CERT partners with GitHub Security Lab for automated remediation

The GitHub Security Lab team, led by Nico Waisman, navigates the complex emotional journey of vulnerability research with the aim of enhancing open source software (OSS) security beyond mere bug fixes. Recognizing the limitations of addressing single vulnerabilities, the team leverages GitHub's extensive OSS hosting capabilities to scale their efforts, aiming to convert individual vulnerability discoveries into numerous bug fixes. They focus on establishing community-driven workflows and feedback loops with developers and security experts to tackle vulnerabilities at scale, acting as facilitators to bolster the security of widely-used software. The team's collaboration with organizations like CERT exemplifies their strategy to empower others in the security community to contribute to a more secure OSS ecosystem.
