Synack’s Top 5 Vulnerabilities Found in 2022

6 February 2023 at 06:00

IT and Cybersecurity leaders need the clearest picture of their networks and assets to understand if their organizations are at risk and what to do about it. When it comes to looking ahead at zero day vulnerabilities, it can be helpful for leaders to first look back to understand the collective strengths and weaknesses of the cybersecurity industry and the effects they’ve had on the different risks and threats it’s tasked with analyzing and preventing.

As a helpful tool for 2023 strategic cybersecurity planning, we’re highlighting the most common vulnerability categories found in 2022, across more than 27,000 discovered vulnerabilities by the Synack Red Team. Each of these vulnerabilities have the potential to pose significant threats to large organizations and will continue to be monitored as we move through the year.

Here are the top five vulnerability categories found by Synack in 2022:

#1 Authorization Permission

The most common vulnerability found in 2022 relates to improper authorizations. With authorizations, a user’s right to “access a given resource [is] based on the user’s privileges and any permissions or other access-control specifications that apply to the resource.” In this case, unauthorized users may gain access to resources or initiate unwanted actions that they should not be allowed to perform, potentially leading to data exposures, DoS or arbitrary code execution.

#2 Cross Site Request Forgery

The runner up vulnerability is Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF), which is an attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they’re currently authenticated. With a little help of social engineering (such as sending a link via email or chat), an attacker may trick the users of a web application into executing actions of the attacker’s choosing. If the victim is a normal user, a successful CSRF attack can force the user to perform state changing requests like transferring funds, changing their email address and so forth. If the victim is an administrative account, CSRF can compromise the entire web application.

#3 Information Disclosure

Information Disclosure can occur due to security mistakes which expose sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. Information exposures can occur in different ways, resulting from mistakes that occur in behaviors that explicitly manage, store, transfer or cleanse sensitive information. 

#4 SQL Injection

This attack style consists of insertion or injection of a SQL query via the input data from client to application. A successful exploit of this style can read and even modify sensitive data, execute admin functions (including shutting down systems), and in some cases, issue commands to an operating system.

#5 Authentication Session Management

Broken Authentication Session Management vulnerabilities round out the Top 5 found by Synack in 2022. Websites may require users to login using a username and password, MFA or other authentication schemes, which may contain exploitable vulnerabilities. The site will assign and send each logged in visitor a unique session ID that serves as a key to the user’s identity on the server, if the session ID is not properly secured a cybercriminal can impersonate a valid user and access that user’s account.

How to Reduce Your Exposure to a Top 5 Vulnerability

Synack offers an offensive security testing platform allowing enterprise customers to track exploitable vulnerabilities in their environment and to close security gaps before they can be exploited by bad actors. The Synack Platform pairs the Synack Red Team, a community of 1,500 expert and vetted adversarial researchers, with the machine intelligence in our platform. Synack’s security testing missions cover web assets and host assets, as well as mobile, cloud and API security.

If you’re not penetration testing on a continuous basis, you should be. Talk to your Synack rep or your authorized security sales representative to learn more about strategic security testing.

Synack Celebrates Cybersecurity Awareness Month

By: Synack
3 October 2022 at 15:10

The cybersecurity industry continuously evolves to keep up with fast-moving threats. But for nearly two decades, there’s been at least one constant: October marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month! 

Launched by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2004 to raise public awareness about digital risks, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has since grown into a global phenomenon, drawing government and private sector participation from Ukraine to Japan. 

We at Synack are honoring this year’s theme, See Yourself in Cyber, with an array of content and events that kicked off Saturday, Oct. 1, in western India. Synack solutions architect Hudney Piquant delivered a timely talk at the BSides Ahmedabad conference on securing the human element in the cyber industry, emphasizing the importance of effective education and training. 

The See Yourself in Cyber theme, chosen by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the nonprofit National Cybersecurity Alliance, recognizes that not everyone needs to have a technical background to contribute to the collective defense of our most critical networks. From accountants to recruiters, pentesters to policymakers – everyone has a role to play. With an estimated 700,000 open cybersecurity positions in the U.S. alone, there’s an urgent need to build a bigger tent for the cybersecurity community and welcome individuals of diverse backgrounds and skill sets. Closing the cyber talent gap can start with personal effort. 

“As the threat of malicious cyber activities grows, we must all do our part to keep our Nation safe and secure,” President Biden said in a White House proclamation Friday

That can mean enabling multi-factor authentication, using a password manager or keeping software up to date, as the White House pointed out. But it can also mean providing mentorship, crafting a welcoming environment for anyone interested in cybersecurity and sharing the tools and technologies needed to secure our increasingly interconnected world. 

