Many vulnerabilities impact popular software, placing the many ...
Often, during the course of apenetration test, exploitable vulnerabilities are discovered. These vulnerabilities might not have an immediate solution to prevent the exploit. This means if someone discovers that vulnerability, he just might have complete and unfettered access to the customer network, and...
Recently, there have been some attempts to use machine learning techniques to predict a vulnerability's exploitability. In doing so, a vulnerability's related URL, called its reference, is commonly used as a machine learning algorithm's feature. However, we found that some references contained ...

Red Hat Product Security is pleased to announce that official Red Hat vulnerability data is now available in a new format called the Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX).
Even though special conditions are required to exploit medium severity issues, and they don't directly affect the application or system (in contrast to critical and high severities), in order to keep your web application secure and comply with the regulations, they should still be fixed. ...
A vulnerability scan is a high-level test that focuses on the identification, prioritization, and reporting of vulnerabilities using automated tools, whereas a pen test is a more in-depth test designed to not only discover but exploit vulnerabilities and potentially move deeper through your environmen...
