XSS filter evasion covers many hundreds of methods that attackers can use to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) filters. A successful attack requires both an XSS vulnerability and a way to inject malicious JavaScript into web page code executed by the client to exploit that vulnerability. The idea of XSS filtering is to prevent attacks by […]

JavaScript has evolved significantly from its early days of being lightly sprinkled on static HTML web pages to add dynamism. It now plays a crucial role in modern web applications, making cross-site scripting (XSS) a common security vulnerability with significant impact if exploited successfully. From providing client-side functionality to running across the entire application stack,

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has compiled the Top 10 for LLM applications as another list-style awareness document to provide a systematic overview of the application security risks, this time in the rapidly growing realm of generative AI. While everyone is aware of some of the risks related to large language models (LLMs),

You may have seen, especially on social media, many “expert” opinions on cybersecurity that freely mix and match seemingly unrelated terms. In the field of application security specifically, you will see people asking about things like the difference between AppSec and DevSecOps—a really strange thing to ask until you realize that in some contexts, people

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s still not a duck unless it has an application/duck Content-Type header Web design was a lot simpler 20 years ago. You had an invisible table over the whole height and width of the page, a few GIF images, and optionally some HTML. There

Invicti recently introduced its groundbreaking Predictive Risk Scoring feature, which can provide accurate security risk predictions even before vulnerability scanning starts. To learn more about Predictive Risk Scoring, visit our blog post here. This feature utilizes a custom-built machine learning model trained on real vulnerability data (not customer data) to estimate site risk levels and

Modern application security must be built in from the outset and reinforced continually throughout the software development lifecycle. Even organizations with mature application development practices need automated tools to successfully and repeatably secure their software in complex, fast-changing environments. Security leaders commonly focus on ensuring software security through runtime protection measures, with major cloud service

DevSecOps is a software development approach that aims to integrate security practices into DevOps processes. Implementing DevSecOps efficiently requires organizations to make security an integral part of software quality by using automated security tools in their CI/CD pipeline. Crucially, the DevSecOps approach to software development offers a way to embed application security into the entire

Imagine you have to check for danger on the other side of an impassable mountain you cannot walk around. What would you do? A low-tech solution would be to tunnel through and have a look. Swing by swing with a pickaxe to break the stone, and then shovel by shovel to haul the broken rock
