The xercesImpl Maven artifact turns up transitively in thousands of Java builds. Here is its real CVE history, why XXE is your configuration's fault, and the hardening block to paste.
SAST stands for Static Application Security Testing — analyzing source code for vulnerabilities without running it. Here is what the term means, how it works, and where it fits alongside DAST and SCA.
Software security testing spans static analysis, dynamic testing, dependency scanning, and manual review — a practical map of which method catches what, written for people who actually run these programs.
