The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) program provides an information security compliance benchmark for companies that are handling, processing and storing cardholder data online. Software development and vulnerability management are covered in the PCI DSS compliance requirements as this concerns products and applications created to handle cardholder data.
For continuous coverage, we push out major Detectify security updates every two weeks, keeping our tool up-to-date with new findings, features and improvements sourced from our security researchers and Crowdsource ethical hacker community. Due to confidentially agreements, we cannot publicize all security update releases here but they are immediately added to our scanner and available to all users. This post highlights a few things that we have improved in the last two weeks.

Apache Struts is a well-known development framework for Java-based web applications that is mostly used in enterprise environments. If you search for Apache Struts CVEs on MITRE, you currently get 77 results, and most of the critical ones are due to OGNL expression injection, which is very similar to SSTI (Server Side Template Injection) attacks. In this article we will go through the security history of Apache Struts, common Apache Struts security issues and the impact of these vulnerabilities.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a common vulnerability that is carried out when an attacker injects malicious JavaScript into a website, which then targets the website’s visitors. By doing so, the attacker may gain access to users’ cookies, sensitive user information, as well as view and/or manipulate the content that is shown to the user. This is not another article explaining what XSS is, why it is a security issue and how to fix it because we have already covered that.
EdOverflow is known for contributing a bunch of stuff: active in the community, one of the people behind security.txt – a standard for structuring responsible disclosures, bug bounty hunter and a member of Detectify Crowdsource. We got a chance to quiz him about security.txt, his motivates for being involved with hacking communities and why he chooses to report to responsible disclosure programs without bounty rewards.
