OWASP Top 10 Turns 20: Still Valid, Still Controversial
OWASP Top 10 Turns 20: Still Valid, Still Controversial Feb 10, 2026 1359 The OWASP Top 10 has been the web application security yardstick for over two decades now, from its first edition in 2003 to the latest 2025 update, with its changes of format and scope often stirring industry controversy.   In this episode of AppSec Serialized, Dan Murphy and Ryan Bergquist discuss the past, present, and future of the OWASP Top 10, and do a reality check on its practical usefulne
Dune and Gloom Under the AppSec Tree: From Shai-Hulud to React2Shell
Dune and Gloom Under the AppSec Tree: From Shai-Hulud to React2Shell Dec 18, 2025 1450 Supply-chain vulnerabilities are getting more frequent and dangerous, with the Shai-Hulud npm worm and React2Shell RCE vulnerability being just two of the recent ones.   In this episode of AppSec Serialized, Dan Murphy and Ryan Bergquist analyze those recent threats (plus a bonus Django vulnerability) and talk about the implications of security risk shifting towards dependencies.
20,000 Apps Under the Sea: Deep Dive into Vibe Coding Security
20,000 Apps Under the Sea: Deep Dive into Vibe Coding Security Nov 25, 2025 1579 Vibe coding is allowing even non-developers to produce fully functional web applications by using LLMs to generate code – but how secure are they?   In this episode of AppSec Serialized, special guest Bogdan Calin joins hosts Dan Murphy and Ryan Bergquist to talk about his research, which involved vibe-coding over 20,000 applications and analyzing them to learn what vulnerabilities and hardcoded s
Conducting the AppSec Symphony: From Noise to ASPM Harmony
Conducting the AppSec Symphony: From Noise to ASPM Harmony Oct 30, 2025 1644 Application security posture management (ASPM) has become a crucial pillar of AppSec programs by aggregating, correlating, and prioritizing vulnerability reports arriving from various testing tools.   In this episode of AppSec Serialized, Cenk Kalpakoğlu, founder of Kondukto, joins hosts Dan and Ryan to discuss the evolution of ASPM, how Invicti and Kondukto approach integrations, and how security
Prompt and Circumstance: LLM Vulnerability
Scanning
Prompt and Circumstance: LLM Vulnerability
Scanning Sep 23, 2025 2009 Large language models are transforming software development by making it easier to write and connect code, but they also introduce serious security risks. Vulnerabilities like LLM command injection, SSRF, and insecure outputs mirror traditional web flaws while creating new attack vectors unique to AI-driven apps.   In this episode, Dan Murphy and Ryan Bergquist discuss how LLM-powered applications
Revving the (Scan) Engine
Revving the (Scan) Engine Aug 14, 2025 1828 At the heart of any DAST product is a scan engine that needs to be fast and accurate while keeping up with how the latest applications and APIs are being built and attacked. As AI-assisted development increases both the volume of code and its opacity, having an engine that can automatically and reliably test for security flaws without holding up releases is crucial for any serious DAST solution—an
AppSec Tech Below the Deck
AppSec Tech Below the Deck Feb 25, 2025 1533 Application security engineers connect security to engineering in more ways than one. Without their efforts, skills, and tools, even the best-laid application security policies and programs would remain mere CISO wishlists.  In this episode, Invicti’s Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy talk to application security engineer Paul Good to learn what a day in the life of an AppSec guy looks like when you ne
CISO on the Seesaw
CISO on the Seesaw Jan 21, 2025 1967 The role of Chief Information Security Officer, or CISO, is crucial for any sizable organization yet often misunderstood as purely a compliance paperwork post. In reality, CISOs have to balance multiple aspects of information security to minimize risk, ensure timely incident response, maintain compliance, and more—all with finite resources and competing priorities. In this episode, Frank Catucci a
Another Code Brick in the Wall
Another Code Brick in the Wall Dec 17, 2024 1950 Software supply-chain security is one aspect of cybersecurity that affects every sizable application out there and also every organization that uses web apps and APIs. Application frameworks and libraries make up much of the running code base of modern software—and it only takes one vulnerable or compromised component to create a critical security gap. In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy
APIs Wide Open
APIs Wide Open Nov 19, 2024 1940 APIs are the secret door through which so many application attacks are executed in recent years. Compared to graphical user interfaces, they are far easier to build and deploy but far harder to test and secure, making API security a top concern. In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy dive into the world of API security, discussing high-profile breaches and looking at ways to discover and te
Machine Learning When the Perimeter is Burning
Machine Learning When the Perimeter is Burning Oct 24, 2024 1665 Knowing what sites, apps, and APIs you’re exposing to the Internet is crucial for determining your realistic risk level and making accurate security decisions. In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy are joined by special guest Bogdan Calin, Principal Security Researcher at Invicti, to talk about ways of determining an organization’s web attack surface and the resulting risk level. In partic
Hot Cross-Site Fun
Hot Cross-Site Fun Sep 10, 2024 1435 Cross-site scripting (XSS) is one of the oldest web vulnerability types and still a very real threat. In this episode, Frank Catucci and Dan Murphy talk about the origins of cross-site scripting, some high-profile attacks, and best practices to test for and also prevent XSS in applications. In the fiction segment, Mallory the hacker uses XSS to inject script into an old and vulnerable leaderboard
