CVE-2022-33980: Interpolation-Based RCE in Apache Commons Configuration
A CVSS 9.8 flaw in Apache Commons Configuration 2.4–2.7 let default interpolators run script-engine expressions from untrusted config strings.
CVE-2023-36414: The Azure Identity SDK RCE You Should Patch
CVE-2023-36414 is a remote code execution flaw in the Azure Identity SDK for .NET. Here is how the injection works and which version closes it.
Reachability analysis for vulnerability triage
Only 10-30% of SCA findings are ever actually invoked by your code. Reachability analysis finds which ones, cutting patch backlogs without hiding real risk.
What CISA's Secure by Design Pledge Actually Requires
CISA's Secure by Design pledge asks 68+ vendors for measurable one-year progress on 7 goals. Here's what those goals mean for engineering teams.
Vulnerability fatigue and the case for risk-based prioritization
48,185 CVEs were published in 2025 alone. Most teams can't triage that volume — reachability and exploit maturity data show which ones actually matter.
CVE-2025-29927: inside the Next.js middleware auth bypass
A single spoofed header let attackers skip Next.js middleware entirely — CVSS 9.1, four major versions affected, exploited in the wild within days.
Why developers stop trusting AI-generated vulnerability fixes
Trust in AI-generated code fell to 29% in 2025, yet 84% of developers keep using it anyway — the gap is a UX problem, not a model problem.
The DevSecOps metrics that actually indicate program maturity
CISA's KEV directive now demands 3-day fixes for the riskiest bugs. Here's why raw finding counts are the wrong way to measure a DevSecOps program.
Reducing false positives in SAST and SCA tools
NIST benchmark data puts some SAST false-positive rates near 78%. Reachability analysis and contextual triage are how teams cut that noise without missing real risk.
SBOM-based blast radius analysis for vulnerable dependencies
An SBOM tells you what's inside one artifact. It takes a dependency graph across every service to know what breaks first when a library gets a CVE.
A prioritization framework for triaging security alerts at scale
Only 2.6% of CVEs tracked in 2019 saw real-world exploitation, per Kenna Security/Cyentia — yet most teams still triage by CVSS alone. Here's a better framework.
Best container registry vulnerability scanning tools
A practical look at container registry scanning tools — evaluation criteria, six real vendors compared fairly, and how Safeguard closes the supply-chain gaps scanning alone leaves open.
