What if you were told that you had a misconfigured registry with hundreds of millions of software artifacts containing highly confidential and sensitive proprietary code and secrets exposed in your environment right now? This would be what you’d call a really bad day for security. Recently, the Aqua Nautilus research …
Aqua Nautilus researchers have discovered a chain of critical vulnerabilities, dubbed CorePlague, in the widely used Jenkins Server and Update Center (CVE-2023-27898, CVE-2023-27905). Exploiting these vulnerabilities could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's Jenkins server, …
One of Trivy’s core features is Trivy Kubernetes for in-cluster security scans of running workloads. This tutorial will showcase how to generate CIS and NSA reports both through the Trivy CLI and the Trivy Operator.Additionally, we will look at how users can add the Kubernetes Specification for their own Compliance …
According to an article in Security Magazine, 98% of organizations have been negatively impacted by a cybersecurity breach in their supply chain. Aqua’s 2021 Software Supply Chain Security Review notes that “attackers focused heavily on open source vulnerabilities and poisoning, code integrity issues, exploiting the …
One of the advantages of automated CI/CD pipelines is that they’re a great place to implement regular security controls and checks. Using GitHub Actions, it’s easy to improve the security of your containers by automating vulnerability scanning and digital signing of container images on a regular basis. In this post, …
In my previous post, I covered how you can secure your CI/CD pipeline with Tracee from potentially malicious code executions. We’re now releasing Tracee GitHub Action, which makes using Tracee a plug-n-play experience and doesn’t require any prior knowledge of eBPF or Docker. We’re also introducing a new capability to …
When it comes to containerized workloads, resolving the underlying image's security vulnerabilities is paramount to ensuring the safety of your environment. Getting security risk information into the hands of developers quickly and efficiently is key to keeping development cycles as short as possible while maintaining …
With the growing popularity of CI platforms to build software, bad actors are increasingly looking to exploit these environments to target organizations. In our post about the recent Codecov breach, we explored how an attacker was able to get access to credentials from within the CI/CD pipeline. To prevent this from …
Threat Alert: Massive Cryptomining Campaign Abusing GitHub, Docker Hub, Travis CI & Circle CI
Aqua’s Team Nautilus detected an impressive campaign that set out to hijack resources to enable cryptocurrency mining. This operation focused on several SaaS software development environments, including Docker Hub, GitHub, Travis CI, and Circle CI, by abusing their automated build processes.
With the continual leftward shifting movement of traditional DevOps responsibilities, organizations can now detect security issues earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Using CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GoCD, or Bamboo, organizations can continually develop, test, and ship applications. As containers …
There are major shifts happening around container technology. We have seen ongoing improvements in automation tooling and changes as fully containerized workloads move into production. Companies are often running more than one production Kubernetes cluster at a time. DevOps and operations teams, subsequently, have an …
