JFrog’s Security Research team is constantly looking for new and previously unknown security vulnerabilities in popular open-source projects to help improve their security posture. As part of this effort, we recently discovered 5 security vulnerabilities in PJSIP, a widely used open-source multimedia communication library developed by Teluu. By triggering these newly discovered vulnerabilities, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution in the application that uses the PJSIP library.

Web applications are continuously evolving due to the hypo-velocity of code changes and stream of new features and functionality leaving businesses exposed to application security risks. A new wave of automated pen testing conducted through a software as a service delivery model can help reduce this risk by providing automated vulnerability findings in real time.

As technology folks, we are often under a lot of pressure to fix some deployed code, update an infrastructure component, or patch some code. Often it’s with little notice and needs to be done 5 minutes ago. The gamble with any “zero turnaround” is the rush to fix now vs. taking the time to test and check.

Adversaries are becoming more adept and sophisticated in their attacks. Taking advantage of vulnerabilities present in major software is often an attractive entry point for establishing a campaign within an enterprise environment. The CrowdStrike 2022 Global Threat Report highlights how adversaries continue to shift tradecraft and weaponize vulnerabilities to evade detection and gain access to critical applications and infrastructure.
