What is reachability-based dependency analysis?

As software engineers, we (should) strive to write as little code as possible. This is understandable: new code has new bugs and will need maintenance in the future. One way of avoiding writing software is to reuse Open-Source Software (OSS) libraries, hosted on centralized code repositories, such as Maven or NPM.

What are Maven dependency scopes and their related security risks?

This article explores Maven dependency scopes: what are they, what are they used for, and how do they impact security risks?

The Government's Role in Maintaining Open-Source Security

Open-source software has become ubiquitous, powering many of the most critical infrastructure systems in the world, but its community-driven model presents a unique security risk. Because open-source projects are maintained by volunteers, they are often neglected and fall behind on security updates, which can have devastating consequences when critical infrastructure systems rely on vulnerable open-source components.

Introduction to Program Analysis

Program analysis is the process of checking whether or not a piece of software fulfills certain properties. This article explores the basics of program analysis, so we could then dive deeper into the world of call graphs.
