At OWASP Global AppSec Vienna, you’ll do the usual: sessions, coffee runs, vendor chats. BUT, what if this time you actually leave with more than slides and swag? Introducing: Meet The Mentor ☕⚡ 👀 Thursday 25 June 2026 | 10:30–11:45 CEST https://lnkd.in/eDZj8cn5 A speed-dating-style matchmaking moment for mentors & mentees, real people, real conversations, real “this might actually click” energy. 💡 Meet someone who can help level up your career 💡 Or be that person for someone else 💡 7–10 minutes that might outlast the whole conference chat history No awkward small talk required (okay, maybe just a little 🙃 ). Just quick conversations, honest vibes, and the chance to find your career counterpart in the wild. Because sometimes the most valuable security tool… is another human. 😉 #appsec #owasp #OWASPVienna26 #mentors #conference #networking

As the author of OWASP Coraza, there's one gap that has been bothering me: Node.js has been missing a real Web Application Firewall for 17 years. Today I'm releasing coraza-node (preview) - the first language-native connector for OWASP Coraza. It brings the full OWASP Core Rule Set v4 into any Node.js app as a regular npm dependency. No sidecar, no proxy, no extra infra. Just middleware. How it works: Coraza (Go) compiled to WebAssembly via TinyGo, running inside your Node process through a worker pool. One worker per CPU core, so it scales with your hardware without blocking the event loop. SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, path traversal, scanner fingerprints - inspected before your route handler ever sees the request. Ships with a CRS profile pre-tuned for Node.js apps - no extra config needed. Performance is not yet perfect, but I hope to receive lots of feedback so we can make it faster together. This is preview and not officially part of OWASP Coraza yet - the plan is to transfer it to the OWASP Foundation once the API is stable.

AI threat modelling hard? Not anymore. Today the OWASP AI Exchange releases the threat model one-pager to quickly help you identify AI security threats. It summarizes the step-by-step decision tree approach from the AI Exchange threat model section. How to use: 1. Walk by each threat  2. Base on the column ‘When’, detemine if that threat applies in theory to your AI system 3. If so, use the column ‘Impact’ to help decide whether the risk needs to be treated or not, depending on the level of harm for the use case The result: you start big, but you end up with a relativey small list of risks to focus on. For example: You don’t have to protect against model inversion attacks that try to steal your training data, if that data isn’t sensitive. It sounds obvious, but I’ve seen many cases of protections in place for threats that effectively don’t matter. Another example: If your agentic system uses an LLM, then it is in theory susceptible to indirect prompt injection: malicious instructions in untrusted data that manipulate agent behaviour. But if your only concern is that sensitive company data leaks, and there is no way for the system to send data to an attacker (e.g., email), then this threat remains theoretical. The risk does not have to be treated. This all started three years ago, with us at Software Improvement Group donating our AI threat model to open source, which became the AI Exchange, and the rest is history. A month ago we launched the Auto Threat Modeling agent. Today, we share this one-pager with the world, it will have its debut at our workshop here at the SANS Institute AI Security Summit in DC, together with Disesdi Shoshana Cox, and I'll be teaching it at OWASP Global Appsec in Vienna on June 24th. We hope you make good use of it and recommend you to also look at the great threat modeling work out there, such as 😷 Adam Shostack’s trainings, Sebastien Deleersnyder’s work, and Ken Huang’s MAESTRO. Let me know in the comments if you have experience with other initiatives. #ai #aisecurity #threatmodeling #threatmodelling

As the summer approaches, open source sees a wave of new contributors. Every year, people explore repositories, go through issues, and try to understand where they can contribute. The challenge is rarely writing code. It is understanding the system well enough to make meaningful changes. OWASP BLT is participating in Social Summer of Code (SSOC), a three month program focused on open source contribution, learning, and collaboration. It brings together contributors from different backgrounds to work on real world projects, submit pull requests, and actively engage with the open source ecosystem. This brings that momentum into a project focused on real world security workflows. OWASP BLT (Bug Logging Tool) is a community driven OWASP project developing open source tools for vulnerability reporting, bug tracking, and security automation. The work spans APIs, dashboards, applications, bots, and ongoing research under OWASP, designed to make security processes more practical, structured, and usable. As part of this, we are also running an ongoing deletion program. Contributors review the repository, identify unused or unnecessary files, and remove them. Each valid contribution is rewarded with $1. This is a focused effort to keep the codebase clean, efficient, and maintainable, while contributors engage directly with the structure and evolution of the project. As the summer progresses, more areas of the project will be opened for contribution, along with clear guidelines and active issues.
