On December 20, 2023, NIST updated a CVE to reflect a new path traversal vulnerability in struts-core. This is CVE-2023-50164, also listed on the Snyk Vulnerability database, with 9.8 critical severity CVSS. If you’ve been doing cybersecurity long enough, you remember the 2017 Equifax breach, which also took place due to an unpatched Struts vulnerability. In this post, I outline the issue, discuss its severity, walk you through a proof-of-concept exploit, and provide remediation advice.

Recently, Snyk hosted a wine tasting & customer discussion featuring David Imhoff, Product Security Leader at Kroger. The discussion focused on tackling the challenges of securing digital supply chains. Kroger is a retail giant with 2,700 stores and 400,000 employees. The organization faces unique challenges because it operates on such a massive scale, adding complexity to its software supply chain and security.

In this first in a series of articles looking at how to remediate common flaws using Veracode Fix – Veracode’s AI security remediation assistant, we will look at finding and fixing one of the most common and persistent flaw types – an SQL injection attack. An SQL injection attack is a malicious exploit where an attacker injects unauthorized SQL code into input fields of a web application, aiming to manipulate the application's database.

As people have grown comfortable with e-commerce and email correspondence, the techniques of scammers have become increasingly sophisticated and hard to detect. Many of us have heard of phishing attacks, in which bad actors coerce people into handing over sensitive information. These are usually carried out by impersonating a trusted third party – and overwhelmingly through email (Deloitte, 2020).

Googling your organization’s name will bring up all sorts of information. However, there’s more to the internet than the surface web that’s accessed through regular search engines: the deep web and the dark web. To stay ahead of potential threats and maximize incident response performance, security teams need a complete view of their organization’s presence across all areas of the internet.

Coming into 2023, we predicted that the economic downturn would fuel sophisticated fraud, the growth of serverless workloads will increase the attack surface, and there would be more MFA bombing attacks. As we look to 2024, Outpost24’s team of security experts have predicted the emerging threats that will shape the cybersecurity landscape. Dark AI tools, and a shift in security priorities are some of the challenges that organizations will face.

In the dynamic realm of cybersecurity, the future of Zero Trust unfolds with promises and challenges. In the second part of the Zero Trust series, we explore the insights from industry experts, contemplate the intersection of trust and security, and chart a course for the evolving landscape of digital defense.

Throughout an eventful 2023, CyberArk Labs remained focused on uncovering emerging cyberattack patterns and producing threat research aimed at helping organizations strengthen their identity security defenses. We covered a lot of ground this year and had the opportunity to share our findings at events around the world. Today, we’re revisiting some notable threat research projects from 2023.

Windows 11 is the new and trending operating system in the industry. Everyone, from end-users and administrators to software developers, is using it. However, there’s still a question: what exactly does Windows 11 hold for developers? Moving from one OS version to another can be a lot of change for software curators. So, here we have gathered all the details about Windows 11 functionalities and features, helping developers improve efficiency, build high-end apps, and streamline workflow.
