Back in 2022 while browsing through lists of recently disclosed vulnerabilities, I happened upon some Adobe Commerce/Magento Open Source vulnerabilities , that were reported to be exploited in the wild and can be exploited to achieve remote code execution, a combination which always motivates me to take a quick look at the vulnerability.
Managing software security risk is a high-stakes race that’s getting harder to win. Enter Veracode Fix: the intelligent remediation solution that helps you pay down security debt at scale and deliver more secure software, faster, for less effort and cost.
AI coding is here, and it’s transforming the way we create software. The use of AI in coding is actively revolutionizing the industry and increasing developer productivity by 55%. However, just because we can use AI in coding doesn't mean we should adopt it blindly without considering the potential risks and unintended consequences.
Technology is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can make new experiences possible and elevate productivity. On the other hand, it introduces new threats and attack vectors; and it can widen the gap even further between our ability to produce software and our ability to secure it. Getting faster at creating and finding security flaws does not make us faster at fixing them; data shows us that one in four vulnerabilities remain open well over a year after first discovery.

In October of 2022, a critical flaw was found in the SnakeYAML package, which allowed an attacker to benefit from remote code execution by sending malicious YAML content and this content being deserialized by the constructor. Finally, in February 2023, the SnakeYAML 2.0 release was pushed that resolves this flaw, also referred to as CVE-2022-1471. Let’s break down how this version can help you resolve this critical flaw.
Staying ahead of the cyberattack curve in a constantly evolving world requires a comprehensive strategy. Today's release of the Biden-Harris Administration's National Cybersecurity Strategy provides an extensive roadmap for impacting both public and private security efforts. In this blog post, we’ll take an in-depth look at three of the most software-related strategic objectives: software liability, open-source software usage, and cybersecurity workforce readiness.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools present a significant opportunity for organizations looking to reduce application security risk. However, not all workflows or tools are created equal. Using the right SAST tools at the right times, you can seamlessly integrate and scale security workflows throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
