        <description>In episode 335 of Absolute AppSec, Seth and Ken sit down with Ron Perris. Ron is Chief Technology Officer at Manicode Security, to discuss the integration of AI into secure software development and AppSec workflows. The conversation explores the rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) and local agentic harnesses, examining how developers use them for code generation and how security teams manage the resulting system-level risks on developer workstations. Perris details his work with Manicode.ai, founded alongside Jim Manico, which addresses LLM code generation defects by embedding language- and framework-specific positive security guidance directly into the AI's context window. By leveraginglifecycle hooks within coding harnesses to inject tailored defensive rules (e.g., parameterized queries or framework-specific escaping), Manicode guides LLM token generation away from common vulnerabilities rather than relying solely on post-generation SAST checks. The hosts and Perris critique the industry's overreliance on dashboard-driven vulnerability counting, arguing that AppSec must move beyond managing repetitive bugs and focus on systematically eliminating flaw classes through secure framework defaults and context engineering. Finally, Perris reflects on his time at Reddit, the challenges of preventing recurring vulnerability classes at scale, and the potential for reviving practitioner-focused conferences like LocomocoSec to address modern AI-driven AppSec realities.

        <description>In episode 334 of Absolute AppSec, hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law interview Ryan Lloyd, Chief Product Officer at GuardSquare, to explore mobile application security and product management strategy. Lloyd details GuardSquare's evolution from the open-source Java optimizer ProGuard—which introduced basic name obfuscation—into a commercial suite offering multi-layered code hardening, control flow flattening, encryption, and automated runtime application self-protection (RASP) to detect dynamic tampering, hooking tools like Frida, and rooted devices. The discussion examines the product strategy behind balancing customer feature requests against core security engineering, emphasizing evidence-based decision-making over opinion. Addressing the broader mobile threat landscape, Lloyd highlights how attack vectors have expanded beyond financial services into retail, delivery, and loyalty apps, where attackers manipulate business logic or exploit open platform APIs like Android accessibility services for account takeovers. To track emerging threats, GuardSquare's research arm monitors reverse-engineering forums, academic compiler research, and dark web channels. Finally, the conversation evaluates how automated AI tools accelerate the velocity of reverse engineering and vulnerability discovery, underscoring that mobile security defenses must continually evolve to increase the time and cost required for attackers to tamper with client-side applications.

        <description>Sponsored by GuardSquare (guardsquare.com), the discussion of Episode 333 opens with an analysis of a 1Password academic paper evaluating how frontier LLMs perform at autonomous vulnerability patching. The research indicates that LLMs successfully generate functional, side-effect-free patches only 26% of the time, often introducing new security flaws, breaking application behavior, or hallucinating fixes due to a lack of environmental context and "correctness collapse". The hosts critique the industry push toward auto-remediation, arguing that automated patch generation fails to address root causes like noisy tooling or organizational culture issues, and they emphasize that human domain expertise remains necessary for reliable patching. Turning to real-world AI security risks, the episode examines a Snowflake vulnerability where an AI coding tool (GitHub Copilot Autofix) regressed a GitHub Actions workflow into an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaw via command injection, which was subsequently discovered and validated within five days by Wiz's automated "Red Agent". Finally, the hosts cover Dark Reading reporting on how the AI-driven "vulnpocalypse" is repricing the bug bounty economy. As automated scanning harnesses double report volumes, companies face budget constraints that reduce payout amounts per finding, forcing organizations to narrow program scopes toward high-priority assets.</description>

        <description>In episode 332, the discussion focuses on how artificial intelligence is reshaping the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). The episode analyzes Anthropic's blog post regarding an "AI-native SDLC," evaluating its vision of replacing traditional development bottlenecks with AI workflows. The commentary critiques Anthropic's reliance on simple Markdown files for tracking development decisions, noting that replacing deterministic tools with probabilistic LLMs in core SDLC processes introduces significant reliability risks, context drift, and excessive token costs. The conversation turns to OpenAI's "Collective Call for Cyber Defense" initiative, examining its push for frontier AI model regulation and critiques of open-weight models, which are viewed as an effort to establish vendor lock-in. Exploring the concept of "Rumor as the Exploit," the discussion highlights how public mentions or minor disclosures of vulnerabilities now allow AI-driven testing harnesses to rapidly discover and generate working exploits across unmaintained software ecosystems. To counter this accelerated threat landscape, the episode evaluates defensive strategies, including runtime verification, reachability analysis, and cooling-off periods for new package releases, emphasizing that security defenders must move beyond thin wrapper solutions and build robust systems combining deterministic controls with model capabilities.

