How we found a Prototype Pollution in protobuf.js

Aug 14, 2023 By Code Intelligence In Code Intelligence
Our colleagues Peter Samarin, Norbert Schneider and Fabian Meumertzheim recently built a new bug detector enabling our JavaScript fuzzing engine Jazzer.js to identify Prototype Pollution. This work is now bearing its first fruits: As part of our ongoing collaboration with Google’s OSS-Fuzz, Jazzer.js recently uncovered a new Prototype Pollution vulnerability in protobuf.js (CVE-2023-36665). This finding puts affected applications at risk of remote code execution and denial of service attacks.

The Risks of AI-Generated Code

Aug 9, 2023 By Sergej Dechand In Code Intelligence
AI is fundamentally transforming how we write, test and deploy code. However, AI is not a new phenomenon, as the term was first coined in the 1950s. With the more recent release of ChatGPT, generative AI has taken a huge step forward in delivering this technology to the masses. Especially for development teams, this has enormous potential. Today, AI represents the biggest change since the adoption of cloud computing. However, using it to create code comes with its own risks.

We benchmarked top SAST products, and this is what we learned

Jul 13, 2023 By Guillaume Montard In Bearer

When we started to build Bearer, we wanted to understand how to validate the quality of our findings and be able to benchmark it. Code security scanning solutions are notorious for reporting a lot of false positives and other deficiencies, and even though we believed we could do much better, we needed a way to prove it. In Java, there is an OWASP project, BenchmarkJava, which makes it easy to compare the output of two software security solutions.