At Synack, we believe that diverse perspectives in security testing are essential to hardening systems against the full spectrum of cyberthreats. That means opening doors for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds through programs like the Synack Academy, which is designed to build student participants’ cybersecurity education and skills while recognizing their unique circumstances and providing mentorship. We empower members of our elite Synack Red Team community of security researchers through the Artemis Red Team, a community open to women, trans and nonbinary security professionals and others who identify as a gender minority. 

So keep an eye out this month as us Synackers do our part to promote cybersecurity awareness. We’ll be adding new entries to our Exploits Explained blog series, in which Synack Red Team members share insights on the latest threats and vulnerabilities gleaned from years of pentesting. You can hear our CEO and co-founder, Jay Kaplan, speak to security talent and prioritization strategies at an Oct. 19 webinar on A Better Way to Pentest for Compliance. Or you can catch us at one of several upcoming cybersecurity events, from CyberGov UK to the SecTor conference in Canada. And we’ll continue to offer helpful and engaging cyber content through our WE’RE IN! podcast, the README cybersecurity news source and our social media channels including Twitter and LinkedIn

The cybersecurity industry can seem like it’s full of intractable and highly technical problems, whether it’s new challenges like API security testing or old threats like phishing. But our collective success in defending society from cyberattacks hinges on each of us. CISA said it best when unveiling this year’s See Yourself in Cyber theme: “While cybersecurity may seem like a complex subject, ultimately, it’s really all about people.” 

Tackling our biggest security challenges will take collaboration and creativity. We hope you can See Yourself in Cyber, engage in this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month programming and get in touch with us if we can help. 

Happy October!

Synack at Black Hat: Leading You Through the Security Jungle

By: Synack
12 August 2022 at 13:27

The Black Hat cybersecurity conference celebrated its 25th birthday in Las Vegas this week – and Synack was there to mark the occasion in style.

We staged a safari adventure in the Black Hat Business Hall, replete with hanging vines, lush foliage, cheetah swag and the sounds of the jungle. We showed attendees how our security testing platform can be their trusted guide by offering access to our highly skilled, vetted and diverse crew of Synack Red Team security researchers.

When it comes to cybersecurity, it’s a jungle out there. Black Hat speakers drove home just how tangled and daunting the threat landscape has become.

“Things are going to get worse before they get better,” said Chris Krebs, inaugural director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who delivered Black Hat’s keynote Wednesday. “The bad actors are getting their wins, and until we make meaningful consequences and impose costs on them, they will continue.”

Krebs, a founding partner of the Krebs Stamos Group cyber consultancy, also spoke to the urgency of the talent gap in cybersecurity that stands at an estimated 700,000 infosec pros in the U.S. alone and at least four times that number globally.

“It’s been confounding to me how we continue to face workforce shortages,” Krebs said. “We hear about the 3 million open cybersecurity jobs in the community, and I’m just trying to figure out why are we not solving the gap.”

Here are some other themes to emerge from this year’s talks:

  • Ransomware remains a top-tier threat. To coincide with Black Hat, the U.S. State Department announced it’s offering a $10 million reward for information on several members of the Conti ransomware gang, which has wreaked havoc in U.S. healthcare and emergency services networks.
  • The COVID-era digital transformation is here to stay. Underscoring that point, organizers held Black Hat in a hybrid format, with some infosec pros visiting Las Vegas in person and others tuning in online. (We followed suit, offering a Synack virtual booth experience – though remote attendees missed out on smoothies and Jungle Juice at our tiki bar.) COVID has spurred a rush to the cloud, introducing new challenges and vulnerabilities as employees log in from home.
  • API security is a leading concern for CISOs. No one said securing application programming interfaces would be easy. From misconfigurations to vulnerabilities, APIs present a deluge of cyber risks despite being the beating heart of many modern applications. The Business Hall was abuzz over API security, but no one seems to have cracked the code as new breaches crop up seemingly every day.
  • The pace of DevOps calls for constant security testing. The continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline empowers developers to make fast and efficient changes to their code, removing bottlenecks by automating the process as much as possible. But CI/CD pipelines now “control so much” that they’re upending the cyber risk environment for many organizations by introducing supply chain vulnerabilities, Chris Eng, chief research officer at Veracode, said in a closing panel yesterday. “It’s a different threat model than 10 years ago, when all you had to worry about was being attacked directly, or individually,” he said.
  • Log4j is simple to exploit but still hard to find. The bombshell Log4j vulnerability sent security teams scrambling when it came to light in December 2021. But we’ve hardly seen the last of the critical flaw in the popular open source logging tool. “Easy stuff to exploit got cleaned up, but I think you will continue to see malicious threat actors innovate the way they find and exploit this,” said Heather Adkins, vice president of security engineering at Google, at a Black Hat talk on Log4j. “It will be around for a long, long time.”