        <description>Sponsored by Guardsquare (guardsquare.com), Episode 331 focuses heavily on the growing role of AI agents in application security and how organizations should build and defend against agentic systems. Ken and Seth argue that effective AI security systems should combine deterministic tooling with the probabilistic reasoning of LLMs rather than handing an entire security workflow to a model. Deterministic steps can map repositories, identify dependencies, reconstruct code relationships, and narrow the areas requiring investigation, while LLMs provide reasoning and creativity where those capabilities add value. Preparing for AI-assisted attackers, emphasizing secure development practices, guardrails, sandboxing, pre-production testing, and faster detection and response. The episode also examines HTTP request smuggling and CRLF-based attacks, including how differences in request parsing between proxies and backend services can create authorization bypasses and other exploit chains. Seth and Ken emphasize identifying the critical vulnerability within an exploit chain and discuss how service-oriented architectures can increase risk when components interpret the same request differently. Finally, they question whether bug bounty programs adequately reward researchers for discovering complex, high-impact vulnerabilities, especially as AI agents increasingly automate vulnerability discovery.</description>

        <description>In this special episode of Absolute AppSec, we cover a topic which started as a solution proposed by Rippling Security's Jeevan Singh: Vulnerability Jail. As Jeevan describes it: "In this new AI world, we have seen many more vulnerabilities, and we struggled to get Engineering to fix them all in a timely fashion. This changed when we created Vulnerability Jail. If any vulnerability goes over SLA, your team is placed in Jail, preventing them from merging PRs into the main/default branches. We implemented Vulnerability Jail, updated our SLAs and got buy-in from Eng Leadership for our new Vulnerability Management program. As a result, we have now fixed the same number of vulnerabilities in one month as the team did in the previous year. The speed is still accelerating."" What do we think of the Stick approach to Vuln Management? What are the solutions to the rapid production by AI as well as the vulnpocalypse, Alex Gaynor's term to describe the way that "new technological innovation enables (or indirectly results in) finding a very large number of vulnerabilities in pre-existing software, which renders all previous assumptions and beliefs about the volume of extant vulnerabilities incorrect." Will "Vulnerability Jail" save us from the vulnpocalypse? Episode sponsored by GuardSquare (guardsquare.com)</description>

        <description>In this episode, sponsored by GuardSquare (guardsquare.com), Ken Johnson and Seth Law discuss OpenAI's reported Hugging Face security incident, questioning whether the model demonstrated genuinely novel offensive capability or mostly chained known vulnerability patterns at high inference cost, while also considering the defense-contract and marketing angles around "dangerous" frontier models. The main technical discussion returns to AppSec fundamentals through an article on preventing IDOR, emphasizing authorization as a core control, the difficulty of role and tenant isolation in complex systems, and the need for framework-level patterns, typed IDs, tenant checks, and thorough authorization testing. They also cover Krebs' reporting on LG banning residential proxy SDKs from smart TV apps, explaining how free TV apps can turn consumer devices into proxy infrastructure and why IoT app ecosystems need stronger review. The episode closes with DEF CON logistics, Hacker Tracker updates, and upcoming guest plans.</description>

        <description>In episode 328 of Absolute AppSec, sponsored by GuardSquare (guardsquare.com), Seth and Ken start by highlighting a newly disclosed, pre-authentication WordPress core Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability ("WP2Shell"). The core discussion centers on Alex Gaynor's article regarding the influx of AI-assisted vulnerability disclosures. Gaynor and the hosts argue that attempting to fix bugs case-by-case is a "fool's errand"; instead, engineering teams must eradicate entire vulnerability classes through systemic, framework-level safe functions (such as parameterized queries) and automated CI/CD guardrails. They dive into the complexities of bug prioritization—debating reachability analysis, runtime verification, and business asset criticality—while noting that metrics and measurement remain among the lowest-scoring activities in OWASP SAMM assessments. Later, Ken and Seth examine a "Memory Heist" attack on Claude AI where indirect prompt injection tricked the assistant into exfiltrating user memory and corporate details letter-by-letter through web navigation. They conclude that because transformer models were originally designed for next-token prediction rather than secure system boundaries, defending LLM architectures behaves more like stopping social engineering than traditional software fuzzing.</description>

