  1. OWASP MCP Top 10: 2026 Security Framework and MCP Security Certification

    6 GIỜ TRƯỚC

    OWASP MCP Top 10: 2026 Security Framework and MCP Security Certification

    In this episode, we dive deep into the OWASP MCP Top 10, the first official security framework dedicated to the Model Context Protocol (MCP).  Ready to lead your team’s AI security strategy and bridge the skills gap? Enroll in the Certified MCP Security Expert (CMCPSE) Course today! Get hands-on experience in tool poisoning labs, OAuth 2.1 hardening, MCP red-teaming, and shadow server detection. This is the definitive certification to secure agentic AI in 2026. This framework addresses a critical shift in the threat model: as agentic AI moves into production, agents no longer rely on a small, hardcoded toolset but instead discover tools at runtime from any reachable server. This transition has turned every MCP server into a high-stakes trust boundary. We explore the sobering reality of 2026 security, where over 30 CVEs targeting MCP were filed in the first two months of the year alone; with shell injections making up 43% of those attacks. We break down the most critical risks, including: MCP01 (Token Mismanagement): How attackers exploit hard-coded credentials and long-lived tokens through prompt injection. MCP03 (Tool Poisoning): The danger of malicious instructions hidden in tool descriptions that the model reads, but the user never sees. MCP05 (Command Injection): The leading attack pattern in 2026, where agents build dangerous shell commands from untrusted input. MCP09 (Shadow MCP Servers): The risk of rogue servers impersonating trusted ones to hijack tool calls. Finally, we discuss a week-by-week prioritization strategy to help security teams close the most dangerous gaps first, starting with token hygiene and OAuth 2.1 implementation. With a massive skills gap currently facing the industry, mastering these categories is no longer optional for AppSec engineers. https://www.linkedin.com/company/practical-devsecops/ https://www.youtube.com/@PracticalDevSecOps https://twitter.com/pdevsecops

    Exploiting Hidden Endpoints and Centralizing Defense with Kong - Your API Documentation is a Lie

    Is your API documentation telling the truth? In this episode, we dive into the uncomfortable reality that API documentation is often a "lie" because of the gap between Swagger files and what is actually running in production. We explore how attackers exploit this gap using advanced fuzzing techniques and JWT manipulation, and why a centralised defense strategy using Kong API Gateway is the only way to effectively secure modern microservices. Key Topics Covered: The JWT Illusion: We debunk the myth that JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are inherently secure. Because JWTs are encoded rather than encrypted, anyone who intercepts a token can read its payload in seconds. We discuss how attackers exploit servers that "trust" whatever a token says without a second opinion, leading to unauthorized admin access through signature flaws or "alg: none" exploits. The Power of API Fuzzing: Learn how attackers use the predictability of REST naming conventions to guess hidden routes. We highlight the use of high-speed tools like ffuf to fire tens of thousands of requests at a server to map out an application's shadow attack surface. The 405 Signal: Discover the "single most useful technique" in API discovery: the 405 Method Not Allowed response. While many security teams ignore this, it tells an attacker exactly where hidden admin or registration endpoints exist, even if they are unauthorized to access them at that moment. The Microservice Security Trap: Why writing security logic into every individual microservice is a "losing strategy". We explain how this creates a patchwork of inconsistent controls where one weak, legacy service can compromise the entire perimeter. Centralising Defense with Kong Gateway: We break down how Kong acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring no request reaches the backend without passing through global security controls. Learn how to use rate limiting to kill automated attacks and the critical importance of disabling direct access to backend server IP addresses. Featured Experts: This episode draws on a hands-on workshop led by Marudhamaran Gunasekaran, Principal Security Consultant, and insights from Aditya Patni, Security Research Writer at Practical DevSecOps. Call to Action: Stop relying on optional security suggestions. If you want to build real-world API security skills, check out the Certified API Security Professional (CASP) program, which focuses on hands-on labs rather than multiple-choice theory. You can also watch the full API Security Workshop on the Practical DevSecOps YouTube channel to see these exploits and defenses in action.

    SLSA Framework: The Definitive Guide for Securing Your Software Supply Chain

    In this episode, we dive deep into the SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) framework, the definitive standard for securing your software supply chain. With software supply chain attacks increasing by 742% between 2019 and 2022, understanding frameworks like SLSA—pronounced "salsa"—is no longer optional; it is an operational reality. We explore the origins of SLSA, which began at Google as "Binary Authorization for Borg" before being contributed to the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) in 2021. We break down what SLSA provides: a common vocabulary for security maturity, verifiable provenance metadata, and incremental security levels that align with NIST SSDF and EO 14028 requirements. Join us as we dissect the four SLSA security levels, from Level 0 (the default state of no provenance) to Level 3, which mandates hardened builds with isolated and ephemeral environments. We discuss how these Level 3 protections could have potentially stopped major breaches like the SolarWinds attack by preventing persistent access to build environments and isolating signing keys. We also touch on other high-profile incidents like Codecov and Log4Shell that highlight the urgent need for artifact integrity. The episode also covers the technical mechanics of SLSA, specifically "provenance"—the tamper-evident metadata that answers who built an artifact, what sources were used, and how it was constructed. We examine the Sigstore toolchain, including Cosign, Fulcio, and Rekor, which enables the "keyless" cryptographic signing essential for modern supply chain security. For those ready to move from theory to practice, we outline a implementation roadmap starting from Level 1 (fully scripted builds) to Level 3 (enforced verification in production), a journey that typically takes between three to six months. We also highlight the critical roles of different stakeholders, from developers signing commits to organizations establishing policy enforcement at deployment boundaries. Finally, we address the limitations of the framework—noting that it focuses on build integrity rather than code quality or runtime security—and point you toward the Certified Software Supply Chain Security Expert (CSSE) course for those ready to master these concepts through hands-on labs. Whether you are an AppSec engineer, a security professional, or a cybersecurity analyst, this episode provides the practical, research-backed insights you need to defend against source tampering, dependency poisoning, and provenance forgery. Key Topics Covered: Defining SLSA and its role in the OpenSSF. The 742% increase in supply chain attacks and lessons from SolarWinds. The roadmap from Level 0 to Level 3 "Hardened Builds". The power of Sigstore and cryptographic provenance. Common implementation mistakes, such as skipping Level 1 or ignoring verification. How to get certified as a Software Supply Chain Security Expert.
