Seth and Ken are _back_ to talk through some recent experiences and news across the industry. To start the episode, Seth highlights the edge cases uncovered during manual code review that require context to understand and identify. Inspired by recent a recent post on AI Slop in the curl bug bounty program, the duo addresses the increase of slop across bug bounty reports and why it happens. Finally, a discussion on McDonald's recent authorization flaw that potentially exposed millions of job applicant's data.…
Sean Varga, current regional sales manager with noted ASPM company Cycode joins Ken (@cktricky) and Seth (@sethlaw) to discuss the dawning realization organizations are having that they need AppSec experience and tech help to accompany their swelling numbers of developers. Sean's introduces "the OWASP Top 10 for AppSec Sales" to the community Before joining Cycode, Sean worked as Large Enterprise Sales Manager at Apiiro and Enterprise Account executive at Secure Code Warrior. He's also had stints at Veracode, Quest Software, and RSA across his career.

Connect with or follow Sean on LinkedIn to see what he's up to in the meantime: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-varga/…
Ken returns after a week's hiatus to review the latest AppSec news with Seth. Specifically, the idea that authentication fatigue exists for both consumers and developers. The amount of choice to implement security controls can have unintended consequences and introduces risk that may or may not be considered. This is followed by research from SquareX that claims Browser AI Agents are riskier and easier to target than employees. This results in opinions on phishing and protections against consumer/business targeting by attackers.…
With @cktricky out on a grand tour across the country (or just unable to record for the day), @sethlaw succumbs to the dark side to give @lojikil a platform to talk about recent developments in the application security world. Specifically, a discussion on vulnerability data and scoring mechanisms, including CVE, CVSS, CWSS, and other acronyms. Wraps up with a longer discussion on the use of AI across multiple disciplines and provenance of AI Slop.…
Seth and Ken return with an in-depth discussion around the future of security due to use of AI. The landscape of security is changing quickly and we do not know where it is headed. As such, it is worth exploring how it has changed security's outlook and what we are seeing across organizations from a consulting and product perspective. A recent article from a16z titled "Next-Gen Pentesting: AI Empowers the Good Guys" is a good summary of the changes happening. A short aside on unintended consequences when introducing new browser features.…

During this episode of the podcast Kayra discusses his journey into information security and spurs on his recent thoughts on authenticating open source developers through models similar to TSA PreCheck.…
News this week has been dominated by dependency issues and attribution towards unwanted nation states and actors. Specifically, easyjson is developed by a Russian firm that is under sanctions. The podcast duo discuss the implications and how to protect apps from sub-dependency threats. This leads to a deep dive into breaches and whether a breach has an effect on the industry, company, or individual. Current regulations and certifications can be lost, but does not always have the effect we would expect.…
Back after a hiatus for both BSidesSF and RSA, Seth and Ken recap their experience at both conferences. TL;DR - BSidesSF is great for technical security content and community, RSA focuses on sales for mostly large organizations and budgets. Two sides of the security industry coin and depends on preferences for which makes the most sense for career or business growth. This is followed by a short discussion on vibe coding educational security tools. Episode wraps with an article on MFA phishing and how WebAuthN helps prevent accidental exposure.…

Ok, so vulnerable MCP tools are a thing now? Ken demonstrates installing and running an intentionally vulnerable MCP server with a bunch of example issues. Following is a discussion of the recent article and research around hallucinations of 3rd party dependencies/libraries in AI-Generated Python and JavaScript. New attack targets all dependent on how creative the LLM is allowed to be. A short aside on why we talk about AI and LLMs so much.…
It is time to talk about Model Context Protocol (MCP), Google's Agent 2 Agent specification, and get back to the crocs and socks of authentication for Non-Human Identities (NHIs). MCP servers have exploded over the last few weeks and provide a standard mechanism for LLMs to interact with pretty much _anything_. Seth and Ken talk about the risks, exposures, and where things could go from here.…
The duo are back for a discussion on securing machine learning models using Sigstore, based on a recent blog post from Google Security. Followed by some spicy takes on opinions on vibe coding and its effects on application and product security. Finally, short-lived tokens used to exploit RCE against the GitHub CodeQL Action.…
Seth and Ken are back with an episode dedicated to a review of the recent Next.js middleware vulnerability and how that impacts application security both specifically and in general. Over-dependence on third party software accompanied by agile development can lead to devastating results when security flaws are identified. A followup and demo of using LLMs to analyze HTTP sessions for user enumeration flaws as a sneak peak of an upcoming talk by Seth for BSidesSLC.…
After a week's hiatus, Ken and Seth return and start with a discussion on OWASP conferences and the effectiveness of attendance for vendors. This is followed by an expansive mental health discussion inspired by a recent blog post on Destructive Fatigue from Justin Larson at Redpoint Security. A constant focus on breaking and tearing down applications or anything can have mental health effects. Additionally, focus on the negative aspects increases imposter syndrome that is already prevalent across the industry. This leads to the question, what do you do to maintain sanity and mental health? Jump into Slack or tag @absoluteappsec on social media with your strategies.…

Ken and Seth are back for another episode that starts with a summary of the Semgrep and OpenGrep break. This is followed by Google's recent article titled Secure By Design: Google's Blueprint for a High-Assurance Web Framework. Google is focused on protections within the browser, given their products and business, but the controls and overall process are relevant to most application security programs. Finally, a discussion of Orange Tsai's research on Confusion Attacks within Apache that was number one in Portswigger's Top 10 Web Hacking Techniques of 2024.…
Seth and Ken return for another week to review current articles and happenings in the application security world. Specifically, they spend some time reacting to the news that the Semgrep Community version has been forked as Opengrep by a number of vendors. This occurs as a result of Semgrep changing the licenses on their open source rules to prevent use in competitor products. Also a discussion spurred by Rami McCarthy's recent article on how "No" is still appropriate and security shouldn't be a rubber stamp for any organization.…

Ken and Seth return for 2025 to review the accuracy of their predictions from 2024 and make a few new ones for this new year. Some hits and misses for last year, but overall the generic predictions for both AI/LLM growth and software supply chain security were accurate. However, they were wrong in their assumptions around LLM creation and training. For 2025, predictions on AI billing models, software supply chain attacks, OWASP Top 10 2025, and more.…
The dynamic duo is back for another holiday special. Not that they reference the holidays, but dig into complaints about security conferences and how to build a conference network.

Ken (@cktricky) returns alongside Seth (@sethlaw) for the week. This starts with an in-depth discussion on the pros and cons of in-person and virtual trainings. In short, the duo prefers in-person due for the advantages, but understand that financial pressures come into play, so virtual is a good substitute. This is followed by thoughts on the recent lawsuit by thy government against Georgia Tech for failing to meet government cybersecurity compliance requirements, even after attesting to their existence. Third-party risk assessments may not be the most fun part of security, but what happens when an organization doesn't meet their obligations? Seems like both sides are in the "find out" phase of FAFO.…