        <description>In episode 327 of Absolute AppSec, co-hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law present a highly anticipated quarterly crossover episode with Cameron and Kurt from the Coffee, Chaos, and ProdSec podcast. Sponsored by GuardSquare, the group begins with lighthearted banter about their personal footwear choices before tackling heavy architectural debates. The primary focus shifts to Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) consolidation. Cameron strongly advocates for utilizing ASPM as a distinct, single pane of glass dashboard to deduplicate vulnerabilities and streamline executive reporting by product suite. However, the hosts contrast this ideal against the messy reality of organizations dealing with a "Frankenstein" mix of loosely bootstrapped open-source scanning tools and competing vendor plugins.  
        
        The discussion deepens into prioritization strategies amid a massive, AI-driven surge in vulnerability research that threatens to double annual CVE counts. Cameron and Kurt stress the necessity of shifting away from abstract CVSS scores toward custom, runtime-informed risk appetites and impact analysis—prioritizing the hardening of high-risk corporate assets over low-reachability internal flaws. They also examine the critical line separating standard software bugs from intentionally malicious open-source packages that target developer endpoint systems. Ultimately, the panel laments that AppSec teams are effectively functioning as corporate incident responders because Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts lack product-level insight. The episode concludes with a review of automated agent statistics and a fun look ahead to the future emergence of meta OWASP top-ten risk lists.</description>

        <description>In episode 326 of Absolute AppSec, sponsored by mobile application security provider GuardSquare (guardsquare.com), the hosts start with a deep-dive into pre-show discussions about the shifting macroeconomic landscape of AppSec jobs. They analyze an industry-wide trend where corporate hiring is pivoting away from external third-party consultancies and contractors. Instead, maturing organizations are forming internal product security "tiger teams" and hiring dedicated security software engineers across general development lifecycles to handle the exponential volume of code generated by artificial intelligence.  Turning to AI-driven engineering, they dissect a research paper tracking security vulnerability mitigations through large language model (LLM) feedback. The paper reveals a distinct degradation in code quality and an explosion of "false positives" or unreachable flaws after the fourth or fifth iteration due to compressed context windows and "context drift." Ken highlights his own grueling experience benchmarking AINative software. He heavily cautions that letting models self-score or automatically review code introduces dangerous biases, reinforcing the absolute baseline requirement for humans to critically audit all LLM outputs. Finally, they examine Open Web Docs' new web security guidelines community group, comparing its browser-centric standard party focus to OWASP's broader, audit-driven charter. They close by promoting an upcoming July podcast collaboration with Coffee, Chaos, and ProdSec.</description>

        <description>In episode 325 of Absolute AppSec, co-hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law first break down an informal guide to threat modeling, arguing that overly prescriptive frameworks like STRIDE induce a heavy cognitive load on developers. Instead, they advocate for simplified, creative questions to expose architectural gaps, citing a historical GitHub planning flaw where private repository images were left exposed on S3 by relying solely on URL obfuscation. They warn that while rapid development in 2026 pushes toward automated lifecycles, human oversight, critical logging, and constructive friction remain essential.  Next, they dissect a research paper exploring the philosophical definition of a vulnerability, framing it as a system disposition arising from a fault that manifests as a failure only when environmental and attacker conditions are jointly met. This definition sparks a debate on whether a flaw must carry immediate risk to qualify as a vulnerability, particularly when evaluating modern AI challenges like system prompt disclosures or exposed deprecated API paths.</description>