Our Black Hat Experience

Synack solutions architect Hudney Piquant spoke to how seemingly secure attack surfaces can be vulnerable tomorrow to long-lasting threats like Log4j. Piquant shared his cyber survival knowledge in “the Cave” at Synack’s Black Hat booth, where members of the Synack Red Team also offered hard-won insights into remediating vulnerabilities that matter.

“To survive, companies need to start discovering their assets, analyzing their assets with a hacker’s perspective and continuously scanning their external attack surface,” Piquant said. “The reason all three of these things are important is because hackers are doing all three things as well.”

We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth, scheduled one-on-one meetings with us in our executive suite at the Delano Hotel or joined us at the many events we organized or attended throughout Black Hat.

We enjoyed some friendly competition in a 9-hole golf tournament to kick off the week, co-hosted an exclusive whiskey tasting with Microsoft, sponsored a reception at the Cosmopolitan with the Retail and Hospitality Information Sharing and Analysis Center and raised a glass with security peers and investors at a happy hour held by GGV Capital and its portfolio partners.

And that’s not to mention our Rainbow-level sponsorship of the Diana Initiative conference that coincided with Black Hat, our many customer and employee dinners, the one-on-one meetings in our suite and the memorable product demos with security practitioners. We also boosted global reforestation by supporting One Tree Planted at our jungle-themed booth. 

If you missed us at Black Hat, don’t worry: Many Synackers and SRT members are sticking around in Vegas for DEF CON, which runs through Sunday! Look out for the security pros wearing swanky tuxedo shirts, in line with DEF CON’s “Hacker Homecoming” theme. And you can always click here to schedule a demo to learn how Synack’s platform can help deliver a better security testing experience.

In the meantime, we wish you luck as you continue your journey through the cyber wilderness!

A Tale of Two Conferences: Synack Stood Out at RSA and Gartner

By: Synack
16 June 2022 at 12:10

Two highly anticipated cybersecurity events last week drew us to the Bay Area and the Capital Beltway: The RSA Conference in San Francisco and the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit in National Harbor, Md.

Synack had both coasts covered, and we were delighted to reconnect with so many of our customers, partners and colleagues. We showcased how our unique pentesting experience can find the vulnerabilities that matter, keeping urgent threats at bay while bridging the cybersecurity talent gap.

We also brought the party! From rocking out to a Journey cover band in San Francisco to sipping margaritas while soaking in the lights of National Harbor’s famous Ferris wheel, here are some highlights from the two in-person events:

Journey by the Bay 

San Francisco, we missed you! 

Synack team in front of Fogo de Chao in San Francisco

The last time Synack hosted RSA attendees at Moscone Center neighbor, Fogo de Chão, was in February 2020, the COVID pandemic had yet to upend life in the U.S. “Zero trust” was just beginning to be a buzzword, and many federal agencies were facing deadlines to develop their first-ever vulnerability disclosure policies. 

What a journey it’s been. After a two-year hiatus and a COVID-related shuffle from its original dates in February 2022, RSA finally came back to the city by the bay bearing the theme, “Transform.”

We were ready to make our own triumphant return to Fogo de Chão, just 98 steps from the conference in Moscone Center. Our “Journey by the Bay” experience kicked off early on Tuesday, June 7, with a breakfast panel celebrating women in cybersecurity. (Read more about the inspiring event here.) 

Tiffany Gates talks to other panelists at RSA 2022.

The discussion highlighted Synack’s Inclusive company value: “Diversity is at the core of what we do at Synack, and it’s made its way into our culture as well,” Synack Chief Marketing Officer Claire Trimble said at the breakfast. 

During the day, RSA attendees stopped by to see Synack in action, discovering how we are bridging the talent gap with on-demand security talent from our elite Synack Red Team. We showed off our On-Demand Security Testing Platform, which gives organizations a central view of all pentest assessments and offers easy-to-digest reports and metrics to track progress over time (and meet compliance requirements). And we highlighted Synack’s wide-ranging contributions to the cybersecurity media landscape through the README news site, the weekly Changelog newsletter and the We’re In! podcast.

