The code is written. Now who reviews it?The volume of code has never been greater, but delivery hasn’t kept pace. At Meta, code changes on internal platforms grew 220% year over year, while changes that reached users as new features grew only 36% (Reuters, August 2026). Every one of those changes has to clear review before it reaches users.Automated review absorbs much of that load. Code Review Flow in GitLab Duo Age…
Executive Summary A maximum-severity vulnerability (CVE-2026-97229, CVSS 10.0) was disclosed affecting GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE), allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on GitLab servers via specially crafted regular expressions in CI/CD pipeline configurations. Due to the potential for full server compromise and downstream supply-chain impact, immediate patching is required. Abo…
Most security tooling that fits into a CI/CD pipeline—static analysis (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and dynamic scanners (DAST)—flags potential issues from patterns and signatures. A flagged pattern shows you where to look; penetration testing is what confirms whether something is actually exploitable. That confirmation has traditionally come from a periodic, out-of-band engagement that runs […]
This Cyble Research & Intelligence Labs (CRIL) weekly vulnerability report covers two views of risk: what attackers tried against Cyble's global honeypot sensors, and what the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) disclosed for industrial control systems (ICS). The Cyble Global Sensor Intelligence (CGSI) network observed exploitation attempts against about 20 known vulnerabilities. They range from n…
Simply asking Anthropic’s Claude Code to review an HTML file could hand attackers access to a developer’s machine, cloud credentials and software development environment, according to a new Noma Security finding. Noma’s researchers found a vulnerability affecting Anthropic’s Claude Code Desktop app that could allow malicious JavaScript embedded in an HTML file to execute without further user interaction, potentially…
Overview Bisheng contains three vulnerabilities: a pre-authentication account takeover mechanism via a legacy single sign-on (SSO) endpoint; an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability that exposes cross-user workflow data; and prior to version 2.5.0, authenticated attackers could perform cross-user LLM credential abuse and data disclosure due to missing service-layer access checks. Together, these flaws…
I tested 25 of the most popular package managers to check whether they detect a compromised package repository injecting malicious code into legitimate packages. This code integrity problem could be solved using cryptographic hashes or signatures, but many package managers are still vulnerable to this threat. Of the 25 package managers reviewed1, fewer than half used lockfiles that checked for tampering by default, a…
When I started writing regularly about cybersecurity management in 2015, the environment looked very different. Cloud computing was still reshaping enterprise technology. Ransomware had not become the industrialised threat it is today. Artificial intelligence was not driving boardroom discussions. Zero Trust had yet to enter mainstream technical vocabulary and quantum computing barely registered on the corporate risk…
Meshery is an open-source tool for designing, deploying and managing Kubernetes infrastructure, built by Layer5 and its community and hosted as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project. Teams use it to lay out clusters and applications on a visual canvas, check the design, and push it to multiple clusters and clouds from one central console, without hand-editing YAML. Kubernetes runs on configuration files, and on…
Microsoft released a record-shattering 1,407 CVEs to be plugged today on October Patch Tuesday, breaking the 2020 record of 1,261. The list was so long that its release was several hours later than the usual 1 p.m. Eastern drop time, somewhat frustrating admins. The bugs include three zero-day vulnerabilities, one of which has been exploited. The zero day being exploited, and that should be dealt with immediately, is…

Another month of patches equals another new record for Microsoft patches. It’s a good thing I survive Pwn2Own Ireland, because between these and the Adobe patches, there’s much to discuss. I’m also looking at different ways I can represent the bugs at this level of volume, so let me know if you have ideas. (Seriously – I’m out of ideas). If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can…
Overview Versions <= 2.2.0 of Periphery, an agent within the Komodo server management platform, is vulnerable to OS command injection due to missing validation of container names, through two vectors: container destruction and container log searches. This allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the underlying host, enabling persistent compromise of infrastructure. Description Komodo…

A flaw in Docker Hub, the registry where container images are published and downloaded, let one user push, pull, or delete images as another user. Docker fixed the flaw on September 30 and says it found no evidence that anyone exploited it. The flaw was in the feature that converts a personal account into an organization, Docker said in a security advisory on October 12.
GitLab just fixed a max-severity vulnerability that could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on its servers. The company released a fix on Monday, alongside patches for five other high-severity flaws affecting its source code management and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) platform. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-97229, was fixed in versions 19.4.2, 19.3.5, and 19.2.8 of its…

GitLab has released patches for a maximum-severity security flaw impacting its Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) software that could result in arbitrary code execution. "GitLab has remediated an issue that, under certain conditions, could have allowed an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the GitLab server via a specially crafted regular expression in a CI/CD
AI coding tools have changed how fast software gets written, but not how fast it ships. As code generation accelerates, the bottleneck moves downstream into verify, review, and ship. Those stages still run on human time. While agents write fixes in minutes, delivery slows on constant wait times and manual handoffs. Reviewer signoffs, pipeline alerts, scan triage, and step-by-step prompting are examples of obstacles D…
You want to set a cryptographic algorithm policy and stop non-compliant choices from being made in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. This post shows you how. As you adopt post-quantum cryptography, one of the first decisions you face is which algorithms and parameter sets fit your business needs, balancing security against signature size, key […]
Software supply chain attacks have grown in both frequency and sophistication. Recent high-profile compromises of build systems and open source dependencies demonstrate that attackers increasingly target the trust mechanisms that verify software integrity. Those trust mechanisms rely on digital signature algorithms, and today many use traditional algorithms such as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and the Elliptic Curve […
There’s an old leadership fantasy that goes something like this: The CISO surveys a sprawling technology estate, discovers 11 tools doing the work of four, calculates the licensing savings, selects a shiny new strategic platform and declares that consolidation has begun. Six months later, all 11 tools are still running. The new platform is now number 12. I’ve seen variations of this throughout my career, from financi…