        <description>In episode 324 of Absolute AppSec, co-hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law share a mix of security model critiques. Starting with industry dynamics, Ken recaps his recent presentation at OWASP Nova regarding the limits of human-scale AppSec, recounting a dramatic storm during the talk where patio chairs pelted the high-rise glass. The conversation pivots sharply to Anthropic being forced to pull its "Fable" and "Mythos" cybersecurity models offline due to government sanctions and fears surrounding unpreventable universal jailbreaks. Ken and Seth criticize the company's disingenuous "FUD-based" marketing, which falsely suggested that AI could entirely replace security practitioners. Seth reviews his own blog post regarding the "three-week demo trap", detailing critical, ignored requirements for AI products—such as evaluation, statistical reproducibility, and token cost economics—noting that executing enterprise testing via frontier models can easily exceed $5,000 a day. Transitioning back to fundamental baseline defense, the hosts dissect an article on bypassing Visual Studio Code extension blocks. They emphasize that since modern CDNs pull zipped extensions from distinct domains, blocking the main marketplace URL is completely ineffective. Consequently, they advocate for rigorous data classification, layered on-premise model hosting, and stricter boundary controls on developer endpoints to combat fast-evolving supply chain threats.</description>

        <description>In episode 323 of Absolute AppSec, co-hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law focus heavily on core application security vulnerabilities, legacy operational struggles, and the challenges of generative AI systems. After briefly discussing Seth’s recent trip to BSides Vancouver and confirming upcoming conference training logistics for Black Hat and DEF CON, the duo dives into the persistent problem of secrets and sensitive data leaking into log files. Referencing an article and talk by Alan Reyes, they unpack the compounding nature of logging failures, noting how system-level integrations and production error conditions often dump entire object blocks or environment variables into third-party tools. They caution that while pattern-based scanners exist, they remain too brittle to capture complex edge cases, and utilizing expensive AI agents to screen every real-time log line is economically impractical. Transitioning to AI security, Seth explores a multi-page research paper analyzing prompt injection. The paper establishes that because large language models mathematically process data through tokenization without any physical or architectural separation between instructions and data contexts, prompt injection cannot be completely solved at the model level. Likening prompt injection to automated social engineering, they argue that the onus currently falls entirely on developers to implement deterministic validation, guardrails, and secure application-level harnesses.</description>

        <description>In episode 322, the co-hosts examine critical vulnerabilities, changing security standards, and adaptive defense mechanisms. They deep dive into the recent "Megalodon" breach, identifying it as a direct poisoned pipeline execution attack. Rather than exposing a flaw inside GitHub itself , researchers at Hudson Rock traced the root cause to credentials stolen from developer desktops via infostealer malware, which allowed attackers to push base64-encoded payloads into GitHub Actions workflow YAML files. To counter these types of automated supply chain threats, the hosts praise NPM's newly released "staged publishing" pipeline, which mandates two-factor authentication from human maintainers before releasing packages pushed by automated CI/CD workflows. Shifting to framework flaws, they highlight a catastrophic, vanilla SQL injection flaw discovered in GoCMS during active exploitation. Finally, the duo reviews the emergence of AI-powered honeypots highlighted Talos Intelligence. They conclude that turning the tables on attackers by utilizing LLM-driven "hall of mirrors" environments to impersonate real systems represents an innovative, under-explored AppSec strategy designed to drain attacker resources and trigger high token costs.</description>

        <description>In episode 321 of Absolute AppSec, the co-hosts dive into a sprawling discussion about the future of Application Security amid the heavy noise of artificial intelligence and automated tools. The hosts start with a debate on whether traditional AppSec fundamentals remain relevant. Drawing analogies to the industrialization of car manufacturing and the transition to autonomous labor, they predict that while line-by-line coding and manual code reviews are fading, human intuition, safety guardrails, and system management will remain indispensable. They voice mutual frustrations with modern university cybersecurity curricula for overemphasizing abstract theories while neglecting hands-on operational tools. Despite the rising trend of vibe-coding and the reality of AI-generated bugs, Seth and Ken argue that core principles, such as networking, authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA), remain fundamentally unchanged. To illustrate this point, they examine how passkeys operate via asymmetric public-private key pairs under the WebAuthn spec. They conclude that as the software landscape becomes increasingly abstracted, the primary responsibility of a senior security generalist shifts from executing manual tasks to auditing, managing, and validating agentic autonomous workflows.</description>