As RSA let out and the lights went down in the city, we hosted Journey tribute band Forejour, who played hits like Don’t Stop Believin’ and Any Way You Want It. Our guests enjoyed more than a few rounds of caipirinhas – not to mention Fogo de Chão’s legendary barbecued meats. 

On Wednesday morning, Synack CTO and co-founder Mark Kuhr led a breakfast discussion on “A Better Way to Pentest,” demonstrating how Synack combines the best of human intelligence and machine intelligence to offer a peerless pentesting experience.

As the conference started to wind down, we gathered for one last happy hour to toast to a successful event. We also streamed Game 3 of the NBA Finals to (mostly) cheer on the Warriors.

Throughout the week, guests had the chance to get to know many of Synack’s sponsors, including Accenture Federal Services, Arkose Labs, AttackIQ, Bolster, Netography, Netskope and SynSaber. We’re grateful for their support and can’t wait to see them at future events! 

Embracing change at Gartner 

Meanwhile in National Harbor, the Gartner summit returned to an in-person format for the first time since 2019, highlighting the latest actionable research and advice for security leaders.

Synack employees in front of the Synack booth at Gartner in National Harbor, MD.

Wednesday saw Synack CEO and co-founder Jay Kaplan present on “Staying Secure in the Midst of a Talent Crisis.” Kaplan shared how he and Kuhr launched the company to help organizations struggling to find the right talent to fend off constantly evolving cyberthreats.

“We do things differently by leveraging a global crowdsourced network of highly vetted security researchers in over 90 countries to perform on-demand and continuous testing to discover every vulnerability that matters,” Kaplan said. 

As trends in digitization and automation drastically expand the attack surface visible to cyber adversaries, security systems and testing must change to keep up, he pointed out.

Organizations facing increasingly sophisticated threats “are being scanned every day—they just don’t get the report,” Kaplan said.  

That evening, Synack hosted a Fresh Air Fiesta at Rosa Mexicano, steps from the Gartner show floor at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Over margaritas and massive bowls of guacamole, we met with customers and made many new connections. 

Between the two major infosec events, it was an epic week for all of us at Synack. We’d like to thank everyone who joined us or followed along on social media

Building a Bigger Tent in Cybersecurity: Lessons from Synack’s Celebrating Women in Cyber Breakfast

By: Synack
7 June 2022 at 17:11

This morning, Synack gathered a distinguished panel of women in cybersecurity to share their perspectives on the cybersecurity talent gap and offer lessons for supporting the next generation of women leaders.

Men still outnumber women by three to one in the cybersecurity industry, according to a recent (ISC)² report, despite evidence that a more diverse workforce drives better business and security outcomes. While executives at many organizations have acknowledged the problem, they’ve often struggled to find actionable solutions to address this talent gap.

At Fogo de Chão, steps away from the RSA Conference in San Francisco, Synack hosted Kiersten Todt, Chief of Staff at the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; Betsy Wille, Chief Information Security Officer, Abbott; Tiffany Gates, Senior Managing Director for the National Security Portfolio at Accenture Federal Services; and Edna Conway, VP, Security and Risk Officer, Azure Hardware Systems and Infrastructure at Microsoft, for an intimate conversation moderated by Jill Aitoro, SVP of Content Strategy at the CyberRisk Alliance.

Among the insights from the panel: It’s one thing to hire top talent, it’s another to make women feel like they belong at an organization. And security leaders will need to shake things up to meet aggressive goals like CISA’s plan to have women represent 50% of the agency’s work force by 2030, up from about 36% now.

“We have to be ambitious. We have to be disruptive, because the only way we’re going to get there is by undoing some of the things we’ve done today,” Todt said.

Other key takeaways from Synack’s Celebrating Women in Cyber Breakfast:

Start early

 “We need to be bringing this terminology, this language, to kids in elementary school,” Todt said. “We have to surround them with this field so that they’re able to pull these factors in and grow up with it, so when they’re in high school, they can see the interest they have in these areas.”

Educational institutions will have to move fast to meet the talent needs of a rapidly evolving sector like cybersecurity.  

“I do think there’s a huge opportunity to grow this field much more substantively than we have, because it actually encompasses everything that we do,” Todt said. “There is no greater field that should truly represent the planet.”

Empower advocates

Gates of Accenture, who described herself as “terrible” with numbers, reached out to mentors in a range of fields while forging her own career path.

“Don’t flop toward someone who is just like you,” she said. “I want to be mentored by someone who was in the finance shop, just to better understand the kinds of obstacles and challenges they were dealing with.”

