Is there such a thing as Spring4Shell?

Very early in the morning on March 30th (for me), my colleague DeveloperSteve posted a “Hey, have you seen this?” message in our slack channel. It was an “advance warning” of a “probable” remote code execution (RCE) in the massively popular Java Spring framework. I would come to find out that even earlier than that, the Snyk Security team started investigation a potential RCE in Spring after seeing a tweet that has since been deleted.

How CloudCasa Helps Organizations Address Data Protection Weaknesses in Kubernetes

In a recent episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sat down with Sathya Sankaran, Chief Operating Officer at CloudCasa by Catalogic, to discuss how the Kubernetes ecosystem is shifting and how CloudCasa is helping organizations address the data protection weaknesses in Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure and adopt these new technologies.

CVE-2022-23648 - Arbitrary Host File Access from containers launched by containerd CRI and its impact on Kubernetes

Recently discovered vulnerability - CVE-2022-23648 - in containerd, a popular container runtime, allows especially containers to gain read-only access to files from the host machine. While general container isolation is expected to prevent such access, in Kubernetes, it is especially dangerous because well-known and highly sensitive files are stored in known locations on the host.

How to Configure SSO for AWS Resources with Okta and SAML

This blog is part of a series on how to provide identity-based access to AWS resources. In the first tutorial, we saw how to set up an identity-aware AWS bastion host using the OSS solution, Teleport. In this blog, we will expand the scenario to use a single-sign-on (SSO) authentication mechanism to issue certificates to specific groups of users to access AWS resources.

Building a secure GraphQL API with Node.js

GraphQL provides security straight out of the box with validation and type-checking. However, it doesn’t fully address security concerns around APIs. In this article, we’ll learn how to secure GraphQL APIs by building a simple Node.js application using Fastify and GraphQL. According to its official documentation, GraphQL is a graph query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with our data.

Improving coverage of cloud resources to reduce infrastructure drift

As developers, we need maximum visibility of what’s actually running in our cloud environments, in order to keep them secure. Infrastructure as code (IaC) helps developers automate their cloud infrastructures, so what’s deployed to the cloud is under control and can easily be audited. But achieving and maintaining 100% IaC coverage of your infrastructure has many challenges.
