<p dir="auto">Josh discusses the TARmageddon vulnerability with Alex Zenla, CTO of Edera. In this episode, we explore the discovery of the TARmageddon vulnerability. It's especially interesting because it's Rust, but also involves multiple end of life crates. Alex shares the story of how Edera managed to figure all this out (it was not simple). Hard problems are still hard, but there's a lot of lessons in this one.</p> <p dir="auto">The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at <a href= "https://opensourcesecurity.io/2025/2025-12-tarmageddon-alex/" rel= "nofollow">https://opensourcesecurity.io/2025/2025-12-tarmageddon-alex/</a></p>

Updating open source dependencies with Jamie Tanna

Open Source Security is a media project to help showcase and educate on open source security. Our goal is to give the community a platform educate both developers and users on how open source security works.

There's a lot of good work happening that doesn't get attention because there's no marketing department behind it, they don't have a developer relations team posting on LinkedIn every two hours. Let's focus on those people and teams then learn what they do and how they do it. The goal is to hear from the people doing the work, they know what's up, they have a lot to teach us. We just have to listen.
