Bugzilla bug-tracking software | Breaking Cybersecurity News | The Hacker News

A Critical vulnerability discovered in Mozilla's popular Bugzilla bug-tracking software , used by hundreds of thousands of prominent software organizations, could potentially expose details of their non-public security vulnerabilities to the Hackers. So it's time for developers and organizations that use Bugzilla open source bug tracking system to upgrade to the latest patched versions – namely 5.0.1, 4.4.10, or 4.2.15 . Bugzilla is a vulnerability database used by Mozilla as well as many open-source projects and private organizations. Besides patched flaws, these databases also contain sensitive information related to unpatched vulnerabilities reported to organizations. Unfortunately, the researchers at security firm PerimeterX have discovered a vulnerability ( CVE-2015-4499 ) in Bugzilla's email-based permissions process that allowed them to gain high-level permissions on Bugzilla. As a result, it is potentially possible for an attacker to easily access u...

A critical zero-day vulnerability discovered in Mozilla's popular Bugzilla bug-tracking software used by hundreds of prominent software organizations, both private and open-source, could expose sensitive information and vulnerabilities of the software projects to the hackers. The critical flaw allows an attacker to bypass email verification part when registering a new Bugzilla account, which clearly means that an attacker can register accounts using any email addresses of their choice without the need to access the actual inbox for validation purposes. VALIDATION BYPASS AND PRIVILEGE ESCALATION BUG Security firm Check Point Software Technologies disclosed the flaw ( CVE-2014-1572 ) on Monday and said that it's the first time when a privilege-escalation vulnerability has been found in the Bugzilla project since 2002. The Mozilla foundation has also confirmed that this particular bug exists in all versions of Bugzilla going back to version 2.23.3 from 2006. An analysis...

Are you tired of dealing with outdated security tools that never seem to give you the full picture? You're not alone. Many organizations struggle with piecing together scattered information, leaving your apps vulnerable to modern threats. That's why we're excited to introduce a smarter, unified approach: Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). ASPM brings together the best of both worlds by connecting your code insights with real-time runtime data. This means you get a clear, holistic view of your application's security. Instead of reacting to threats, ASPM helps you prevent them. Imagine reducing costly retrofits and emergency patches with a proactive, shift-left strategy—saving you time, money, and stress. Join Amir Kaushansky, Director of Product Management at Palo Alto Networks, as he walks you through how ASPM is changing the game. In this free webinar , you'll learn to: Close the Security Gaps: Understand why traditional AppSec tools fall short and how ASPM fills ...
