Despite IBM i being one of the most secure platforms, modernization and integration with external apps and devices expose new risks like SQL injection and unsafe APIs.

What are CVEs and how do they apply to IBM i applications?<\/h3><\/div>To help organizations face growing security risks, the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) nonprofit program was launched to catalog software vulnerabilities into a public and freely available \u201cdictionary\u201d. Each CVE lists a specific vulnerability or exposure and uses a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is used to evaluate the \u2018threat level\u2019.<\/p>\n
Each vulnerability is assigned a CVSS base score between 0.0 and 10.0 \u2014 a score of 0.0 represents no risk and 9.0 \u2013 10.0 is a\u202fcritical risk score..<\/p>\n<\/div>

Designed specifically for IBM i, ARCAD CodeChecker<\/a> is a key element of any DevSecOps implementation. The tool automates the detection of security vulnerabilities in RPG and CL code. It acts as a standalone \u2018quality gate\u2019 that can plug into any DevOps cycle.<\/p>\nARCAD CodeChecker<\/a> integrates with RDi making it easy for developers to check for security flaws as they code.
