In this Soap Box edition of the Risky Business podcast Patrick Gray chats with Socket founder Feross Aboukhadijeh about how to measure the reachability of vulnerabilities in applications.
It’s great to know there’s a CVE in a library you’re using, but it’s even better if you can say whether or not that vulnerability actually impacts your application.
They also talk about how Socket started out as a way to discover malicious packages in software projects, but these days it’s playing the CVE game as well.
