Mass assignment, also known as autobinding or object injection, is a category of vulnerabilities that occur when user input is bound to variables or objects within a program. Mass assignment vulnerabilities are often the result of an attacker adding unexpected fields to an object to manipulate the logic of a program.
If I throw a coin high up in the air, I know the outcome — it will either be heads or tails. However, I can’t predict which it will be. I will certainly be able to guess with a 50% chance, but I can’t be 100% certain. If I were to roll a die, my certainty becomes less (1 in 6). However, I still know what the output could be. Computers are great at many things, especially predictability. They are deterministic and creating a truly random number is impossible.
Our long-standing partnership with Atlassian is built on our mutual commitment to providing a great developer experience. It started with our native integration within the Bitbucket Cloud UI, and today we’re incredibly excited to announce yet another new door opening in our partnership. The new Snyk integration for Jira Software will bring security and collaboration to Atlassian users at every stage of the development lifecycle.
Audits are challenging. Especially when it comes to assessing abstract compliance standards against multiple cloud environments, unique cloud infrastructure setups, and many possible (mis)configurations. To help our customers automate compliance assessments, Snyk Cloud now supports 10+ compliance standards— including CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and more.
Every day, thousands of developers use the Snyk CLI as part of their development workflow, to identify and resolve security issues in their code as early as possible. What if these developers and other security professionals could harness the power of this dev-first approach and also utilize entirely new security analyses, filters, and workflows via an extensible approach?
