Top 10 Best Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Tools for Security Teams in 2026
The complexity of modern software development requires security to be deeply embedded within the engineering pipeline rather than treated as an afterthought. With modern applications consisting of over 80% open-source components, the attack surface has shifted drastically. Whether you are managing extensive codebases or integrating third-party APIs, catching flaws before code is compiled is crucial.…

Crafted JPEGs Could Trigger PHP Memory Bugs for Exploitation
PHP, one of the most widely used web programming languages, is rarely viewed as a direct attack surface at its core level. Security focus typically shifts toward frameworks and third-party libraries. However, new research shows that PHP’s built-in functionality specifically the ext/standard extension can expose critical risks when handling untrusted input such as image files.…
