OWASP Introduction, Welcome and News - Sam Stepanyan, Andra Lezza, Sherif Mansour - OWASP London Chapter Leaders

"DNS Based OSINT Techniques for Product and Service Discovery" - Rishi Chudasama

This talk will explain how to map products and services by passively detecting DNS TXT records. By examining these records, we can identify technologies used in an organisation's infrastructure without directly probing the target

"Race Against The Workflows: Stealing GitHub Tokens from Docker Images" - Gaëtan Ferry

Your Dockerfile says COPY . . and you think, "What could go wrong?" Turns out: a lot. We're diving into a sneaky GitHub Actions vulnerability where your authentication tokens get stored inside Docker image layers and published to public registries, where anyone can grab them. A race follows, between your workflow finishing and attackers downloading your Docker layers to loot the secrets hiding inside. Learn how this works, how to exploit it, and how to make sure your pipelines aren't leaking secrets to the world.

"Securing the SDLC: From Container Images to AI Agents" - Tharinda Basnayake

This presentation examines the evolution of supply chain security challenges from container images to AI agents. We'll explore how modern development practices create new attack vectors, from containers running hundreds of unnecessary packages to AI agents accessing enterprise systems without proper security controls
