Three years after Log4Shell caused a significant security issue, we still struggle with insecure dependencies and injection problems. In this podcast, we'll discuss how developers can secure their code. I talked with three authors who posted a security and code quality post on Foojay.io.Guests Jonathan Vila https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanvila/ https://about.me/jonathan.vila https://twitter.com/jonathan_vila Brian Vermeer https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianvermeer/ https://brianvermeer.nl/ https://twitter.com/BrianVerm Erik Costlow https://www.linkedin.com/in/costlow/ https://twitter.com/costlow Content00:00 Introduction of topic and guests 01:35 Brian: Why is Log4Shell still around? https://foojay.io/today/the-persistent-threat-why-major-vulnerabilities-like-log4shell-and-spring4shell-remain-significant/ 03:24 Outdated dependencies are still used a lot 04:31 Who is responsible for dependency updates? 07:55 Snyk tools to help discover issues 10:15 Comparing to Dependabot 11:21 How to keep dependencies up-to-date 14:32 Responsibility to use dependencies with care 17:17 Looking forward to the JFall conference 18:48 About Foojay 19:49 Jonathan: Is SQL injection still a problem? https://foojay.io/today/top-security-flaws-hiding-in-your-code-right-now-and-how-to-fix-them/ 24:50 Deserialization injection 27:30 Logging injection 31:22 Even experienced developers make mistakes 33:17 About Sonar tools 35:53 Other articles by Jonathan https://foojay.io/today/author/jonathan-vila/ https://foojay.io/today/ensuring-the-right-usage-of-java-21-new-features/ 38:20 Other security tools https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wVCYj8oQUY 39:47 Erik: Trash Pandas are attracted by unused code https://foojay.io/today/trash-pandas-love-enterprise-java-garbage-code/ 43:01 How bad are insecure but unused libraries? 45:16 Problem of code only used by unit tests 47:15 Testing in different layers (develop, test, production) 49:31 How much code is not used in production? 50:31 How code becomes unused https://foojay.io/today/foojay-podcast-57/ 54:29 Conclusions
