Risk Awareness – Concerns of Session Token Vulnerabilities of FIDO2 Authentication

While FIDO2 is “phishing-resistant” to credential stealing, it was also designed with the intent to further protect against session hijacking and man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks.

CISA Announces CVE “Vulnrichment” Program to Fill CVE Enrichment Gap

The recent slowdown in NIST’s National Vulnerability Database, which oversees CVE enrichment and provides the valuable cataloging of vulnerabilities that cyber professionals rely upon, has caused CISA to take action. NIST’s analysts have managed to analyze only 4523 of the 14,280 CVEs they received since the start of the year, making this an increasingly urgent problem. CISA has announced it is creating a new program, called “Vulnrichment,”, that aims to fill the CVE enrichment gap.
