Bitsight TRACE Systematic Approach: CVE-2024-23897 as a Case Study

This article provides details on how Bitsight TRACE addressed CVE-2024-23897, an arbitrary file read vulnerability that affects Jenkins, a well-known open-source automation server. It includes technical details, common pitfalls, and decisions made since the CVE disclosure until now. The investigation of CVE-2024-23897 is an example of how we can obtain the target instance version but not solely rely on it to classify an instance as vulnerable. First, we go deep to understand the vulnerability.

From Firewalls to Digital Well-Being: A Whole-School Approach to Online Safety

Recently, I started working with my children's school to enhance their online safety measures and develop a digital mindfulness course in collaboration with their digital literacy lead. This experience highlighted the fact that our schools are not only expected to provide safe places of learning but also extend that safety into the digital spaces.

What is Berachain and Proof of Liquidity?

Berachain is a novel blockchain created to solve consensus mechanism incentive misalignment. For traditional Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains, users have to lock their assets in order to participate in the security model and earn staking rewards. This results in incentive misalignment as the projects building on these blockchains want activity and volumes – this competes with the native security mechanism of staking which requires assets to be locked up.

Caught in the Act: CrowdStrike's New ML-Powered LDAP Reconnaissance Detections

Early in the cyberattack kill chain, reconnaissance enables attackers to assemble critical network information to plan a tailored attack strategy. In this phase, adversaries aim to map out networks and their users, and locate system vulnerabilities, without setting off alarms. Proactive monitoring and early detection of this activity can disrupt attackers in their tracks and lower the risk of a breach.
