Risky Biz Podcast: How Socket Goes Beyond Vulnerabilities to...
Blog post from Socket
In a recent episode of the Risky Biz Podcast, Socket CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh discussed with host Tom Uren the inadequacies of the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) in addressing modern threats in open-source software, highlighting that while NVD is effective for tracking vulnerabilities, it often overlooks backdoors and malware in open-source packages. Aboukhadijeh emphasized the range of threats from political protest software to state-sponsored backdoors, and how Socket's approach involves real-time monitoring and advanced static analysis to detect malicious behaviors such as data exfiltration and obfuscated code. This proactive strategy identifies about 100 supply chain attacks weekly, bolstering security for organizations using open-source software. They also explored the challenges of internal package mirrors that may distribute malicious packages, with Socket offering integration with internal hosts and providing real-time alerts and remediation advice to tackle these risks.
