Key Takeaways Impact: CVE-2025-20281 (CVSS 10.0) lets an unauthenticated attacker send a single API request and gain root-level access, all without credentials or user interaction. Cause: The root cause of the vulnerability is insufficient input validation, confirming yet again that validation logic is still inadequate in many popular services. Fix: Defenders should implement fixes ASAP […]

Key Takeaways AI Native means built, not bolted. It’s the difference between a platform that embeds AI into its architecture and one that adds it later as a feature. Only the former can deliver meaningful context, automation, and integration across the SDLC. Developers need signal, not noise. AI-native tools like Qwiet prioritize relevance, context, and […]

Key Takeaways Static tools miss logic-driven vulnerabilities. Traditional SAST tools flag obvious syntax-level risks but fail to understand business rules, multi-tenant boundaries, or the actual intent behind code behavior. Qwiet’s comprehensive analysis traces full execution paths across helpers, middleware, and services. Modeling code as a connected graph uncovers hidden risks buried in trusted-looking utilities, such […]

After years of uncovering investment and retail banking fraud, I’ve developed a finely tuned radar for risk disguised as innovation. So when security vendors market “community rules” as a revolutionary leap forward, my fraud-detection instincts go haywire. It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a potential threat masquerading as transparency. Let’s be clear: regulated financial institutions […]

Security engineers know that some critical vulnerabilities don’t appear in simple scans. They cross language boundaries, involve dynamic behavior, or emerge from patterns that don’t exist in any public rule set. Traditional SAST tools, especially those built on static rules or syntax matching, weren’t designed to catch these risks. Graph-based analysis changes that. It enables […]

Recent breaches at GitLab and GitHub and new research into AI-driven coding expose a troubling pattern in software security: developers have built unified pipelines of tightly integrated tools. While these boost efficiency, they introduce new risks if attackers breach the platform: GitLab disclosed an actively exploited vulnerability tied to how CI/CD job tokens were handled […]

Help me CPG, you’re our only hope! The fundamental challenge in software security today isn’t just finding vulnerabilities, it is the inherently fragmented understanding of complex systems. When we examine why critical vulnerabilities persist despite sophisticated expertise and tooling, we often find they exist in the connections and interactions that traditional approaches are simply blind […]

Back in 1893, the Lizzie Borden murders, where the Massachusetts woman was accused of killing both her parents with an ax, captivated the public and news media. Eventually found not guilty, one fundamental question perplexed police officers and the jury. Every door inside the Borden house had its own lock and corresponding key, an attempt […]

Whether it’s school or car loans, you know that paying off your debt makes your life easier. It can improve your credit score, giving you more financial security. As a developer, you may also suffer from technical debt that impacts your application’s security. In a world where time to delivery is critical, you may make […]
