Continuous integration is a software engineering practice of frequently merging all developer working copies with a shared main branch, e.g., several times a day. With the advent of GitHub, a platform well known for its "social coding"…
Misconfiguration, excessive privilege, and fragmented controls remain major causes of cloud-infrastructure incidents. This paper proposes an open-source framework that contributes a cross-platform identity-resource graph for Kubernetes and…
While most security projects have focused on fending off attacks coming from outside the organizational boundaries, a real threat has arisen from the people who are inside those perimeter protections. Insider threats have shown their power…
Social media platforms have become more influential than traditional news sources, shaping public discourse and accelerating the spread of information. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), open-source software (OSS)…
To foster collaboration and inclusivity in Open Source Software (OSS) projects, it is crucial to understand and detect patterns of toxic language that may drive contributors away, especially those from underrepresented communities. Although…
We present a dataset of open source software developed mainly by enterprises rather than volunteers. This can be used to address known generalizability concerns, and, also, to perform research on open source business software development.…
Hardware security is an important concern of system security as vulnerabilities can arise from design errors introduced throughout the development lifecycle. Recent works have proposed techniques to detect hardware security bugs, such as…
Open-source software (OSS) has become increasingly more popular across different domains. However, this rapid development and widespread adoption come with a security cost. The growing complexity and openness of OSS ecosystems have led to…
In the dynamic landscape of open source software (OSS) development, understanding and addressing incivility within issue discussions is crucial for fostering healthy and productive collaborations. This paper presents a curated dataset of…
Background: Much research has been conducted to investigate the impact of Continuous Integration (CI) on the productivity and quality of open-source projects. Most of studies have analyzed the impact of adopting a CI server service (e.g,…
The availability of open-source projects facilitates developers to contribute and collaborate on a wide range of projects. As a result, the developer community contributing to such open-source projects is also increasing. Many of the…
The gender gap is a significant concern facing the software industry as the development becomes more geographically distributed. Widely shared reports indicate that gender differences may be specific to each region. However, how complete…
Hidden license conflicts in the open-source AI ecosystem pose serious legal and ethical risks, exposing organizations to potential litigation and users to undisclosed risk. However, the field lacks a data-driven understanding of how…
This document explores the advantages of integrating open source software and practices in managing a scientific lab, emphasizing reproducibility and the avoidance of pitfalls. It details practical applications from website management using…
Context: The Heartbleed vulnerability brought OpenSSL to international attention in 2014. The almost moribund project was a key security component in public web servers and over a billion mobile devices. This vulnerability led to new…
Version control systems for source code, such as Git, are key tools in modern software development environments. Many developers use online services, such as GitHub or GitLab, for collaborative software development. While software projects…
According to GitGuardian's monitoring of public GitHub repositories, the exposure of secrets (API keys and other credentials) increased two-fold in 2021 compared to 2020, totaling more than six million secrets. However, no benchmark dataset…
Open Source Software (OSS) plays an important role in the digital economy. Yet although software production is amenable to remote collaboration and its outputs are easily shared across distances, software development seems to cluster…
We design and develop a secret-sharing-scheme-based cyberattack detection model(S3CDM)that can detect unauthorized or illegal activities (especially insider attacks) and protect sensitive information within complex network infrastructures…
Open-source software serves as a foundation for the internet and the cyber supply chain, but its exploitation is becoming increasingly prevalent. While advances in vulnerability detection for OSS have been significant, prior research has…
