Webinar Recap: The Context Engine – Why Consolidation is the Natural Future of AppSec

As the software development lifecycle continues to evolve, the rise of AI is introducing both unprecedented productivity and unprecedented risk. In a recent webinar hosted by JFrog, Jens Eckels sat down with Forrester Senior Analyst Janet Worthington to discuss the state of application security (AppSec), the explosive growth of agentic software development, and why consolidating…

How JFrog’s AI-Research Bot Found OSS CI/CD Vulnerabilities to Prevent Shai Hulud 3.0

Recent incidents have proven that Continuous Integration (CI) workflows are the new battleground for software supply chain attacks. Security Pitfalls in GitHub Actions workflows, such as the unsanitized use of pull request (PR) data, can allow attackers to execute malicious code during CI runs with devastating consequences. For example, the high-profile "S1ngularity" attack on the…

From Prompt to Production: The New AI Software Supply Chain Security

Listen to a NotebookLM podcast version of the blog:   When Anthropic announced Claude Code’s new security scanning capabilities, following the announcement of OpenAI's Aardvark, it marked an important moment for the industry. For the first time, expert-level security review is becoming embedded directly into the act of writing code. Subtle, context-dependent vulnerabilities can now…
Why I’m Finally Ditching YUM for DNF in 2026 (And You Should, Too)

Why I’m Finally Ditching YUM for DNF in 2026 (And You Should, Too)

If you’ve been managing Red Hat-based systems as long as I have, yum install is likely hardcoded into your muscle memory. For decades, YUM (Yellowdog Updater, Modified) served as the backbone of RPM Linux-based distributions, getting us through countless server setups and late-night patches. But the era of YUM is officially over. With RHEL 9,…
Vulnerability or Not a Vulnerability?

Vulnerability or Not a Vulnerability?

Disputed CVEs: It’s Not a Bug, It’s a Debate Every CVE starts as a vulnerability claim, but not every claim ends in agreement. Between researchers racing to disclose vulnerabilities, and open-source maintainers guarding the stability and reputation of their projects, a gray zone appears where “vulnerability” becomes a matter of debate. This is the story…

Giving OpenClaw The Keys to Your Kingdom? Read This First

In security, we never assume perfection. We assume zero-trust, and we design controls to limit the blast radius. That mindset is missing from many OpenClaw deployments today. It is almost impossible not to hear about the new personal AI assistant, OpenClaw (formerly known as ClawdBot and MoltBot). Since its release in November 2025, it has…