        <description>Ken is away, so Stefan Edwards (lojikil) joins Seth to talk all things AppSec. This episode starts by exploring the acceleration of AI on the offensive side of security, enabling threat actors to automate complex tasks like patch diffing, gadget discovery, and reverse engineering binaries. The conversation highlights a recent milestone where an AI-driven tool, Mythos, successfully identified a vulnerability in curl, signaling a shift from "AI slop" to more relevant bug reports. However, Stefan remains skeptical of LLMs' ability to build secure, large-scale systems, noting their tendency to produce rigid or inconsistent code structures. This imbalance creates a "bad time for defenders," as blue team burnout increases due to the sheer volume of automated agents scanning attack surfaces near-instantaneously. The hosts conclude that while AI provides a "godsend" for testing neglected legacy applications, organizations must return to security basics—such as the principle of least authority and robust disaster recovery—to manage the expanding blast radius of modern breaches. Ultimately, they view AI as a fast, knowledgeable "junior" that requires human expertise to validate and orchestrate effectively.</description>

        <description>Episode 319 covers a range of industry developments, primarily focusing on the recent Vercel security incident and the evolving landscape of AI-driven compliance. The hosts detail how a Vercel employee's use of a consumer-level Context AI plan led to a workspace compromise via a leaked OAuth token, eventually allowing attackers to access sensitive environment variables. This leads to a critical discussion about the SOC 2 provider Delve, with the hosts addressing allegations regarding "fake" compliance automation and the general limitations of auditing frameworks that do not inherently equate to true security. This episode also explores the future of the Pull Request (PR) flow, debating whether traditional human-led code reviews are "dead" due to the massive volume of code generated by AI agents. While they acknowledge that startups are moving toward autonomous commits, Seth argues that the PR concept is evolving into a system of agentic attestation and guardrails rather than disappearing entirely. The episode concludes with community survey results on this shift and a reminder about the hosts' upcoming training sessions in Singapore.</description>

        <description>Episode 318 examines critical vulnerabilities and the evolving impact of AI on the security industry. The episode details a recent sophisticated impersonation and malware attack targeting open-source Slack communities, including their own, where attackers spoofed Seth's identity to distribute malicious links via Google Sites. The hosts express significant frustration with Slack's lack of built-in impersonation controls, comparing the flaw to the inherent trust issues in the Git protocol. A major portion of the discussion focuses on the "leak" of Anthropic's highly capable Mythos model and its potential to disrupt the market. They analyze how such frontier model announcements contribute to massive stock market volatility for traditional security firms while simultaneously creating an "intense echo chamber" regarding AI's ability to replace human practitioners. Referencing Thomas Ptacek's thesis, they debate whether AI agents will soon supplant human vulnerability research for common bug classes, shifting the human role toward high-level governance and "context infusion". Ultimately, the hosts advocate for autonomous defense and rigorous evaluation frameworks to manage "reasoning drift" and the exploding velocity of AI-generated code.</description>

        <description>Ken Johnson and Seth Law reflect on the 2026 RSA Conference and BSidesSF, noting an industry-wide "awakening" regarding the high costs and engineering complexities of operationalizing AI security tools. A major focus is the recent "supply chain attack hell," specifically the compromise of the Axios HTTP client through dual-account breaches that allowed attackers to bypass legitimate OIDC deploy setups via a misconfigured NPM CLI. The malware used was particularly evasive, deleting itself and replacing its package.json with a clean version post-execution. The hosts also discuss the emergence of the "Agentic Development Lifecycle" (ADLC), where engineering teams are increasingly "committing on time" rather than features, creating a volume of code that traditional security gates cannot manage. They debate Thomas Ptacek’s thesis that AI agents will soon "supplant" human vulnerability research for common bug classes, shifting the human role toward high-level governance and "context infusion". Economically, they highlight how Anthropic's security announcements contributed to nearly half a trillion dollars in market value loss for traditional security firms, as investors increasingly bet on frontier models to consume established security domains.</description>

