The talk discusses the importance of supply chain security in the open source ecosystem, highlighting the risks of relying on open source code without proper code review. It explores the trend of supply chain attacks and the need for a new approach to detect and block malicious dependencies. The talk also introduces Socket, a tool that assesses the security of packages and provides automation and analysis to protect against malware and supply chain attacks. It emphasizes the need to prioritize security in software development and offers insights into potential solutions such as realms and Deno's command line flags.

The State of Passwordless Auth on the Web
Passwords are terrible and easily hacked, with most people not using password managers. The credential management API and autocomplete attribute can improve user experience and security. Two-factor authentication enhances security but regresses user experience. Passkeys offer a seamless and secure login experience, but browser support may be limited. Recommendations include detecting Passkey support and offering fallbacks to passwords and two-factor authentication.

Lucas Estevão, a Principal UI Engineer and Technical Manager at Avenue Code, discusses how to implement Content Security Policy (CSP) with Next.js to enhance website security. He explains that CSP is a security layer that protects against cross-site scripting and data injection attacks by restricting browser functionality. The talk covers adding CSP to an XJS application using meta tags or headers, and demonstrates the use of the 'nonce' attribute for allowing inline scripts securely. Estevão also highlights the importance of using content security reports to identify and improve application security.

How to hack a RealWorld live React application in seven minutes. Tips, best practices, and pitfalls when writing React code. XSS and cross-site scripting in React. React's secure by default, but not always. The first thing to discover: adding a link to a React application. React code vulnerability: cross-site scripting with Twitter link. React doesn't sanitize or output H ref attributes. Fix attempts: detect JavaScript, use dummy hashtag, transition to lowercase. Control corrector exploit. Best practices: avoid denialist approach, sanitize user inputs. React's lack of sanitization and output encoding for user inputs. Exploring XSS vulnerabilities and the need to pretty print JSON. The React JSON pretty package and its potential XSS risks. The importance of context encoding and secure coding practices.

Passwordless authentication may seem complex, but it is simple to add it to any app using the right tool. There are multiple alternatives that are much better than passwords to identify and authenticate your users - including SSO, SAML, OAuth, Magic Links, One-Time Passwords, and Authenticator Apps.
While addressing security aspects and avoiding common pitfalls, we will enhance a full-stack JS application (Node.js backend + React frontend) to authenticate users with OAuth (social login) and One Time Passwords (email), including:- User authentication - Managing user interactions, returning session / refresh JWTs- Session management and validation - Storing the session securely for subsequent client requests, validating / refreshing sessions- Basic Authorization - extracting and validating claims from the session token JWT and handling authorization in backend flows
At the end of the workshop, we will also touch other approaches of authentication implementation with Descope - using frontend or backend SDKs.

In this workshop we will go through all the aspects and stages when integrating your project into Code Quality and Security Ecosystem. We will take a simple web-application as a starting point and create a CI pipeline triggering code quality monitoring for it. We will do a full development cycle starting from coding in the IDE and opening a Pull Request and I will show you how you can control the quality at those stages. At the end of the workshop you will be ready to enable such integration for your own projects.

Passwordless Auth to Servers: hands on with ASA

These days, you don't need a separate password for every website you log into. Yet thanks to tech debt and tradition, many DevOps professionals are still wrangling a host of SSH keys to access the servers where we sometimes need to be. With modern OAuth, a single login and second factor to prove your identity are enough to securely get you into every service that you're authorized to access. What if SSHing into servers was that easy? In this workshop, we'll use Okta's Advanced Server Access tool (formerly ScaleFT) to experience one way that the dream of sending SSH keys the way of the password has been realized.
- we'll discuss how ASA works and when it's the right tool for the job- we'll walk through setting up a free trial Okta account to use ASA from, and configuring the ASA gateway and server on Linux servers- we'll then SSH into our hosts with the ASA clients without needing to supply an SSH key from our laptops- we'll review the audit logs of our SSH sessions to examine what commands were run
