Interstitial Risk: How Two Secure Systems Can Create One Vulnerable System
Interstitial risk in software highlights vulnerabilities between components that traditional scans miss, creating security blind spots for engineers.
A subtle type of vulnerability known as interstitial risk arises in the gaps between software components. Traditional security scans often overlook these gaps, leading to a false sense of security. This entry discusses practical examples of how these vulnerabilities manifest and their significance for engineers.
