Many organizations scrambled today to address the newly discovered "XZ Backdoor" (CVE-2024-3094), which was maliciously inserted into an open-source library commonly used in many environments. This incident highlights the critical need for true software analysis – understanding exactly what's in your software, how it's used, and why. The good news? Mend.io's container reachability goes beyond simple dependency scanning. It reveals whether a library is actively used and shows the precise execution path within the filesystem. This granular insight empowers you to assess your true risk and prioritize vulnerabilities with laser focus. #DevSecOps #appsec #codeanalysis Mend.io | Atom Security (Acquired by Mend.io)

The word abbreviation is too long !
6moDeveloping an open source container scanner - It always makes me smile how #sast "reachability" is introduced as a "new" feature ... from the original paper (https://www.di.ens.fr/~cousot/COUSOTpapers/POPL77.shtml) it's been close to 50 years 🙂 ... If you're an open source enthusiast looking to take part in a free-as-in-speech container scanner send me a DM 🙂 (and yes, of course we have "reachability" analysis ...)
