OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten – K08: Secrets Management Failures

by

In the fast-evolving world of cloud-native applications, Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for container orchestration. While its robust architecture streamlines deployment, scaling, and management of applications, Kubernetes introduces a unique set of security challenges. Among these, secrets management failures pose a significant risk, often leading to data breaches, unauthorised access, and compliance violations.
The OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten (K8s Top 10) highlights the most critical security risks in Kubernetes environments. K08: Secrets Management Failures underscores the common pitfalls software developers and software architects encounter when handling sensitive data such as API keys, credentials, and encryption keys.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190)

by

Integer Overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation attempts to create a numeric value that exceeds the maximum limit of the data type used to store it. Similarly, Integer Wraparound happens when the numeric value “wraps around”, cycling back to the minimum limit.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Use of Hard-coded Credentials (CWE-798)

by

Hard-coded credentials refer to embedding authentication information such as usernames, passwords, API keys, or cryptographic keys directly into the source code. Developers might do this for convenience, testing, or quick deployment. However, these credentials often remain in production, creating vulnerabilities.

Understanding CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference

by

In software development, a NULL pointer is a pointer variable that does not reference any valid memory location. Dereferencing such a pointer—attempting to access the memory it supposedly points to—results in undefined behaviour. In many systems, this leads to crashes, data corruption, or even exploitable vulnerabilities.
