of course do that, but it's in no way a requirement to update to later Phoenix versions. It's 1.x, so updates are generally non-breaking."
