Recently, a critical out-of-bounds vulnerability, assigned to CVE-2021-44142, was disclosed in Samba versions prior to 4.13.17. The Samba vulnerability carries a critical CVSS of 9.9 and allows attackers to remotely execute code on machines running a Samba server with a vulnerable configuration. The vulnerability was disclosed as part of the Pwn2Own Austin competition where researchers are challenged to exploit widely-used software and devices with unknown vulnerabilities.

Researcher Moshe Zioni from Apiiro, discovered a major software supply chain critical vulnerability - CVE-2022-24348 - in the popular open-source CD platform Argo CD. Exploiting it enables attackers to obtain sensitive information like credentials, secrets, API keys from other applications. This in turn can lead to privilege escalation, lateral movements, and information disclosure.

We’re almost two months from the disclosure of Log4Shell, and we here at Snyk couldn’t be more excited with the role we’ve gotten to play in finding and fixing this critical vulnerability that’s impacted so many Java shops. For starters, we’ve been able to help our customers remediate Log4Shell 100x faster than the industry average! How have we been able to achieve that?

DevOps has revolutionized how software is developed and deployed by introducing a more collaborative environment for development and bridging the gap between developers and operations. All the while ensuring flexibility to meet any consumer or market demands. However, it would be best if you implemented a proper DevOps lifecycle in your organization to take full advantage of all the benefits offered by DevOps.

Securing modern-day production systems is expensive and complex. Teams often need to implement extensive measures, such as secure coding practices, security testing, periodic vulnerability scans and penetration tests, and protections at the network edge. Even when organizations have the resources to deploy these solutions, they still struggle to keep pace with software teams, especially as they accelerate their release cycles and migrate to distributed systems and microservices.
