List of weaknesses and bugs

news Recent developments in the United States suggest that networks, although they are secure, are insecure. Flaws If we believe the latest report of the American cyber security company, then this would be ideal. Veracode. In its annual report on the state of software security, it appears that 76% Applications Defects and, for 24% of them, these Weaknesses Is considered very serious. The firm investigated and found out that it is in open source libraries that we find the most vulnerabilities and Worms. They appear to be less and less reliable and are heavily exploited by their code application editors.

Thus, for 70% of applications, bugs and vulnerabilities arise directly from exploitation of these Open source library. On the other hand, internally generated code remains quite reliable, among publishers. It is really while digging into these libraries that developers should be careful.

Suffers most from PHP bug

The reassuring thing is that Veracode found that 73% of bugs and flaws were fixed since the last study. For half the cases, however, it takes an average of six months to plug the breaches.

But what Veracode notes is that the worst bugs and vulnerabilities are limited to the language Php. Thus, the application of malicious scripts is allowed in 74.6% of PHP applications. Next, in order, are C ++, Java, .Net, JavaScript and Python languages. Yet according to Veracode, this trend is essentially due to the age of applications that are constantly evolving and whose code history becomes difficult to interpret over time.
