Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known severe vulnerabilities. Available threat intelligence telemetry has confirmed that the reported high or critical severity vulnerabilities are actively being exploited by malicious actors.

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Available threat intelligence telemetry has confirmed that the reported vulnerabilities are actively being exploited by malicious actors. Malware code that propagates through these vulnerabilities has been created. This increases the chance of automated malware attacks affecting the software component users.

Problem

Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known vulnerabilities. Based on the CVSS scoring, these vulnerabilities have been marked as critical severity.

Problem

Data Execution Prevention (DEP/NX) is a vulnerability mitigation option that prevents data from being interpreted as code anywhere within the application. This mitigation protects the application stack, heap and other memory data ranges. Executable files that fail to implement this mitigation expose the user to increased risks of malicious code injection.

Problem

Windows executable files are mapped in memory as a sequence of allocated pages. The pages are grouped into sections with defined access rights. Block Starting Symbol (BSS) is a section of memory whose contents are reserved for variables that get their initial values assigned during runtime. Access rights for this section should not include the ability to execute stored data as code, with the accounted exception of incremental linking that merges code and data segments for improved build times. Using unsafe section access rights may lead to exposing critical security data to overwrites, tampering, and complete bypasses of vulnerability mitigations. This issue is typically reported when a software publisher uses a low quality executable packing solution.
