How to Find Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities with Fuzzing

Remember Log4j? Arbitrary code execution bugs are more common than you think, even in memory-safe languages, like Java. Learn how to find these vulnerabilities with fuzzing. Arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities represent one of the most dangerous classes of vulnerabilities in Java applications. Incidents such as Log4Shell clearly demonstrate the impact of these security issues, even in memory-safe languages. They also show that fuzzing can be very effective in finding these vulnerabilities.

Uncovering Hidden Bugs and Vulnerabilities in C/C++ | How to Fuzz Your Code With 3 Commands

CI Fuzz CLI is an open-source solution that lets you run feedback-based fuzz tests from your command line. Every developer can use it to find bugs and vulnerabilities with three simple commands. In this stream, I will demonstrate: 1) How to cover the current state of fuzz testing 2) How to set up CLI fuzzing within 3 commands 3) How to uncover multiple bugs and severe memory corruption vulnerabilities

Stranger Danger: Your JavaScript Attack Surface Just Got Bigger

Building JavaScript applications today means that we take a step further from writing code. We use open-source dependencies, create a Dockerfile to deploy containers to the cloud, and orchestrate this infrastructure with Kubernetes. Welcome - you're a cloud native application developer! As developers, our responsibility has broadened, and more software means more software security concerns for us to address.

Phony PyPi package imitates known developer

Snyk Security Researchers have been using dynamic analysis techniques to unravel the behaviors of obfuscated malicious packages. A recent interesting finding in the Python Package Index (PyPi) attempted to imitate a known open source developer through identity spoofing. Upon further analysis, the team uncovered that the package, raw-tool, was attempting to hide malicious behavior using base64 encoding, reaching out to malicious servers, and executing obfuscated code.
