In recent years, the software bill of materials (SBOM) has become a key element of software security and software supply chain risk management.

Overdose deaths from the powerful, easy-to-produce drug have soared. How did this happen?

The team identified the bug, tracked under CVE-2007-4559, in Python’s tarfile module late last year. It was first reported to the Python project in 2007 but left unchecked. Since then, it’s presence has greatly expanded as it has been used in approximately 350,000 open-source projects and countless other closed-source or proprietary software projects.

Languages such as C and C++ rely too heavily on the programmer not making simple memory-related security errors.

The announcement has been noteworthy as this is only the second time OpenSSL has classified a flaw as “critical” since the Heartbleed bug in 2014. It has also been somewhat controversial among the security community, with some questioning whether the OpenSSL project's decision to go public about the vulnerability before the patch gives attackers more opportunities to exploit it.

Checkmarx researchers say the vulnerability was fixed, but warns that the potential attack surface for such “hidden malicious code” may grow exponentially.
