A Semgrep security scan has flagged critical Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities in a PHP codebase, exposing a direct path for attackers to force the server to make unauthorized network requests. The automated rule `ssrf-taint` detected that user-controlled input flows directly into network-fetching func...

A new benchmark is putting frontier large language models to the ultimate test: can they find real, known security vulnerabilities in live, high-profile codebases before the patch is applied? N-Day-Bench addresses the critical flaw in static AI security tests—data contamination and memorization—by constructing a fresh,...

A Semgrep security scan has flagged critical Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities in PHP code, exposing a direct path for attackers to force the server to make unauthorized requests to internal services or arbitrary external hosts. The automated rule `ssrf-taint` detected that user-controlled input flows ...