        <description>In episode 316 of Absolute AppSec, hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law participate in a crossover with Kurt Hendle and Cameron Walters from the Coffee, Chaos, and ProdSec podcast to discuss the radical transformation of security roles in an AI-driven landscape. The guests share origin stories rooted in gaming and "mischievous" curiosity, which evolved into deep careers in security architecture and engineering. The primary discussion centers on the industry's shift toward an "Agentic Development Lifecycle" (ADLC), where the sheer volume of AI-generated code renders traditional manual review gates obsolete. This acceleration risks a "rubber stamp" culture where developers approve fixes in seconds rather than minutes, potentially leading to a mountain of technical debt. Consequently, the role of security is shifting from manual bug finding to high-level governance and "context infusion," requiring practitioners to manage AI agents that automate complex tasks. Economically, the group highlights how frontier model announcements have caused massive market volatility, wiping billions from traditional security stocks. Ultimately, they conclude that while older "primitive" tools are failing, professionals who lean into AI as a "superpower" for governance and oversight will be essential for navigating this new, non-deterministic reality.</description>

        <description>In episode 315 of Absolute AppSec, Ken Johnson and Seth Law discuss the rapidly evolving challenges of securing software in an era of AI-assisted development. The hosts provide updates on their "Harnessing LLMs for Application Security" training, noting that the field is changing so fast that they must constantly update their exercises to include new agents and advanced tools like Claude Code. A primary concern raised is the "naivete" of many new security tools, where prompts are often automatically generated by AI rather than expertly crafted, causing a loss of essential nuance. The hosts also warn against AI companies building security products without specialized expertise, citing a zero-click exploit in the "Comet" AI browser that could exfiltrate sensitive secrets via calendar summaries. As development teams now ship code at "AI speed," the hosts argue that traditional AppSec methods are too slow, necessitating a strategic pivot toward automated design reviews, governance, and observability rather than just chasing individual vulnerabilities. Despite the inherent risks and the ongoing difficulty of managing AI reasoning drift, they remain optimistic that these tools can eventually unlock more efficient, hands-off AppSec workflows if managed with proper guardrails and deterministic oversight.</description>

        <description>In this episode, the hosts discuss the seismic shift in the application security landscape triggered by the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Anthropic’s "Claude Code". They highlight the massive economic repercussions of these AI advancements, noting that billions in market value were wiped from traditional cybersecurity stocks as investors begin to believe frontier models might eventually write perfectly secure code. The hosts critique the industry's historical reliance on "checkbox" compliance tools like SAST, DAST, and SCA, arguing that these "archaic" methods are being replaced by AI-native strategies capable of reasoning through complex logic flaws. While they acknowledge that AI can suffer from "reasoning drift" and still requires deterministic validation to avoid false positives, they emphasize that security professionals must adapt by building custom "skills" and focusing on governance and observability. The discussion concludes that as developers move to "AI speed," the traditional role of the AppSec professional is evolving into a "Jarvis-like" orchestrator who manages automated workflows and infuses institutional knowledge into AI agents to maintain oversight without slowing down production.</description>

        <description>Ken Johnson and Seth Law examine the intensifying pressure on security practitioners as AI-driven development causes an unprecedented acceleration in industry velocity. A primary theme is the emergence of "shadow AI," where developers utilize unauthorized AI coding assistants and personal agents, introducing significant data classification risks and supply chain vulnerabilities. The discussion dives into technical concepts like AI agent "skills"—markdown files providing specialized directions—and the corresponding security risks found in new skill registries, such as malicious tools designed to exfiltrate credentials and crypto assets. The hosts also review 1Password’s SCAM (Security Comprehension Awareness Measure), highlighting broad performance gaps in an AI's ability to detect phishing, with some models failing up to 65% of the time. To manage these unpredictable systems, the hosts advocate for a shift toward high-level validation roles, emphasizing the need for Subject Matter Expertise to combat "reasoning drift" and maintain safety through test-driven development and periodic "checkpoints". Ultimately, they conclude that while AI can simulate expertise, human oversight remains vital to secure the probabilistic nature of modern agentic workflows.</description>

