We’re excited to announce a new Snyk AppRisk integration with Orca Security that brings the best of two worlds together: developer-loved, security-trusted application security from Snyk and leading cloud security from Orca. This integration is big news for organizations looking to align with DevSecOps and enhance collaboration between development and security teams.

With the recent release of Ubuntu 24.04, we at Snyk Security Labs thought it would be interesting to examine the latest version of this Linux distribution to see if we could find any interesting privilege escalation vulnerabilities. I’ll let the results speak for themselves: During our research, we successfully identified a privilege escalation from the default user on a fresh Ubuntu Desktop installation to root.

Advanced biometrics. Seamless onboarding walkthroughs. Cross-platform integrations. Hyper-personalized dashboards. Cleanly designed reports. These are just some of the features today’s users expect from their financial applications, pushing most financial institutions to release them quickly — or risk being outpaced by FinTech disruptors who already do. As a result, development teams must build more quickly, adopting new technologies to stay in step with demanding goals and tight deadlines.

When it comes to web development, PHP is a widely used scripting language. With its popularity, it is crucial to understand the potential security risks associated with PHP and the measures to mitigate them. Whether you deploy CMS applications using WordPress or build enterprise applications with the Laravel PHP framework, the importance of PHP security and the business impact of some notable PHP interpreter vulnerabilities are crucial for developers to get right.
