Security writeups from researchers for researchers

I know it sounds like a clickbait, but it's not, stick around. LLMs now discover real‑world zero‑days and they do it with brute‑force patience, not superhuman IQ. Today, a swarm of lightweight LLM agents can out‑grind any human. If you think language models are

Tl;DR The candidate applied for an open backend position at our company Vidoc Security Lab. He had a decent CV and LinkedIn profile but used a deepfake during the coding interview, pretending to be a different person. This incident could be linked to a North Korean hacker group that

Part II of the Developer’s Guide for a secure API implementation. Devs are the core of web applications, that's why you should continue learning how to prevent common attacks and secure your endpoints correctly. Avoid deploying vulnerable code by taking into account these Security Best Practices.

Explore the technical essentials of Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and dependency scanning, crucial tools for securing software against cyber threats in AI-driven development environments.

The perfect introduction for those wanting to understand Prototype Pollution vulnerabilities and exploits. Because not everyone knows how Objects in JavaScript work, but we are about to change that! Are you up for the challenge?

Beginners guide to this common security misconfiguration. Here you'll find the steps to quickly spot and exploit CORS vulnerabilities out in the wild. Shall we start?

SAST tools overlook more than 85% of CVEs in real-world scenarios. Outdated security automation can't keep pace with rapid code development. There is the hidden cost of security automation - validating false positives.

Discover how to safeguard your applications with effective secrets management. Learn about the challenges of secrets detection and how Vidoc Security Lab's AI Security Engineer can revolutionize your security measures against AI-generated code threats.

Developer’s Guide for a secure API implementation. Devs are the core of web applications, however, they are also the ones who end up introducing and deploying vulnerabilities that later get exploited. That's why you should know how to prevent common attacks and secure your endpoints correctly.

Distinguishing between SAST & DAST is crucial for any robust security strategy. Adopting a unified approach, by leveraging both scans, ensures that your software remains secure during its lifecycle, effectively mitigating potential risks and vulnerabilities in today’s fast-paced digital environment.

In the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, where the emergence of AI-generated code presents unprecedented challenges, the concept of automated penetration testing emerges as a beacon of innovation and efficiency.

Beginners guide to Reflected XSS. Everyone talks about the different XSS cheatsheets, and then you are supposed to try them one by one to see if any of the payloads get executed on your target. We don't like that. It's time-consuming and a mindless task.
