What Is Exploit-DB? Using the Exploit Database for Defense
Exploit-DB is a public archive of exploits and proof-of-concept code maintained by OffSec. Defenders can use it to understand exposure and prioritize patching.
Improper Restriction of Operations Within Memory Bounds
CWE-119 has topped MITRE's vulnerability rankings for years, from Heartbleed to WannaCry to the 2023 libwebp zero-day. Here's why it persists and how to catch it early.
Unsafe Rust code vulnerability patterns
RustSec advisories tied to unsafe code keep climbing. Here's how unsound FFI, transmute misuse, and unchecked indexing become real exploits.
Integer Overflow and Wraparound Vulnerabilities
A single wrapped integer minted 184B bitcoin, grounded 787s, and erased $900M from a crypto token. Here's how overflow bugs work—and how Safeguard catches them first.
Double-Free Vulnerabilities in C and C++
Double-free bugs let attackers corrupt heap memory and hijack control flow. Here's how they happen in C/C++, real CVEs, and how to catch them early.
Building an OSPO security governance model for license and vulnerability risk
77% of large organizations now run an OSPO, and 91% say it owns security issues — but most still track license and CVE risk in separate spreadsheets.
Security metrics and KPIs that actually indicate cloud program maturity
IBM's 2024 breach data puts the average breach lifecycle at 258 days — most cloud security dashboards can't even tell you your own exposure window.
CVE-2022-31692: how a forward dispatch bypassed Spring Security authorization
A CVSS 9.8 flaw let a single internal forward skip Spring Security's URL-based access checks entirely — here's the root cause and the exact config fix.
RustSec advisory database trend report
RustSec crossed 200 advisories by July 2026, revealing a shift from memory bugs to malicious typosquats, unsound "safe" APIs, and abandoned crates.
Memory Leak Vulnerabilities: Causes and Detection
Memory leaks aren't just a performance bug — from Heartbleed to Samba's CVE-2018-16851, they're a documented attack surface. Here's how they're caused, scored, and detected.
Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerabilities
A single unchecked pointer can crash a server. Here's what null pointer dereference vulnerabilities are, real CVEs like OpenSSL's, and how to catch them.
Uncaught Exception Security Risks
An uncaught exception isn't just a crash: it caused the Equifax breach and Log4j outages. See how exception-handling bugs become real security incidents.
Self-healing security runs on Safeguard.
