A path traversal flaw in the Rust async-tar library has people looking harder at archive extraction security on Linux. Researchers are calling it TARmageddon, which fits. It's not a kernel panic or a zero-day bomb, but it's the kind of quiet bug that ends up everywhere '' build servers, CI pipelines, container images.

Cyber threats move faster than teams can track them. Exploits surface, get patched, and come back wearing new code. Staying secure now means reading the landscape before it shifts. Every day, thousands of new indicators roll in '' from open-source feeds, sensors, honeypots, and shared research. Nobody can keep up manually.

Security scales poorly. What worked for ten apps starts breaking at a hundred. Each new service adds another scanner, another report, another backlog of findings that no one has time to triage.
