You check your vulnerability scanner and see red alerts everywhere. Critical vulnerabilities with CVSS scores of 9.0 and higher are lighting up your dashboard like a Christmas tree. Your heart rate spikes. Time to panic, right? Not so fast. Here’s something that might surprise you: a vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.8 might be less dangerous to your systems than one scored at 6.5. The reason comes down to one simple truth - CVSS scores measure technical severity, not real-world risk.

If you work with software development and security, you’ve probably heard people talk about “guardrails” and “gates.” These two approaches help keep your code and systems safe, but they work in very different ways. Let me explain both concepts using simple terms and real examples.

Welcome, future security incident creators! Today we’ll learn the fine art of writing code so vulnerable that hackers will send you thank-you cards. Because who needs job security when you can have security vulnerabilities?

Transforming security from an external constraint into an integral part of engineering excellence

Whenever we talk about how to find authentication vulnerabilities, first we should look at what is the meaning of authentication? Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a given user or client. In other words, it involves making sure that they really are who they claim to be.
