Wondering how to exploit this?

We just released a purposely vulnerable sample Java application, with a walk-through of how to craft a malicious JWT signature to bypass the verification process

Welp. It’s the crypto bug of the year. Mark it down for April. Java 15-18 ECDSA doesn’t sanity check that the random x coordinate and signature proof are nonzero; a (0,0) signature validates any message. Breaks JWT, SAML, &c. neilmadden.blog/2022/04/19/psy…

I know I am old because last night I slept not-perfectly-straight and this morning I woke up with back pain 😩

I find CDG (Paris) is the worst airport to connect through. I much prefer AMS (Amsterdam). AMS is easier to navigate, less buses, better and more food options, more bathrooms. If you have an option go AMS.

This is an awesome little conference, and the place to be if you’re into cloud security. Well worth attending if you can make it, and worth paying attention to the research released there regardless.
