Owasp 24/7

On March 1, 2018, the team at Semmle announced a critical vulnerability in the Pivotal Spring framework. The vulnerability was found by security researcher Man Yue Mo at Semmle — the team behind lgtm.com. In this episode of OWASP 24/7, I speak with research team at Semmle on how they discovered the vulnerability. Also, Brian Fox joins the discussion on the process for responsible disclosure, different ways to approach it and what other companies and projects are doing when a vulnerability is found in their project. About Man Yue Mo — Security Researcher at Semmle for lgtm.com During his PhD in mathematics at Oxford, Mo became interested in scientific algorithm development with a focus on data science and machine learning. At Semmle, Mo developed an interest in Semmle's core technology for writing queries over source code. This QL query technology is freely available on lgtm.com for the open source community to use for analyzing their code. Mo has since used QL to identify numerous security vulnerabilities
