Black Duck today announced the launch of Black Duck Signal, a new agentic AI platform designed to secure software at the same speed it’s now being developed with AI coding tools.

As AI-driven development accelerates, traditional security testing methods have struggled to keep pace. Black Duck Signal aims to bridge that gap by combining two decades of the company’s software security expertise with large language model (LLM)-powered software analysis to autonomously detect and remediate vulnerabilities across source code, binaries, supply chain components, and running applications.

The rise of AI coding assistants and autonomous agent workflows has transformed how software is built. Still, it has introduced new challenges in ensuring the security of AI-generated code. Signal is purpose-built for this era, working natively within AI-enabled development environments to identify, prioritise, and fix vulnerabilities in real time.

Unlike generic AI tools, Signal blends advanced multi-model LLM technology with human-labeled application security intelligence from the Black Duck KnowledgeBase, a vast repository built over years of analysis of both open-source and commercial software. The result is a system that provides accurate, context-aware insights without the noise, hallucinations, or false positives that often plague automated code analysis.

Signal’s agentic architecture enables both developers and security teams to work more efficiently by integrating directly with AI coding assistants such as Google Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor, as well as with other Black Duck security products. The platform’s real-time analysis capabilities allow it to scan new and modified code as it’s written, ensuring continuous protection without slowing down the development process.

“AI is revolutionizing how software is built—and with Signal, Black Duck is redefining how you secure it by completely eliminating the noise of legacy tools,” said Jason Schmitt, CEO of Black Duck. “Developers are moving faster than ever, embracing AI to build and deliver software at unprecedented speed. Signal is the first programming language-agnostic security analysis product to combine the power of LLM-based code analysis with petabytes of human-labeled security data curated over our decades of analysing real-world commercial and open-source software. Signal is designed to give developers the clarity, confidence, and control they need to innovate securely—without slowing down.”

In addition to real-time code analysis, Signal automates the remediation process with verified code fixes and library patching, reducing manual effort while maintaining developer control. It also brings advanced exploitability analysis to reduce alert fatigue and focuses attention on the vulnerabilities that matter most. Beyond traditional vulnerability scanning, Signal’s AI-driven detection of business logic flaws gives teams visibility into application-level zero-days that typically evade rule-based systems.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.

• Adobe ColdFusion is a rapid web application development platform that uses the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML).
• Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a content management and experience management system that helps businesses build and manage their digital presence across various platforms.
• The Adobe DNG Software Development Kit (SDK) is a free set of tools and code from Adobe that helps developers add support for Adobe's Digital Negative (DNG) universal RAW file format into their own applications and cameras, enabling them to read, write, and process DNG images, solving workflow issues and improving archiving for digital photos.
• Adobe Acrobat is a suite of paid tools for creating, editing, converting, and managing PDF documents.
• The Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app is the central hub for managing all Adobe creative applications, files, and assets.

Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Microsoft products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could result in an attacker gaining the same privileges as the logged-on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