        <description>In episode 312 of Absolute AppSec, the hosts discuss the double-edged sword of "vibe coding", noting that while AI agents often write better functional tests than humans, they frequently struggle with nuanced authorization patterns and inherit "upkeep costs" as foundational models change behavior over time. A central theme of the episode is that the greatest security risk to an organization is not AI itself, but an exhausted security team. The hosts explore how burnout often manifests as "silent withdrawal" and emphasize that managers must proactively draw out these issues within organizations that often treat security as a mere cost center. Additionally, they review new defensive strategies, such as TrapSec, a framework for deploying canary API endpoints to detect malicious scanning. They also highlight the value of security scorecarding—pioneered by companies like Netflix and GitHub—as a maturity activity that provides a holistic, blame-free view of application health by aggregating multiple metrics. The episode concludes with a reminder that technical tools like Semgrep remain essential for efficiency, even as practitioners increasingly leverage the probabilistic creativity of LLMs.</description>

        <description>Ken Johnson and Seth Law examine the profound transformation of the security industry as AI tooling moves from simple generative models to sophisticated agentic architectures. A primary theme is the dramatic surge in development velocity, with some organizations seeing pull request volumes increase by over 800% as developers allow AI agents to operate nearly hands-off. This shift is redefining the role of Application Security practitioners, moving experts from manual tasks like manipulating Burp Suite requests to a validation-centric role where they spot-check complex findings generated by AI in minutes. The hosts characterize older security tools as "primitive" compared to modern AI analysis, which can now identify human-level flaws like complex authorization bypasses. A major technical highlight is the introduction of agent "skills"—markdown files containing instructions that empower coding assistants—and the associated emergence of new supply chain risks. They specifically reference research on malicious skills designed to exfiltrate crypto wallets and SSH credentials, warning that registries for these skills lack adequate security responses. To manage the inherent "reasoning drift" of AI, the hosts argue that test-driven development has become a critical safety requirement. Ultimately, they warn that the industry has already shifted fundamentally, and security professionals must lean into these new technologies immediately to avoid becoming obsolete in a day-to-day evolving landscape.</description>

        <description>In this episode of Absolute AppSec, hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law interview Mohan Kumar and Naveen K Mahavisnu, the practitioner-founders of Aira Security, to explore the critical challenges of securing autonomous AI agents in 2026. The conversation centers on the industry's shift toward "agentic workflows," where AI is delegated complex tasks that require monitoring not just for access control, but for the underlying "intent" of the agent's actions. The founders explain that agents can experience "reasoning drift," taking dangerous or unintended shortcuts to complete missions, which necessitates advanced guardrails like "trajectory analysis" and human-in-the-loop interventions to ensure safety and data integrity. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the security of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), highlighting how these integration servers can be vulnerable to "shadowing attacks" and indirect prompt injections—exemplified by a real-world case where private code was exfiltrated via a public GitHub pull request. To address these gaps, the guests introduce their open-source tool, MCP Checkpoint, which allows developers to baseline their agentic configurations and detect malicious changes in third-party tooling. Throughout the discussion, the group emphasizes that as AI moves into production, security must evolve into a proactive enablement layer that understands the probabilistic and unpredictable nature of LLM reasoning.</description>

        <description>This episode, the 304th of Absolute AppSec, features hosts Ken Johnson (@cktricky) and Seth Law (@sethlaw) discussing the crush of Q4 expectations, upcoming training opportunities, the recent updates to the OWASP Top Ten, and the impact of AI tools like XBow on application security (AppSec) consulting. The hosts discuss the shift in the OWASP Top Ten from focusing on vulnerabilities to focusing on risks, and the dual role the list now plays for both awareness/training and compliance. Shifting to recent funding of XBow, the overall consensus is that while AI tools dramatically improve process flow, scoping, and the speed of vulnerability identification for consultants, they won't replace the need for human experts for complex, bespoke systems, business logic flaws, or authorization issues. AI is commoditizing lower-level AppSec work.</description>

