Software slackers urged to up their game
The US has clearly had enough of software vendors shipping products with"unforgivable" vulnerabilities, and is now urging them to launch formal code reviews to stamp out SQL injection flaws.
The call from authorities extends to software vendors' customers too. They've been advised to hold their vendors to account by asking them if a formal code review into a product's susceptibility to SQL injection exploits has occurred and what mitigations have been put in place. Cybersecurity authorities, including but not limited to CISA, have been calling for secure-by-design programming practices to be the norm for well over a decade, and those efforts continue today. that SQL injection vulnerabilities should be eradicated from the beginning of the development process by focusing on security from the outset.
"Vulnerabilities like SQLi have been considered by others an 'unforgivable' vulnerability since at least 2007. Despite this finding, SQL vulnerabilities are still a prevalent class of vulnerability. For example, CWE-89 is on top 25 lists for both the most dangerous and stubborn software weaknesses in 2023.
