The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added three security flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The most critical of the three is CVE-2022-35914, which concerns a remote code execution vulnerability in the third-party library htmlawed present in Teclib GLPI, an open source asset and IT management software package.

The findings of the report deliver an in-depth look at the current state of open source security, compliance, licensing, and code quality risks in commercial software with the goal of helping security, legal, risk, and development teams better understand the open source security and license risk landscape. "An increase in the average number of open source components rising 13% in this year's audits further reinforces the importance of implementing a comprehensive SBOM that lists all open source components in your applications their licenses, versions, and patch status. This is a foundational strategy towards understanding and reducing business risk by defending against software supply chain attacks," Schmitt continued.

The reasons for the lack of investment into Third Party Risk Management are the same that we consistently hear - lack of time, lack of money and resources, and it's a business need to work with the vendor. Step 3 - Continuously combine threat exposure findings with the questionnaire exchange #. Security ratings alone don't work.

Attack surface management is a make or break for organizations, but before we get to the usual list of best practices, we need to accept that attack surface management is not limited to the surface. Defining the fundamentals of ASM. ASM falls under the larger umbrella of exposure management, along with vulnerability management and validation management.

Multiple unpatched security flaws have been disclosed in open source and freemium Document Management System offerings from four vendors LogicalDOC, Mayan, ONLYOFFICE, and OpenKM. Cybersecurity firm Rapid7 said the eight vulnerabilities offer a mechanism through which "An attacker can convince a human operator to save a malicious document on the platform and, once the document is indexed and triggered by the user, giving the attacker multiple paths to control the organization." The list of eight cross-site scripting flaws, discovered by Rapid7 researcher Matthew Kienow, is as follows -.

Australian software maker Atlassian has released patches for CVE-2023-22501, a critical authentication vulnerability in Jira Service Management Server and Data Center, and is urging users to upgrade quickly. "Installing a fixed version of Jira Service Management is the recommended way to remediate this vulnerability. If you are unable to immediately upgrade Jira Service Management, you can manually upgrade the version-specific servicedesk-variable-substitution-plugin JAR file as a temporary workaround," they advised.

Atlassian has released fixes to resolve a critical security flaw in Jira Service Management Server and Data Center that could be abused by an attacker to pass off as another user and gain unauthorized access to susceptible instances. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2023-22501 and has been described as a case of broken authentication with low attack complexity.

IT departments continue to face immense pressure to get vulnerability and patch management right as threat actors use new and old methods to exploit network endpoints. Are we ready for what's next? As vulnerabilities continue to increase, what strategies should security professionals use to gain visibility into these threats, prioritize them, and manage the ongoing risk to endpoints? What will the vulnerability landscape look like in 2023, and what new challenges will security and IT teams face?
