Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
VAPT tools are the software used to run vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. Here is what belongs in the toolkit, how the categories differ, and how to pick the right tool for the job.
The right code security scanner depends less on which vendor's marketing sounds best and more on language coverage, false-positive rate, and whether it fits into the workflow developers already use.
A build artifact is the packaged output your build process produces from source code. Here is why artifacts are a critical supply chain checkpoint and how to verify their provenance.
CVE-2021-32803 allows crafted symlinks in tar archives to make node-tar write files outside the extraction directory via malicious npm packages.
Pickle deserialization lets attacker-controlled data execute arbitrary code on load. Here's how the exploit works, real CVEs, and how to fix it.
Nine incidents in eight weeks: a PyPI worm, typosquatted payment SDKs, jscrambler, AsyncAPI, Hugging Face, Polymarket, Nx Console, Medtronic, AdaptHealth. Nine different vectors, one prize — credentials sitting in developer environments and build pipelines. If you fix one thing this quarter, fix that.
3.8 million people notified by Medtronic. PII, PHI and insurance billing credentials exfiltrated at AdaptHealth after social engineering against a third-party contractor. Neither breach needed a software vulnerability — both needed a trusted outsider with a session.
A poisoned VS Code extension was live for eighteen minutes. In that window, auto-update pushed it into every developer environment with Nx Console installed — including a GitHub employee's device, leading to exfiltration of internal GitHub repositories. Your IDE extensions have no SBOM, no review, and a direct push channel to your engineers.
CVE-2021-32804 let crafted tar archives bypass node-tar path sanitization, enabling arbitrary file writes during npm package extraction.
