Publishing exploit code does more harm than good, says report

Publishing exploit code does more harm than good, says report Disclosing exploit code before patches are available gives malicious actors a ‘massive’ head-start, says Kenna Security Share this item with your network: By Published: 13 May 2021 13:12 Cyber security researchers and ethical hackers may wish to consider easing off on publicly disclosing vulnerability exploit code before patches have been made available, because doing so gives malicious actors a “clear and unequivocal” advantage, according to new data crunched by vulnerability management specialist Kenna Security and Cyentia Institute. In the research study, Prioritisation to prediction, volume 7: establishing defender advantage, Kenna said that in about one-third of cases, it had found that ethical hackers – whom the industry relies on to some extent to identify new vulnerabilities and write proof-of-concept exploit code – made their code publicly available before the patch.

The danger of looking at risk scores without any context

Analysis of the NIST National Vulnerability Database shows that security teams were under siege in 2020 and into the first part of 2021 defending against an unprecedented number of flaws. Today s columnist, Ed Bellis of Kenna Security, cautions that CVSS scores don t always tell the full story. shioshvili is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 A growing number of companies are adopting risk-based vulnerability management programs to handle the endless wave of new vulnerabilities being disclosed every day more than 2,800 in the first three months of 2021. Yet, too often these programs make one critical error – they focus too much time on a risk score, and not enough time on the system itself.

Just 2 6% of 2019 s 18,000 tracked vulnerabilities were actively exploited in the wild

So says Kenna Security in a refreshing piece of counter-FUD analysis Gareth Corfield Thu 18 Feb 2021 // 18:00 UTC Share Copy While the infosec industry is used to reading (and pumping out) FUD about software vulnerabilities, eye-catching research suggests about 500 vulns were exploited in 2019 – despite 18,000 new CVEs being created. Kenna Security, a US infosec firm, reckons that despite thousands of vulnerabilities being assigned a Common Vulnerabilities and Exploitations (CVE) tracking number in the year, just 473 of those were actively being exploited in ways likely to impact enterprises. That represents just 2.6 per cent of vulns reported during the year, shedding new light on the scale of the threat to internet-connected businesses.
