Implementing adequate software supply chain security is a challenging feat in 2023. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated, and the growing complexity of modern applications makes them difficult to defend. We’re talking microservices, multi-cloud environments, and complex workflows — all moving at the speed of business. To address these challenges, the Snyk team organized two roundtable discussions, one held in North America and the other in EMEA.
When a major security event like SolarWinds or Log4j happens, how do you assess the impact across your third-party supply chain? Most organizations struggle to effectively react to zero day attacks and other critical vulnerabilities at scale, often following manual and cumbersome workflows. But our latest capability is here to change that.
It's early in the morning on an unseasonably warm Tuesday in October. You're checking your email as you enjoy your first cup of coffee or tea for the day, and you almost do a spit-take when you read that OpenSSL has a forthcoming release to fix a CRITICAL vulnerability. Immediately, visions of Heartbleed pop into your head.
Towards the end of 2020, a new vulnerability in MongoDB was found and published. The vulnerability affected almost all versions of MongoDB, up to v4.5.0, but was discussed and patched appropriately. The vulnerability, CVE-2020-7928, abuses a well-known component of MongoDB, known as the Handler, to carry out buffer overflow attacks by way of null-byte injections.
