Code snippets copied from copyleft-licensed open source projects represented the biggest risk in software 15 years ago. The Heartbleed vulnerability, discovered in April 2014, brought to the fore concerns about the security of open source components, and license risk took a bit of a back seat. But the problem never went away. Now, the advent of Generative AI as a tool for writing software is shining a new light on the issue.

IoT devices are ubiquitous in our daily lives—whether it’s at home with connected home automation devices, or at work with connected factories, hospitals, and even connected cars. According to data-gathering and visualization firm Statista, there was an estimated 15.9 billion IoT devices in use in 2023, and that number is expected to climb to more than 32.1 billion in 2030.

Generative AI has emerged as the next big thing that will transform the way we build software. Its impact will be as significant as open source, mobile devices, cloud computing—indeed, the internet itself. We’re seeing Generative AI’s impacts already, and according to the recent Gartner Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence, AI may ultimately be able to automate as much as 30% of the work done by developers.
The Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC) has exposed prompt injection vulnerabilities in the EmailGPT service. EmailGPT is an API service and Google Chrome extension that assists users in writing emails inside Gmail using OpenAI's GPT models. The service uses an API service that allows a malicious user to inject a direct prompt and take over the service logic. Attackers can exploit the issue by forcing the AI service to leak the standard hard-coded system prompts and/or execute unwanted prompts.
The Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC) has exposed a data poisoning vulnerability in the EmbedAI application. EmbedAI allows users to interact with documents by utilizing the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). This vulnerability could result in an application becoming compromised, leading to unauthorized entries or data poisoning attacks.

A necessary step in securing an application is evaluating the supply chain of each component used to create the application—no matter how many hands were involved in its development. If any links in the supply chain are obscured, it can be difficult to confidently assess the amount of risk that an application is susceptible to.

You've realized you need to do a better job of tracking and managing your open source as well as the vulnerabilities and licenses associated with it. How hard can vulnerability management be? Do you really need special tools? After all, the license and vulnerability information is publicly available. Once you get a list of open source components and do some Google searching, you should be all set, right?

More than 11.5 billion records with sensitive information were breached between January 2005 and January 2019 (PrivacyRights.org). If your business stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data, it's imperative that you implement standard security procedures and technologies to prevent the theft of this sensitive information. Start by ensuring you're in compliance with the technical and operational requirements set by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Just like most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly link to external web services via APIs. But developers using web services might not have a suitable agreement to do so, and they may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service. This white paper covers the types of risk associated with web services and how they can affect an M&A transaction.

Threat modeling promotes the idea of thinking like an attacker. It enables organization to build software with security considerations, rather than addresssing security as an afterthought. However, there are some very common misconceptions tha can cause firms to lose their grip around the threat modeling process. This eBook shines a light onto the essentials and helps to get your bearings straight with all things related to threat modeling.
