The Java software platform provides a number of features designed for improving the security of Java applications. This includes enforcing runtime constraints through the use of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a security manager that sandboxes untrusted code from the rest of the operating system, and a suite of security APIs that Java developers can utilise.
Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) is a zero-day vulnerability reported in November 2021 in Log4j, a popular Java logging framework, involving arbitrary code execution. [2] [3] The vulnerability had existed unnoticed since 2013 and was privately disclosed to the Apache Software Foundation, of which Log4j is a project, by Chen Zhaojun of Alibaba Cloud's security team on 24 November 2021.
Based upon the generic syntax for Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI), CPE includes a formal name format, a method for checking names against a system, and a description format for binding text and tests to a name. [1] The CPE Product Dictionary provides an agreed upon list of official CPE names.
These vulnerabilities have been found in applications written in Ruby on Rails, [2] ASP.NET MVC, [3] and Java Play framework. [4] In 2012 mass assignment on Ruby on Rails allowed bypassing of mapping restrictions and resulted in proof of concept injection of unauthorized SSH public keys into user accounts at GitHub.
A vulnerability database (VDB) is a platform aimed at collecting, maintaining, and disseminating information about discovered computer security vulnerabilities.The database will customarily describe the identified vulnerability, assess the potential impact on affected systems, and any workarounds or updates to mitigate the issue.
Insecure direct object reference (IDOR) is a type of access control vulnerability in digital security. [ 1 ] This can occur when a web application or application programming interface uses an identifier for direct access to an object in an internal database but does not check for access control or authentication .
In February 2024, a malicious backdoor was introduced to the Linux build of the xz utility within the liblzma library in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 by an account using the name "Jia Tan". [ b ] [ 4 ] The backdoor gives an attacker who possesses a specific Ed448 private key remote code execution through OpenSSH on the affected Linux system.
Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in such a way that guards against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities.Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. [1]
