Everybody's Looking For Something - ASW #152
This week, we welcome Manish Gupta, CEO and Co-Founder at ShiftLeft, to discuss Bringing Appsec to a Modern CI Pipeline! Appsec in a modern CI pipeline needs a combination of tools, collaboration, and processes to be successful. Importantly, it also needs to scale. We can't just shift responsibility left and assume that will be successful. So, how can an appsec team bring tools and security knowledge to developers? In the AppSec News segment, Mike and John talk: HTTP bug bothers IIS, Android platform security, supply chain security (new and old), brief (very brief) history of browser security, & more!

Hot Potato - ASW #151
This week, we welcome Aanand Krishnan, CEO at Tala Security, Inc., to discuss Third Party Software Risk on the Web! Web applications are highly dependent on third party content and JavaScript. This creates a significant set of vulnerabilities that attackers are exploiting. How do you prevent a Solarwinds type hack on your website? In the AppSec News, CNCF releases a whitepaper on supply chain security, Frag attacks against WiFi devices, security webhooks, trusting terraform plans, shared credentials and app access, complexity vs. security vs. design.

Talking Heads - ASW #150
While the vision for app security is relatively clear, executing on that vision is still somewhat of a work in progress. Fast-moving, interdependent pieces—custom code and open source packages, infrastructure and network configurations, user entitlements—make for complex systems. In this episode, we discuss the challenge in addressing each piece independently and consider how consolidated, multi-purpose tools may present an emerging solution. This Week in the AppSec News, Mike and John talk: "Find My threat model" with AirTags, Qualcomm modem vuln hits lots of Android, an Exim update patches lots of vulns, measuring hardened binaries, a maturity model for k8s, & more!

Alert Your Star Destroyers - ASW #149
Rey Bango will be digging into the developer security training conundrum based on his own experiences with secure coding and security training. He'll cover: • The types of security training that work • The role of security champions • How the security and development teams can work together to ensure code is create securely from the start In the AppSec News: Microsoft discloses "BadAlloc" bugs, macOS Gatekeeper logic falters, authentication issues in KDCs and ADs, Spectre gains another vector, followup on the UMN Linux kernel vulns study!

Minimum Safe Distance - ASW #148
We start with the article about "Researchers Secretly Tried To Add Vulnerabilities to Linux Kernel, Ended Up Getting Banned" and explore its range of issues from ethics to securing huge, distributed software projects. It's hardly novel to point out that bad actors can attempt to introduce subtle and exploitable bugs. More generally, we've also seen impacts from package owners who have revoked their code, like NPM leftpad, or who transfer ownership to actors who later on abuse the package's reputation, as we've seen in Chrome Plugins. So, what could have been a better research focus? In the era of more pervasive fuzzing, how much should we continue to rely on people for security code review? This week in the AppSec News: Signal points out parsing problems, privacy preserving improvements to AirDrop, Homebrew disclosure, WhatsApp workflows, adversarial data ordering for ML, & more!

That Will Bite Ya - ASW #147
This week, we welcome Doug Barbin, Managing Partner at Schellman & Company, LLC, to discuss Supply Chain Management! Supply chain security isn't new, despite the renewed attention from the Solar Winds attack. It has old challenges, like having an accurate asset or app inventory, and new opportunities, like Software Bill of Materials. From consequences to code integrity, DevOps teams need to understand how to protect their own code from others' components. In the AppSec News, Mike and John discuss Rust in Android and the Linux kernel, vuln disclosure policy changes from Project Zero, security and DevOps collaboration, XSS with NULL, & a BootHole follow-up!
