Log4Shell exposes software supply chain visibility gap

Very good article Piotr P. Karwasz .. Good for the The Apache Software Foundation to share all that :) . We need to definitelly all strenghten our security postures .... And FAST.

A CLFS-style zero-day drops at 8 AM. By 8:15, the runtime agent knows which 12 of your 8,000 endpoints have the vulnerable code path executing, with what privileges, and on what network surface. The vendor patch lands in 2-4 days. Runtime answered in minutes. How runtime context shrinks the zero-day response window: https://lnkd.in/gaNkHE8Z #RuntimeExposureManagement #VulnerabilityManagement

Recent supply chain incidents (like the Checkmarkx attack) are a reminder that developer tools are more than just productivity investments. They often sit close to source code, CI/CD workflows, credentials, and build environments – which makes choosing and implementing them a security decision. Here’s how you can minimize risk without slowing developers down. #CheckmarkxAttack #SoftwareSecurity #CodeInsights

Security is not determined by your core system alone. Third-party plugins, integrations, and external scripts often operate with elevated access making them attractive entry points for attackers. In modern infrastructure, dependency risk is equal to system risk! Control what connects to your system. #Server4Sale #PluginSecurity #WebSecurity #DigitalInfrastructure #ITSecurity #SecureHosting #TechSecurity

Bitwarden CLI, the 3rd most used passwords manager, is compromised Bitwarden CLI 2026.4.0 was compromised in the Checkmarx supply chain campaign after attackers abused a GitHub Action in Bitwarden’s CI/CD pipeline. ~> https://lnkd.in/dw6dyg3N (news) Socket researchers discovered that the Bitwarden CLI was compromised as part of the ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign. The open source password manager serves more than 10 million users and over 50,000 businesses, and ranks among among the top three password managers by enterprise adoption. ***

The SolarWinds attackers didn’t break in through a vulnerability in the product’s code. They compromised the build pipeline and injected malicious code into a legitimate, properly signed release. That’s what makes software supply chain attacks so dangerous: the signature can be valid, and the software can still be wrong. 🚨 That’s also the gap SLSA is meant to close. In our latest blog, we look at what SLSA actually means in enterprise environments: how the build levels differ, what attestations can and can’t prove, and why adoption gets complicated once you move from theory into real release pipelines. One point matters especially: generating attestations is not enough. They only add value if someone is actually verifying them. 🔐 🔗 Link in comments #SLSA #SoftwareSupplyChainSecurity #SoftwareIntegrity #DevSecOps #CodeSigning

As we continue to push the boundaries of software development and innovation, it's shocking to see how many organizations are leaving their CI/CD pipelines exposed to attacks. The introduction of SmokedMeat is a game-changer, but it's only the beginning. We need to fundamentally rethink our approach to security and prioritize the protection of our most critical assets. The question is, are you ready to take the first step and uncover the hidden dangers lurking in your CI/CD pipelines? The clock is ticking, and the future of your organization's security hangs in the balance. Let's get the conversation started and make security a top priority in the world of software development. #SysAdmin #ServerAdmin #ITInfrastructure https://lnkd.in/gqzrXHKd

Welcome to the #cissp 'Q of the D' !!!! Question 1762 / Day 1762 - DOMAIN - Software Development Security: (correct answer to be provided tomorrow) Show how smart you are & post your answers #cisspsuccess #isc2 #themoreyouknow A critical enterprise application relies on third-party libraries for key functionalities. During an upgrade, developers discover that one of the libraries has been deprecated and is no longer supported. What is the MOST appropriate long-term mitigation? a. Replace the library with an alternative supported library b. Continue using the library with custom patches applied c. Remove the dependency entirely and reimplement functionality internally d. Use virtualization to isolate risks introduced by the deprecated library Answer: _____
