In the rapidly evolving fields of large language models (LLMs) and machine learning, new frameworks and applications emerge daily, pushing the boundaries of these technologies. While exploring libraries and frameworks that leverage LLMs for user-facing applications, we came across the Vanna.AI library – which offers a text-to-SQL interface for users – where we discovered CVE-2024-5565, a …
As key parts of the software ecosystem, and as partners, JFrog and Docker are working together to strengthen the software ecosystem. Part of this effort by JFrog’s security research team involves continuous monitoring of open-source software registries in order to proactively identify and address potential malware and vulnerability threats. In former publications, we have discussed …
