Who are you? Who? Who? If you’ve ever hummed that song to yourself when coding, then you already know the fundamental use case for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP is the protocol that communicates access and authentication data across various technologies. As a vendor-neutral, open protocol, LDAP works with proprietary directory tools, like […]
READ MOREIntroduction HTTP Security Headers are akin to the guardians of web security, playing a pivotal role in safeguarding web applications against a myriad of threats. However, the path to implementing these headers is riddled with potential missteps. A minor misconfiguration can render them ineffective, exposing your application to exploits. This article will unravel developers’ typical […]
Introduction Race conditions linger as elusive threats in the domain of concurrent programming, creating a fertile ground for inconsistencies and unforeseen security vulnerabilities. These subtle programming bugs arise when multiple processes access shared resources simultaneously, leading to unpredictable and undesirable outcomes. This article will journey through the labyrinth of race conditions, exploring their implications on […]
With the increase of supply chain attacks on everything from logging software like Log4J to takeovers of important JavaScript packages to compromises of network utility tools like SolarWinds, more and more organizations are recognizing the need to adopt a Zero Trust mindset. Zero Trust can improve security, reduce risks, and give organizations greater confidence […]
The Open Source Software (OSS) Supply Chain is under attack. As evidenced by the recent Log4Shell vulnerability, the OSS supply chain is increasingly a focus for attackers seeking to exploit weak links in security. A number of research reports have recorded a significant increase in so-called “next-gen software supply chain attacks” over the past […]
25 vulnerabilities to look out for in Node JS applications: Directory traversal, prototype pollution, XSSI, and more… Securing applications is not the easiest thing to do. An application has many components: server-side logic, client-side logic, data storage, data transportation, API, and more. With all these components to secure, building a secure application can seem really […]
OWASP leader Vandana’s tips for navigating your career in infosec Our guest today, Vandana, holds a lot of impressive titles. She is the Chair of the OWASP Global Board of Directors, and she also leads multiple infosec Diversity Initiatives like InfosecGirls. But how did she get from an infosec newbie to the leader of OWASP […]
The future of application security is in the cloud. Software development and application deployment continue to move from on-premise to various types of cloud environments. While the basics of application security (AppSec) carry over from on-premise, the cloud introduces new areas of complexity and a new set of requirements. AppSec best practices for the cloud […]
Securing applications is not the easiest thing to do. An application has many components: server-side logic, client-side logic, data storage, data transportation, API, and more. With all these components to secure, building a secure application can seem really daunting. Thankfully, most real-life vulnerabilities share the same root causes. And by studying these common vulnerability types, […]
Over the last few weeks, log4j has been the focus in most organizations. It continues to dominate tech media as the FTC threatens action against unpatched systems and Microsoft warns of continued exploits of the vulnerability. We have covered it in detail here, here, and here. In this blog, we will focus on how you […]
By now you’ve probably already heard of the name “Log4j”. What happened Late November this year, a Chinese researcher named Chen Zhaojun privately disclosed to Log4j maintainers that version 2 of Log4j contains a critical vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) in applications that utilize the library. On December 9th, the vulnerability was […]
It shouldn’t be surprising that application security has become more important over the last few years. As part of the move to the cloud, applications have become the foundation of business operations. Today, more companies use more applications to do more things than ever before. SaaS applications transmit, store, and process large amounts of sensitive […]
