Remote Code Execution flaws continue to undermine Kubernetes ingress integrity. IngressNightmare (CVE-2025-1097, CVE-2025-1098, CVE-2025-24514, CVE-2025-1974) showcases severe threat vectors in NGINX-based proxies, leading to cluster-wide exposure. ASPM, robust remediation tactics, and strong application security solutions—like Phoenix Security—mitigate these vulnerabilities before ransomware groups exploit them.

The recent Google acquisition of Wiz for $32 billion has sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity industry, particularly in the realm of Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). This monumental deal highlights the critical importance of cloud security and the growing demand for robust ASPM solutions. While the acquisition promises potential benefits for Google Cloud users, it also raises concerns about vendor lock-in and the future of cloud-agnostic security. Explore the implications of this acquisition and discover how neutral ASPM solutions like Phoenix Security can bridge the gap in multi-cloud environments, ensuring continuous, collaborative, and comprehensive security from code to cloud.” – Find Assets/Vulns by Scanner – Detailed findings Location information Risk-based Posture Management – Risk and Risk Magnitude for Assets – Filter assets and vulnerabilities by source scanner Integrations – BurpSuite XML Import – Assessment Import API Other Improvements – Improved multi-selection in filters – New CVSS Score column in Vulnerabilities

Discover CVE-2025-30066 tj-actions/changed-files GitHub Action has been compromised, exposing secrets in CI/CD pipelines and posing a major software supply chain security risk. Attackers injected malicious code into all versions (V1–V45), repointing existing tags to a compromised commit that exfiltrated credentials via GitHub Actions logs. Immediate remediation is required—organizations must scan their repositories, rotate secrets, and replace the action to mitigate risk. Learn how Phoenix Security’s ASPM can automate threat detection and enhance GitHub Actions security.
