What is EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System)
EPSS scores every CVE's real-world exploit probability. Here's how the FIRST.org model works, how it differs from CVSS, and how to use it to triage faster.
What is an Exploit
An exploit is code that weaponizes a vulnerability. Learn how exploits differ from CVEs, how attackers acquire them, and how to prioritize real exploitation risk.
What Does CVE Stand For? A Plain-Language Security Guide
CVE stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, the public catalog that gives every known security flaw a single, shareable name. Here is how the system works and why it matters.
Dependency Vulnerability Scanner: How It Works and What to Use
A dependency vulnerability scanner reads your lockfiles, maps every direct and transitive package to known CVEs, and tells you what to upgrade first. Here is how the good ones work.
Java LTS Versions Explained: What They Mean for Security
A Java LTS release gets years of patches instead of six months, which makes your choice of version a security decision as much as a feature one.
node-fetch: Vulnerability History and the Native fetch Upgrade Path
The npm node-fetch package served a decade of HTTP requests and picked up two notable CVEs along the way. Here is its vulnerability history and how to move to native fetch.
What Is a CWE? Common Weakness Enumeration Explained
What is a CWE in cyber security, how it differs from a CVE, and how the Common Weakness Enumeration turns one-off bugs into patterns you can prevent systematically.
undici npm: Security Review and Safe Usage
The undici npm package is Node.js's modern HTTP client and the engine behind the built-in fetch. Here is a review of its security history and how to keep npm undici patched.
What is Remote Code Execution (RCE)
RCE lets attackers run code on your systems remotely, often without login. Learn how it works, real CVE examples, and how to detect it before exploitation.
Reachability Analysis: Cutting Through CVE Noise to Find What Actually Matters
Why most CVEs in your dependency tree are not exploitable in your application, and how reachability analysis separates real risk from noise.
CVSS v4: What Changed and Why It Matters
CVSS v4 reworks how vulnerability severity is scored, dropping the confusing Scope metric and adding finer-grained inputs. Here is what actually changed from v3.1.
