[SC-L] Project announce: The OWASP Source Code Flaws Top 10
Hello leaders, I'm really happy to announce a new documentation project I started today. Our Top 10 most critical web app vulnerabilities is the standard de facto when trying to summarize findings when you assess a web application. And it is great. Looking at source code assessment (or code review, or static analysis, or whatever the name you want to use :-)), nothing like this exists. Gary McGraw introduced the 7 kingdoms as taxonomy. I started looking at this great job extending it to meet Owasp Top 10 like template. I also used categories that I found useful to gather security code review findings in. That's why I started this Top 10 project. The goal is to provide something useful in Owasp Code Review Guide while trying to organize security issues and the second goal is to use it as Owasp Orizon default library cookbooks in order to have a fil rouge from Code review guide and the implementing tool. The Source code flaws Top 10 will be that fil rouge. I really hope that everyone interested will subscribe to mailing list and give some contributions to this document I'd like to release as beta quality project in the next AppSec Europe 2009 in Cracow.

[SC-L] top 10 software security surprises
hi sc-l, Using the software security framework introduced in October (A Software Security Framework: Working Towards a Realistic Maturity Model http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1271382), we interviewed nine executives running top software security programs in order to gather real data from real programs. Our goal is to create a maturity model based on these data, and we're busy working on that (stay tuned here for more). However, in the course of analyzing the data we gathered, we unearthed some surprises that we share in this month's informIT article: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1315431 My bet is that some of the findings will come as a surprise to sc-l readers as well. Check the article out.

Re: [SC-L] top 10 software security surprises
Hey All. On the topic of maturity models, in Gary's first article he mentioned a draft model I created. Since I've mostly been discussing it in OWASP circles, I wanted to point out the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) project at http://www.opensamm.org I kicked off that work based on a few years experience running with CLASP and with help from the guys at Fortify. Currently, there's a BETA release ( http://www.opensamm.org/downloads/SAMM-BETA-0.8.1.pdf), but a new revision should be available by the end of year. That next revision will reflect feedback from individual reviewers, output from OWASP working sessions, and much of the real-world feedback that Gary talks about below. I'm always interested to hear comments/questions/flames, so please feel free to download it and send any feedback. Thanks! p.
