Exploiting and Fixing Client-Side Path Traversal (CSPT) Vulnerabilities | CyberSecurityTV

In this video, we explore a powerful yet often overlooked web vulnerability known as Client-Side Path Traversal (CSPT). Using the CSPT Playground by DNSsec, we demonstrate how attackers can exploit insecure client-side logic to manipulate path parameters, bypass access controls, and potentially trigger dangerous POST requests — even with authentication tokens like JWT or CSRF included. We walk through a practical attack scenario, explain how CSPT can be chained with other vulnerabilities like CSRF, and highlight why traditional defenses like same-site cookies may fall short. Most importantly, we discuss critical remediation strategies, including backend JSON schema enforcement, frontend input sanitization, and improving security in API client libraries. This deep dive into CSPT will help developers and security researchers better understand and defend against this subtle yet serious threat.

Critical .NET Security Updates Released for July 2024

Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in .NET 6.0 and 8.0

Denial of Service Vulnerabilities affecting .NET 8.0

As developers, it's crucial that we stay on top of these security patches to maintain the integrity and safety of our applications. Failing to update could leave our systems exposed to potential attacks.The .NET team has been hard at work to identify and resolve these issues, and we commend their commitment to keeping the framework secure. 👏If you haven't already, make sure to update your .NET 6.0 and 8.0 installations as soon as possible. The stability and protection of our applications depend on it!
