CVE-2023-46604: Critical RCE Vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ

On October 27, 2023, Apache published a security advisory addressing that a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability has been fixed in the latest updates for Apache ActiveMQ products, CVE-2023-46604. This vulnerability was rated with a maximum Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score of 10.0, as it can be exploited remotely by an unauthenticated threat actor in low complexity attacks.

Unveiling Java Library Vulnerabilities

During a recent customer engagement, we encountered an interesting situation. The customer had raised concerns about a Java XXE (XML External Entity) vulnerability that had left their developers puzzled. Notably, their Static Application Security Testing (SAST) scans consistently identified this as a potential vulnerability.

Securing symmetric encryption algorithms in Java

In our connected world, securing digital data has become an utmost priority. With the wide spread of Java applications in various sectors, from banking to healthcare, we must emphasize the importance of encryption. Encryption is converting readable data or plaintext into unreadable data or ciphertext, ensuring that even if encrypted data is intercepted, it remains inaccessible to unauthorized individuals.

A guide to input validation with Spring Boot

If you're a developer working with Java, you likely know Spring Boot, the robust framework that streamlines the development of stand-alone, production-grade, Spring-based applications. One of the many features it offers is Bean Validation, which is a crucial aspect of any application to ensure data integrity and improve user experience.

Using JLink to create smaller Docker images for your Spring Boot Java application

Containers bring new flexibility and agility to software development and deployment. However, they also introduce a new attack surface that malicious actors can exploit. A compromised container can give an attacker access to other containers and even the host system. Smaller images that contain fewer artifacts are already a great help in achieving a smaller attack surface.
