On September 27, 2024, evilsocket.net (Simone Margaritelli) published information about several vulnerabilities in CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), which can allow for arbitrary remote code execution (RCE). There are currently 4 CVEs associated with these findings, with potentially more on the way. There is also some debate about the severity of these vulnerabilities, however, one of the CVEs was initially given a CVSS score of 9.9. We will update this blog if new information becomes available.

C and C++ remain foundational in critical software development. These languages power a wide array of systems, from embedded devices to high-performance applications in manufacturing, operational technology (OT), and the industrial market. Their efficiency, control over system resources, and performance make them indispensable for developers working on mission-critical projects.

Thousands of our customers are leveraging Snyk to implement their DevSecOps and shift-left strategies. However, with the increasing speed and complexity of applications, we also know it’s harder to stay in sync with development. It is increasingly difficult to maintain a clear view of all the software assets being developed, identify ownership and their importance to the business, and, most importantly, ensure that these assets are properly secured by Snyk.
