As companies compete with how fast new features and products can be released on the digital market, a byproduct of DevOps could be the neglect of sufficient and consistent information security throughout the pipeline – yes that means from start to the next improvement. Sure, automated security testing in production is a given, but what about during build and testing in the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) Pipeline?

The simplest explanation is that the page takes a value and then creates a redirect to it. If /red.php?url=https://example.com created a redirect to https://example.com that would be a typical Open Redirect-vulnerability.

Inti was recently speaking at Detectify Hacker School, an event for customers where we have hacker talks and user cases presented to the audience. Afterwards our security researcher, Linus Särud, sat down with him for a hacker-to-hacker interview discussing how he got into bug bounty, his unconventional bug hunting ways and his take on why the European market is an ocean opportunity for bug bounty hunters.

For continuous coverage, we push out major Detectify security updates every two weeks, keeping our tool up-to-date with new findings, features and improvements sourced from our security researchers and Crowdsource ethical hacker community. Due to confidentially agreements, we cannot publicize all security update releases here but they are immediately added to our scanner and available to all users. This post highlights a few things that we have improved in the last two weeks.
