In our Annual API ThreatStats report, we highlighted the increasing threat of API Leaks. An API Leak is the disclosure of sensitive API information, such as a token, credential, or private schema. These leaks can occur directly via the API itself, but also via third party tools used to manage source code, such as Github or Postman. API Leaks came in at number 4 in our dynamic top 10 list of API Security issues.

Graylog API Security v3.6 is here! Just taking the version number by itself, v3.6 sounds like an incremental step forward. But the truth is that v3.6 isn’t just a release milestone; it’s a huge inflection point in our mission to improve API security. There are multiple “firsts” in v3.6, which makes the total combination even more exciting.

When it comes to software development, prioritizing security is essential. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) plays a key role in this by thoroughly analyzing your source code to identify potential vulnerabilities. It's like having a constant code reviewer focused on security, ensuring that your application is protected from the earliest stages of development.

Application programming interface (API) security is critical for retailers increasingly reliant on cloud technology. However, they also open potential gateways for cyber threats, making robust security protocols essential to protect sensitive data and maintain customer trust. The complexity of retail systems, which often involve numerous third-party integrations, can create multiple points of vulnerability.

Do you know what 23andMe, Jason's Deli, North Face, and Hot Topic have in common? They've all been breached by successful credential stuffing attacks in the last year! An attack type that has gained prominence in recent years is credential stuffing. In this blog, we will explore what credential stuffing is, discuss current approaches to mitigate this type of attack, and their weaknesses. Additionally, we'll share our insights on what needs to be.

On January 16 2024, Atlassian issued a significant alert on a critical Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability in Confluence Data Center and Server, identified as CVE-2023-22527. This issue found in older versions, poses a serious risk as it allows attackers without any authentication, to inject OGNL expressions. This means they could potentially run any code they want on the compromised system.
