Dissecting XSS Flaw In Commercial Code: Why Open Source Isn't Your Only Concern

It’s no secret that open source security is a hotly debated topic. However it’s important to keep in mind that commercially licensed third-party software carries much of the same risk as open source software. While helping a customer attain a Verified certification, one of Veracode’s application security consultants uncovered a cross-site scripting flaw in the popular Telerik Reporting project. The flaw has since been patched but it’s these types of unknown risks that organizations take when introducing third party code into their environment. During this talk, you’ll hear from Matt Runkle, the AppSec Consultant who uncovered the XSS flaw, to get insight into the mind of a hacker and hear how vulnerabilities like XSS are commonly exploited in third party software and how you can take action to prevent attacks like this in your own environment.
