A Google remote procedure call (gRPC) is Google’s open source version of the remote procedure call (RPC) framework. It’s a communication protocol leveraging HTTP/2 and protocol buffer (protobuf) technologies. gRPC enables a remote client or server to communicate with another server by simply calling the receiving server’s function as if it were local. This makes communicating and transferring large data sets between client and server much easier in distributed systems.
Today we’re announcing a new container security cheat sheet and report — created in collaboration with our partner Sysdig. Download cheatsheet In this post, we’ll outline tips to help you successfully navigate the challenges of container security with a focus on three core principles: Traditional security approaches are incapable of handling the distributed and ephemeral nature of containers.
Distributed containerized systems compose applications, resources, services, databases, and other artifacts. These components often need sensitive information such as user keys, passwords, API keys, and certificates to function properly. Secrets management is critical for adequately handling sensitive information and Kubernetes deployments often utilize their built-in Secrets resource type and associated RBAC controls but what if you aren’t deploying on Kubernetes?
Drupal is a popular content management system (CMS) that leading corporations and government agencies use for mission-critical applications. With a supportive community of developers, robust security, multilingual support, compliance with WCAG guidelines, and ease of integration, Drupal is a go-to CMS.
One of the main goals for this research was to explore how it is possible to execute arbitrary commands even when using a safe API that prevents command injection. The focus will be on Version Control System (VCS) tools like git and hg (mercurial), that, among some of their options, allow the execution of arbitrary commands (under some circumstances). The targets for this research are web applications and library projects (written in any programming language) that call these commands using a safe API.
Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC) is one of the most popular products worldwide that helps service providers deliver trusted, carrier-grade, real-time communications such as VoLTE, VoIP, video conferencing and calling, presence, IM, and IPTV. Harold Zang, Senior Technical Security Specialist and Jeremy Nunn, Security Specialist at Trustwave SpiderLabs, identified three vulnerabilities in the Oracle SBC.
The introduction of mobile devices has rapidly changed the world as we know it, as these small gadgets that are intended to fit into the palm of our hands rapidly gained dominance over our day-to-day activities. Thanks to these portable devices, we now have access to an abundance of information available to us on demand with minimal effort.
