As open source software development continues to evolve, so does its susceptibility to cybersecurity threats. One such instance is the recent discovery of malware repositories on GitHub. In this cybersecurity attack, threat actors managed to upload malicious code onto GitHub, a platform that hosts millions of code repositories and is used by developers worldwide.

The Marvin Attack, named after the vulnerability it exploits, poses a significant threat to systems relying on RSA encryption and signing operations. It's a variation of the Bleichenbacher attack, which exploits errors in PKCS #1 v1.5 padding to perform adaptive-chosen ciphertext attacks. The attack leverages timing information obtained from RSA encryption or signing operations.

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) recently released its revamped cybersecurity framework (CSF), aptly called NIST CSF 2.0. The CSF previously had five functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. With 2.0, there is now a sixth: Govern. While Snyk plays an important role in application security and governance, in this blog, we're going to look at the function Snyk Learn plays in CSF 2.0: Protect.

Not that long ago, AI was generally seen as a futuristic idea that seemed like something out of a sci-fi film. Movies like Her and Ex Machina even warned us that AI could be a Pandora's box that, once opened, could have unexpected outcomes. How things have changed since then, thanks in large part to ChatGPT’s accessibility and adoption!

A few years ago, REI embarked on its digital transformation and cloud migration journey, moving on-prem development environments to AWS. But, as REI’s development teams began this transition, their security counterparts noticed that application security just wasn’t keeping up. As a result, REI began another journey: identifying the right security tooling and cultural shifts for AppSec success.

Did you know that GitHub Copilot may suggest insecure code if your existing codebase contains security issues? On the other hand, if your codebase is already highly secure, Copilot is less likely to generate code with security issues. AI coding assistants can suggest insecure code due to their limited understanding of your specific codebase. They imitate learned patterns or utilize available context without providing judgment.

People, processes, and tooling all impact an organization’s ability to maintain a strong AppSec program. In a recent panel at Black Hat Europe, Snyk spoke with two customers — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Asda — about the unique challenges they face managing development teams, onboarding new security tools, and building a modern DevSecOps program throughout their organizations.

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a common vulnerability that can crop up unknowingly in any Node.js application. It poses a significant threat because attackers can manipulate a server into making unintended requests to both internal and external resources. This article will explore SSRF, its potential risks, and the strategies to mitigate SSRF in Node.js applications.

Did you know that up to 90 percent of modern software uses open source software? Often SecOps, AppSec and IT teams don’t have a complete view of their application security risk across the organization. The Snyk and ServiceNow integration efficiently finds, prioritizes, and tracks vulnerabilities in open source dependencies to get a complete view of your application security posture and drive smarter, faster fixes in ServiceNow workflows.

Applications are getting bigger and more complex. With sprawling software supply chains, distributed developers, AI-enhanced productivity, and more technology, deployment, and cloud options than ever securing applications is harder than ever. To enable fast and secure development in this new reality, AppSec needs a comprehensive, proactive approach — one that helps address what matters most to reduce risk. They need to implement ASPM to shift the AppSec paradigm.

Organizations at different stages of growth or maturity will have different challenges when adopting a modern DevSecOps program. In this session we talked with Mike Welsh, Lead Enterprise Security Architect DevSecOps, at JLR, and Ruta Baltiejute, DevSecOps Lead at Asda, about their differing approach to implementing a secure development model at their organizations. We discussed the significant differences between how they’re building software today, including their approach to change in People, Process and Tooling.

Container scanning tools, industry publications, and application security experts are constantly telling us about best practices for how to build our images and run our containers. Often these non-functional requirements seem abstract and are not described well enough for those of us that don’t have an appsec background to fully understand why they are important.

"Shift left" has become the holy grail for security teams today but organizations are still struggling to successfully implement some of the key processes that shifting security left entails. A new study sponsored by Snyk and conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) has found that while developers are indeed being given more responsibility for testing their applications for security issues, they simply don't have the knowledge or right set of tools to do so.

The 2020 Gartner Market Guide for SCA is here! Recent Gartner survey finds that over 90% of organizations leverage OSS in application development - and as a result, security of open source packages was the highest ranked concern for respondents. These concerns have led to a growing market, addressed by various vendors for SCA tools that mitigate the risk of OSS. New trends emerge with devops on the rise - as the market shifts towards developer-friendly SCA tools.
