You can access data from deleted forks, deleted repositories and even private repositories on GitHub. And it is available forever. This is known by GitHub, and intentionally designed that way.

To keep the modern technological world of open source software safe, it is critical to efficiently and accurately communicate information about open source vulnerabilities. The OSV Schema, created through the collaboration between OpenSSF members and housed within the Vulnerability Disclosures Working Group, provides a minimal, easy-to-use first class JSON format for describing vulnerabilities in open source software.

OK, let's debate a definition. Today, let's talk about "vulnerability" in software. Your product, (let's call it A) uses a library (which we'll call X). X has a load of features. Among those is some function, "someFunc" which has a bug. It's supposed to be safe to call with untrusted data... but some clever researchers have found that they can craft input that results in remote code execution (RCE). X has a vulnerability. Does A?

A question for #infosec practitioners. I've found an abandoned AWS bucket from a very large company. It serves all the images & fonts in their billing emails. I defensively registered it to prevent an attacker from injecting malicious content into the emails I receive. Then I emailed their security.txt contact to inform them and offering to transfer it back (for free, obviously). Was that the right thing to do? Should I have waited for a response from them before securing the bucket?

I just wrote the following on a GitHub issue. I don't understand why people have not learned this yet: ⚠️ NEVER SEND POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUES PUBLICLY. If the security issue is concrete, it also poses all the users at risk because the maintainers might not have time to act.

The massive push for software supply-chain integrity and transparency has left organizations struggling to secure their pipelines and manage vulnerabilities. Existing tooling doesn’t support supply chain security natively and requires users to bolt on critical features like signatures, provenance, and software bills of material (SBOM). Everything you need to know about securing the software supply chain.

Infosys has a lot to say about security You can check out their website for a lot of buzwords , but it’s clear from all the stock photos that they take security Very Seriously Indeed ™️. However, from what I’ve found recently, it seems that Infosys use the following Comprehensive Management-Endorsed Proficiently Driven Cybersecurity Strategy and Framework items: Don’t use AWS roles or temporary credentials for your developers Instead, use IAM user keys and give them all FullAdminAccess permissions Never rotate these keys and store them as plaintext in git Use these keys to protect what appears to be medical data about COVID patients Have someone publish those keys and the code in a public package to pypi Keep those keys active for days after leakage Make nonsensical pull requests to try and remove all references to the leak The Leak This morning I woke up to a very strange pull request on my pypi-data project.

Many of us use one-time passwords (OTP) regularly to log into different services. Most probably rely on Google Authenticator and similar tools. But what about building one by ourselves?

The other day someone claimed a hostname on a domain I own and it took me a while to track down how. After a lot of digging around, trying to figure out how the hijack was accomplished, it turns out it was via GitHub Pages.
