Rapid7 flames JetBrains over vulnerability disclosure
Security shop Rapid7 is criticizing JetBrains for flouting its policy against silent patching regarding fixes for two fresh vulnerabilities in the TeamCity CI/CD server. Rapid7 says it reported the two TeamCity vulnerabilities in mid-February, claiming JetBrains soon after suggested releasing patches for the flaws before publicly disclosing them. Such a move is typically seen as a no-no by the infosec community, which favors transparency, but there's apparently a time and a place for these things.
