AI brief

Datasette 0.65.5 was released with a security fix for a bug where a trailing newline in a requested table name could bypass table permissions and expose private rows.

Why it matters: The flaw let a crafted table name circumvent permissions and reveal private rows, so users of the affected versions should update.
