CWE vs. CVE vs. CVSS: The Vocabulary Every AppSec Team Gets Wrong
One CWE weakness class can spawn thousands of CVEs, and a single CVE can now carry two different CVSS scores at once — most teams still use the terms interchangeably.
The libwebp heap overflow that patched half the internet: CVE-2023-4863
One heap buffer overflow in a 15-year-old image codec forced Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Electron apps, and entire Linux distros to ship emergency patches within days.
CI/CD pipeline security vulnerability trends
CI/CD pipelines now hold the keys attackers want most. Here's what tj-actions, Ultralytics, and Jenkins CVE-2024-23897 reveal about the trend.
Outdated Software Components: Quantifying the Risk
Outdated dependencies sit in nearly every codebase. Here's what Equifax and Log4Shell reveal about the real cost of unpatched software supply chain risk.
GitHub Actions workflow injection vulnerabilities
How GitHub Actions workflow injection lets attackers hijack CI pipelines via untrusted input, real CVEs like CVE-2025-30066, and how to detect it.
Vulnerability Management for Beginners: From Alert Overload to Calm Control
Scanners are good at finding problems. Vulnerability management is the calmer discipline of deciding which ones actually matter and fixing them in order. Here is a friendly guide with a first workflow to try today.
How to Report AppSec Risk to Your CISO
CVSS measures severity, not risk — and a slide of 4,000 raw findings tells a CISO nothing. Here's how to translate scan output into decisions.
Why NVD alone is not enough: the case for multi-source vulnerability intelligence
NIST now fully enriches a fraction of CVEs — on April 15, 2026 it moved to a triage model that leaves most of 2025's 48,185 published CVEs without a timely severity score.
Insecure Hash Algorithm Usage in Application Code
MD5 and SHA-1 collisions were proven broken decades ago, yet they still power passwords, checksums, and signatures in production code today. Here's why—and how to find them.
AI Security Remediation FAQ: How AI-Authored Fixes Are Kept Trustworthy
How an AI can be trusted to fix security vulnerabilities — the role of reachability, validation, and human review in keeping AI-authored remediation accurate and safe.
False Positives in Security Scanning FAQ
Why security scanners produce so many false positives, what actually counts as one, and how reachability analysis and context reduce the noise. A practical FAQ.
