There Is No Patch Tuesday on the Blockchain: Why Solidity Developers Need Fusion-Grade AppSec Before They Deploy
Checkmarx argues Solidity developers need pre-deployment AppSec because disclosure-to-weaponization time has collapsed from 840 days to 1.6 days.
A Checkmarx write-up contrasts traditional software patch cycles with blockchain development, where there is no Patch Tuesday and fixes require on-chain upgrades. It cites stats that median disclosure-to-weaponization time collapsed from 840 days to 1.6 days and that 80% of exploitations now occur on or before disclosure day. The piece advocates fusion-grade application security for Solidity teams before contracts deploy.
- Median disclosure-to-weaponization window shrank from 840 days to 1.6 days
- 80% of exploitations occur on or before disclosure day
- Solidity lacks patch cycles, making pre-deployment security critical
- Advocates comprehensive AppSec before blockchain deployment
From the original article
For most software teams, security is a race against a clock. The median time from vulnerability disclosure to weaponization has collapsed from 840 days to 1. 6 days, and 80% of exploitations now occur on or before the day of disclosure.
