When Does a Vulnerability Become an Exploitable? A vulnerability with at least one known, working attack vector is classified as an exploitable vulnerability. The window of vulnerability is the time from when the vulnerability was introduced to when it is patched. If you have strong security practi...
Let's examine what an ideal vulnerability process might look like. 1. Detect vulnerability Before the Internet existed, a flaw or bug in the system wasn’t that much of an issue. But now, as devices have started to communicate with one another and the Internet, security vulnerabilities have...
Today, we will take a look at the process of vulnerability assessment, what are the types of assessment, why is important, and how you can do it. What Is Vulnerability Assessment? A vulnerability assessment is the testing process used to identify, classify, and prioritize vulnerabilities in ...
A vulnerability test involves systematically looking for weaknesses in your computer systems, networks, or applications. In simple terms, it’s like giving your digital systems a health check. Think of it as a proactive way to find security holes before a cyber-attacker does. A recent study sho...
If we look at the basic CIS controls the first two things are do I know what I have right from a hardware and a software perspective? Know what you have, and understand what you have on them. Then let's start understanding the behavior of what they are. Other than about six or seven...
The vendor does not have to see it as a vulnerability for it to be listed as a CVE. That said, the researcher may be required to provide evidence of how it could be used as part of an exploit. The stronger the claim, the more likely it will be added to CVE and the more likely ...

How does vulnerability scanning work? Vulnerability scanning works by using specialized software tools to systematically scan and analyze computer systems, networks, and applications. The scanning tool searches for known security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and outdated software versions. It then generates...
This vulnerability is a particularly useful case study for our kernel allocator hardening work because so many aspects of the bug worked in the attacker’s favor: the UAF trigger and reuse lifetimes were fully attacker-controlled, the UAF’d structure offered many paths to exploitation, and a ...
Vulnerability remediation helps you nip cyber threats in the bud by neutralizing them to a point where they are either invisible or insignificant to cause harm. How Does Vulnerability Remediation Work? Cyberattacks occur when threat actors exploit network vulnerabilities. In the absence of those red...
