In October of 2022, a critical flaw was found in the SnakeYAML package, which allowed an attacker to benefit from remote code execution by sending malicious YAML content and this content being deserialized by the constructor. Finally, in February 2023, the SnakeYAML 2.0 release was pushed that resolves this flaw, also referred to as CVE-2022-1471. Let’s break down how this version can help you resolve this critical flaw.

Containerization is becoming increasingly common due to portability, ability to isolate application dependencies, scalability, cost effectiveness, and ease of use. The ability to easily package and deploy code has changed the way that organizations work with applications. But like with Windows servers years ago, or AWS today, any time one specific technology gains a significant portion of the market share, it becomes a target for attackers.

We love open-source software (OSS). Not only does it save time and effort, but it’s also incredibly rewarding to collaborate with other developers on major projects. Plus, it opens the door for innovation that otherwise wouldn’t be possible at this scale. However, with code comes responsibility, and so it’s imperative to understand the risk OSS libraries carry when we’re integrating them into projects.

I share a birthday with the Log4j event. However, unlike this event, I’ve been around for more than one year. On December 9th, 2021, a Tweet exposed a zero-day vulnerability in Log4j, a widely-used piece of open-source software. The announcement made headlines everywhere, and cybersecurity was suddenly put in the spotlight. It was a wake-up call for many because, in an instant, software that had been considered secure was suddenly at tremendous risk.

With a comprehensive AppSec program, you want to understand your entire development, security, and application footprint so you can roll out consistent tools and processes. As a result, only a portion of your applications are covered, leaving vulnerabilities unprotected. And blind spots are clouding visibility into risk reduction efforts, making it difficult to report on progress throughout your organization.

    Today, most organizations are in a race to deliver new, innovative software before their competitors. In turn, they have gone from bi-annual software releases to daily, hourly, or even by-the-minute releases. To keep up with these rapid deployments, security has had to shift from being a late-stage blocker, to an integrated part of the development process. Developers have been doing their best to implement these security measures, but since their performance is often tied to the rate of deployments, speed tends to take precedence. As a security professional, what are some steps you can take so that security doesn't take a back seat to speed?

    Veracode Security Labs shifts application security knowledge "left," earlier in the development cycle, through guided, interactive exercises that train developers to tackle modern threats in the evolving cybersecurity landscape and deliver secure code on time.

    Veracode delivers the application security solutions and services today’s software-driven world requires. Veracode’s unified platform assesses and improves the security of applications from inception through production so that businesses can confidently innovate with the web and mobile applications they build, buy and assemble as well as the components they integrate into their environments.

    Veracode’s powerful cloud-based platform, deep security expertise, and systematic, policy-based approach provide enterprises with a simpler and more scalable way to reduce application-layer risk across their global software infrastructures.

    The Veracode Solution:

    • Overcoming DevSecOps Challenges: Innovating through software holds many promises but also bears risks. AppSec programs often struggle with the same problems:
      • Some solutions are hard to manage and scale.
      • Developers are not empowered to fix security issues.
      • Security teams lack bandwidth to manage DevSecOps programs.
      Veracode addresses all of these challenges with a unique combination of automated application analysis in the pipeline, plus DevSecOps expertise for developers and security professionals, all delivered through a scalable SaaS platform.
    • Delivered Through SaaS: Our SaaS model delivers a better, more scalable service at a lower cost. Because we've analyzed over 10 trillion lines of code, Veracode is able to provide the fastest path to accuracy - without tuning. Our expertise is based on analyzing customer programs for over a decade.
    • Application Analysis: Veracode simplifies AppSec programs by combining five application security analysis types in one solution, all integrated into the development pipeline.
    • Developer Enablement: Most AppSec programs forget that there is only one team that can fix security findings: the development team. Veracode provides developers with security feedback in their IDE in seconds as they are writing code, helping them learn on the job.
    • AppSec Governance: AppSec programs can only be successful if all stakeholders value and support them. That’s why Veracode helps security teams to demonstrate the value of AppSec.
