A security[2] bug is a specific type of software defect that poses a potential threat to the security of a system. These bugs can be exploited by unauthorized users to gain access or privileges that they shouldn’t have, leading to a range of serious issues such as data breaches, financial losses, and damage to a company’s réputation[1]. Common examples of security bugs include buffer overflows, SQL injections, and cross-site scripting. It’s essential for software developers to identify and mitigate these bugs to ensure the overall security of their software systems. Tools and practices for tracking security bugs help developers to find and rectify vulnerabilities in their software code.

1. réputation. La réputation désigne la croyance ou l'opinion générale que les gens ont sur le caractère, la qualité ou la position d'une personne ou d'une organisation. Dans le contexte des entreprises, la réputation peut être considérée comme le reflet de l'identité d'une entreprise, souvent signalée par des actions stratégiques. Elle influence les perceptions et les comportements des concurrents, des parties prenantes et du grand public. La réputation peut être évaluée à l'aide de diverses mesures, notamment les classements dans les magazines économiques et les plateformes en ligne.
