About this tag
Discussions tagged with java security cover vulnerabilities and protections affecting Java applications on Windows and Azure. Topics include CVE-2025-48924 in Apache Commons Lang, which can cause uncontrolled recursion via ClassUtils.getClass, and CVE-2022-3509 in Google's Protocol Buffers Java implementation, a parsing bug leading to denial-of-service through excessive garbage collection. Also explored is Waratek Locker BYOS RASP, a runtime application self-protection approach for Java on Azure, and recovery from the older Exploit:Java/CVE-2013-1493, which involved browser redirects and required disabling Java. These threads emphasize patching, hardening, and validating security claims for Java deployments.

    Waratek Locker BYOS RASP for Java on Azure: Claims vs Validation

    Waratek’s Locker promised a practical "bring your own security" (BYOS) approach for Java applications on Microsoft Azure — a lightweight, JVM‑embedded container that applies Runtime Application Self‑Protection (RASP) policies without touching application code — and while the idea remains...