Conway, who said she’s currently a mentor to 14 people, pointed out that advocates like her “need to listen more than we speak, because each of our colleagues comes to the table with something different.”

Build a different kind of pipeline

Heavy turnover in the cybersecurity field has opened important conversations on alternative hiring pipelines, said Wille of Abbott. “We’re in better company than maybe we were a couple years ago in pushing the idea that the traditional means of education are not going to be the only places we can look. We’ve seen that improve,” she said.

Wille pointed out that a few months after starting work at Abbott, she was able to onboard someone who showed initiative but had no college degree on file because the company had enabled that level of hire. The employee has since been promoted, and Wille said she would “hire 10” just like her if she could.

Still, challenges persist in areas like security clearances, which can be integral to a federal cybersecurity career but trip up many candidates.

“When we talk about how hard it is to find women that we can bring in, now take 20% of that available pool,” Gates said. “That is what I have to work with, because the number of cleared resources in this community just decimates the number of women that I have available to choose from.”

Commit to learning

 “Talent doesn’t come in one container, it doesn’t come with one linear trajectory,” Todt said. “We have to do a better job opening up the aperture.”

Poorly written or overly demanding job descriptions can turn away prospective candidates at the front door. Instilling the courage to apply in the first place is key, but that’s not the end of the story.

“It’s not just to have confidence, but quite frankly to step up and be willing to do the work to figure out what you need to learn and go learn it,” said Conway, who pointed out that she has a degree in medieval renaissance literature but built her career in tech by continuously asking questions. “The burden falls on each and every one of us… Reach out, pull up, help, kick in the derriere when needed and do it with care, do it with humility, and you’ll be amazed what happens. We are a powerful force together: Never forget that.”

Royal Market

Royal Market Dispute System

Buyer or Seller, while pressing the Dispute button, cancels all automation. From that time, we have a communication system ready for both sides. The administration is aware of every dispute and has access to the communication between Buyer and Vendor. If both parties cannot agree, Admin decides which side is a winning side. The buyer can also close and finalize the Dispute unassisted, anytime while it is open. Please keep in mind that every Vendor should have personal Terms of Service, and we can try to push the Vendor to execute them. Royal Market is not reliable for the quality of an item. If the Buyer got purchased item but is not happy about the quality, the fair is to finalize the order but leave Neutral or Negative feedback with the proper description.

Royal Market Report System

In case you suspect something, don’t like something, or think that you was/may get scammed, you got the option to: report a vendor, report a buyer, report a listing, report a custom shop, report a support agent, report a bug or any type of problem. All you have to do is click on the Report button located in: each listing, each custom shop, each buyer profile, each seller profile, each support agent profile. Once you clicked the Report button, please be very specified and include as much information as possible. Once the admin reads out the support he will either Accept it or Reject it. You will be notified of both. Accepted/Rejected reports will be displayed into the reported user profile once solutioned by the admin. Reports will affect user rating if Accepted and will not affect the ratings if Rejected.

Royal Market Referal Program

Join our REFERRAL Program to get endless streams of income. Recommend Royal Market Market and earn commission on each purchase or sale.

All you need to do is to go to /myprofile/refferal , copy your refferal link and share it around. This way you will get your own, unique Invitation Code which you can share with others. If user creates an account and use this code while signing up, he becomes your referral.

We are very generous and we offer 50 % off our commission.

How does it work ?
Once you have referred coupe of users and they either become vendors or start buying products, once the deal / order ends successfully 50 % off the earned fee ( currently 3 % global market fee ) will be automatically transferred into your specified withdraw wallet ).

You can view your referral statistics and referral list here: /profile/refferal

Sales From Other markets

We have built a nice feature in order for you vendors and buyers. Now, total sales from other markets are counted and displayed into all your listings, into your profile, into your custom shop and it will be displayed after your name, example:
Vendor (0) (0) – first (0) represents total sales on Royal Market, second (0) represents total sales on other markets. For example, if you had 200 sales on Empire market, 300 sales on Alphabay market and 150 sales on Dark Market, it will show as this; Vendor (0) (650) ( which is visible almost everywhere on the market )
Total sales on other markets will be also displayed into your listings, profile and custom shop.

Have stats from other markets that have not been imported ? Create a support ticket and request it.

WHY MY CUSTOM SHOP SHOWS AS INACTIVE AND DOESN’T APPEAR IN /SHOPS?

When your Custom Shop status shows INACTIVE that means you did not:

  1. Set a name ( that will generate a one time link for your shop / the name and link can never be changed so chose carefully )
  2. Set a description
