Application Security Weekly (Audio)

Go releases their own curated vuln management resources, OSS-Fuzz finds command injection, Microsoft gets rid of Basic Auth in Exchange, NSA provides guidance on securing SDLC practices, reflections on pentesting, comments on e2e   Shifting left has been a buzzword in the application security space for several years now, and with good reason – making security an integral part of development is the only practical approach for modern agile workflows. But in their drive to build security testing into development as early as possible, many organizations are neglecting application security in later phases and losing sight of the big picture. In this talk, Invicti’s Chief Product Officer Sonali Shah discusses the challenges and misunderstandings around shifting left, and provides tips on how organizations can implement web application security program without tradeoffs throughout the whole application security lifecycle.

The unique nature of cloud native apps, Kubernetes, and microservices based architectures introduces new risks and opportunities that require AppSec practitioners to adapt their approach to security tooling, integration with the CI/CD pipeline, and how they engage developers to fix vulnerabilities. In this episode, we’ll discuss how AppSec teams can effectively manage the transition from securing traditional monolithic applications to modern cloud native applications and the types of security tooling needed to provide coverage across custom application code, dependencies, container images, and web/API interfaces. Finally, we’ll conclude with tips and tricks that will help make your developers more efficient at fixing vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC and your pen testers more effective.

In today's high-tech industries, security is struggling to keep up with rapidly changing production systems and the chaos that agile development introduces into workflows. Application security (AppSec) teams are fighting an uphill battle to gain visibility and control over their environments. Rather than invest their time in critical activities, teams are overwhelmed by gaps in visibility and tools to govern the process. As a result, many digital services remain improperly protected. In this episode, we plan to address and discuss the current state of AppSec, and point out a few common failure points. Afterwards we plan to discuss what agile AppSec looks like, and how a reorganization, and a shift in management strategy could greatly transform the field, and allow business to truly address the risk of under-protected software.   Segment Resources: https://appsecmap.com/   Nextauth.js account takeover due to parsing flaw, URL parsing flaw in Go's net/url, another path traversal, Slack exposes password hashes (whaaat!?), Twitter exposes 5.4 million accounts, ransomware and research against PyPI and GitHub, videos from fwd:cloudsec 2022.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/asw for all the latest episodes!

Nikhil will be discussing the pain points that leaders in the application security space are facing, which can cover how software development has evolved, as well as how this has impacted development teams and security teams as well as the occurrence of shifting left. He would also like to speak to the solution he has found to this problem, specifically being that of developing a community, the Purple Book Community. This closely connects to the final topics he would like to cover, which include how breaches have continued to occur at an increasingly rapid pace, leading to the importance behind why and how companies should be prepared for when, not if, a cyber attack will occur. The talk will also cover how the Purple Book of Software Security came about and how it has now morphed into a global movement by security leaders, for security leaders, to develop secure software.

0-day vulnerabilities pose a high risk because cybercriminals race to exploit them and vulnerable systems are exposed until a patch is issued & installed. These types of software vulnerabilities can be found through continuous detection but even then may not always have a patch available. It’s important for software teams to set up tools that continually look for these types of flaws, as well as defenses that let software adapt itself to an evolving threat landscape. In this episode, we will discuss the ins and outs of 0-day vulnerabilities and what the future of managing them looks like.

This week in the AppSec News: Apple introduces Lockdown Mode, PyPI hits 2FA trouble, cataloging cloud vulns, practical attacks on ML, NIST's post-quantum algorithms, & more!   Appsec starts with the premise that we need to build secure code, but it also has to be able to recommend effective practices and tools that help developers. This also means appsec teams need to work with developers to create criteria for security solutions, whether it's training or scanners, in order to make sure their investments of time and money lead to more secure apps.
