OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities explained
A breakdown of all 10 OWASP Top 10 categories with real CVEs (Log4Shell, Equifax, Heartbleed) mapped to each, and stats on which risks hit production most.
What Are Open Source Vulnerabilities
Open source vulnerabilities explained: how flaws like Log4Shell and XZ Utils spread through dependency trees, how Sonatype tracks them, and how to prioritize fixes.
CVSS scoring explained, and where severity scores go wrong
CVSS score explained through a real case where CVSS, EPSS, and KEV disagreed, showing why severity alone misleads prioritization decisions.
PHP security best practices guide
A practical PHP security best practices guide covering SQL injection, deserialization RCE, upload hardening, dependency risk, and real exploited CVEs like CVE-2024-4577.
How to secure Python Flask applications
Flask ships without built-in CSRF, headers, or session hardening. Here's how real CVEs like debug-mode RCE and cookie forgery get exploited—and stopped.
Securing Django applications from common vulnerabilities

Securing Next.js applications and middleware
CVE-2025-29927 let attackers bypass Next.js middleware auth with one header. Here's how that and three other real CVEs expose middleware, Server Actions, and caching.
Using Python libraries for secure network communication
A look at requests, urllib3, cryptography, and paramiko: real CVEs (Terrapin, header leaks), insecure defaults, and how to pin them safely.
Type-safe languages and their security benefits
Type safety eliminates entire CVE classes, not one bug at a time. Here's what the Microsoft, Google, and CISA data actually shows about the security payoff.
Securing Laravel PHP applications
CVE-2021-3129, leaked APP_KEYs, and Eloquent mass assignment still compromise Laravel apps in 2026 — here's how each attack works and how to close it.
Securing WordPress plugin dependencies
Real CVEs, a supply-chain hack that hit 360,000 sites, and bundled-library blind spots: what WordPress plugin security actually requires in 2026.
Securing self-hosted GitHub Actions runners
Self-hosted GitHub Actions runners trade GitHub's ephemeral isolation for persistent infrastructure access — here's how real incidents like CVE-2025-30066 exploited that gap.
