Why asset inventory should come before AppSec tooling

Only 17% of organizations can inventory 95%+ of their assets, and 69% have been breached through one they didn't know existed — start with the map, not the scanner.

Beyond vulnerability management: a risk-based approach to AppSec

Fewer than 5% of published CVEs are ever exploited in the wild, yet most teams still triage by raw count — here's the exploitability-first alternative.

Broken access control in Express: the OWASP #1 risk, fixed with middleware

Broken access control now shows up in 100% of tested applications, per OWASP's 2025 Top 10 — up from 94% in 2021. Here's how to close it in Express.

Browser extensions are the softest target in your stack

A patched Grammarly bug let any website steal a user's documents; a 2025 flaw in Anthropic's Claude extension enabled silent prompt injection. Extensions keep failing the same three ways.

Memory-Safety Vulnerabilities in C/C++: What Static and Dynamic Analysis Actually Catch

Roughly 70% of the CVEs Microsoft and Google's Chrome team assign each year trace to memory-unsafe C/C++ code — how static analysis, sanitizers, and fuzzers each catch a different slice of it.

C/C++ security in automotive software-defined vehicles

MISRA C:2025 now spans roughly 225 guidelines and explicitly covers AI-generated code — but memory-safety bugs still drive roughly 70% of the vulnerabilities patched in major C/C++ codebases.

Python code injection: eval, exec, and pickle explained

eval(), exec(), and pickle.load() can each hand an attacker a Python interpreter — CVE-2020-1747 shows how one unsafe deserialization call became a real RCE.

Command injection in Python: subprocess, os.system, and safe-by-default patterns

os.system() and subprocess.run(shell=True) both hand a string straight to /bin/sh — one unescaped semicolon is enough to run arbitrary commands.

CTF writeup patterns: serialization and cryptographic puzzles, decoded

CVE-2013-0156 let attackers RCE Rails by feeding YAML into a parameter parser — the same insecure-deserialization pattern CTF players train on every weekend.