        <description>Episode 302 of Absolute AppSec has hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law speculating on the upcoming Global AppSec DC conference, predicting the announcement of the OWASP Top Ten 2025 edition, with Brian Glass scheduled to discuss it on the podcast. The conversation shifts to a technical discussion of OpenAI's new browser, Atlas, which is built on Chromium and includes AI capabilities. The hosts noted concern over the discovered prompt instructions for Atlas, which direct the ChatGPT agent to use browser history and available APIs to find data from the user's logged-in sites to answer ambiguous queries or fulfill requests. This functionality raises significant security concerns, as the agent's ability to comb the cache and logged-in sites could be exploited, effectively creating a "honeypot for cross-site scripting" with malicious potential like unauthorized money transfers. The hosts discussed the lack of talk submissions on Mobile Context Protocol (MCP) security at the conference, despite its growing relevance in a world of AI agents and tooling. Finally, they highlighted a new tool called SlopGuard, developed to prevent the risk of AI hallucinating non-existent, potentially malicious packages (which occurs 5-21% of the time) and attempting to install them from registries like NPM.</description>

        <description>In this episode, Seth and Ken debate OpenAI's Atlas browser, which embeds AI into web browsing. Ken views it as a major privacy concern, potentially accelerating invasive data collection and surveillance. Seth noted that new browsers historically have critical flaws. They acknowledged that AI is very useful for generic and technical internet searches. They discussed the Co-Fish attack, a phishing vulnerability in Microsoft Copilot Studio that could exfiltrate access tokens via a seemingly valid Microsoft URL. Finally, they noted that big companies like Snyk and Black Duck are moving toward agentic AI capabilities, confirming the industry trend.</description>

        <description>For the 300th (!!!!) episode of the podcast, Seth and Ken reminisce on changes to the industry and overall approach to application security since inception. The hosts discussed the evolution of the industry, noting that once-popular approaches like blindly emulating "hip" Silicon Valley security programs and running unmanaged Security Champions Programs have fallen out of favor, as organizations now better understand that these approaches are not one-size-fits-all and require careful, metrics-driven management. While Bug Bounty Programs remain popular, they noted an increase in submissions from "skiddies" (script kiddies) that challenge program effectiveness and highlight the need for internal support and a proactive stance before rolling out a public program. Positively, they observed that the industry has become more mature, focusing on business value, metrics, and ROI , a move that may have been accelerated by recent economic pressures. Furthermore, security practices have improved, with the decline of common vulnerabilities like XSS and SQL Injection due to safer frameworks and browser controls, allowing AppSec professionals to focus on more complex issues, such as business logic flaws and focused threat analysis, while the once monolithic process of threat modeling has evolved into a more nimble, "point-in-time" assessment readily adopted by developers.</description>

This discussion spurred by a recent article from signalblur of magonia.io discussing alerts in a security operations center. In short, only considering existence of a flaw (or alert) is not enough by itself. True impact comes by understanding context. Anyone want t-shirts? A discussion of the recent successful phish of an npm package maintainer, resulting in exposure of millions of projects depending on popular npm packages.

        <description>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.</description>

        <description>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.</description>

        <description>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?

        <description>Seth (@sethlaw) and Ken (@cktricky) are back this week with some hot takes on the recent cancellation of OWASP's San Francisco Developer Days that were running alongside Global AppSec San Francisco. OWASP has struggled to engage the development community over the years and this is no surprise for anyone in AppSec/ProdSec. This is followed by review of the ALBeast (why do all vulnerabilities have to be branded?) and how our past selves were correct in identifying dangerous TLDs as being exploitable.</description>

        <description>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.</description>

The first is from CrankySec, where the idea that security isn't valued over other technical business aspects. The second article is from Keith Hoodlet (also a podcast guest) detailing why staying technical as a manager is something any of us should strive towards (and how to do it).</description>

        <description>Ken and Seth comment on their recent use of the same passwords across multiple organizations. Errr, or wait. That's administrators in some instances, according to recently published analysis from Lares. Will we ever get over passwords or are we doomed to repeat the past? In other news, GitHub Copilot may be (one of) the culprit(s) for the enshitification of code, based on a published paper from GitClear. Or it might just be that organizations and developers should have coding standards. Or maybe it's not that deep. Come join us and chat about it.</description>

        <description>What now? Another episode? You have to be kidding me. Now I get to write another summary per my job description. At least this episode covers some security topics like as Software Supply Chain Security using socket.dev and protecting yourself with security basics as a package maintainer. And the discussion of recent cyber attacks against Toyota hardware suppliers and AutoWarp vulnerability for Azure was at least interesting. Listen, or don't, I'm just required to write the description.</description>
