Talk from Marco Ippolito, Senior Developer Experience Engineer, NearForm, at OpenJS World 2023 in Bilbao, Spain, September 19-21, 2023.

This presentation talks about the OWASP Top 10 security vulnerabilities in Node.js. Marco explains OWASP and how he compiles the Top 10 list. He then goes through the ten vulnerabilities, providing examples of how they could occur in a Node.js application and ways to prevent or remediate them, such as input validation, access control, updating dependencies, logging failures, and more. The talk focused on common security issues web developers face and best practices to avoid vulnerabilities like injection, cryptographic failures, insecure design, and broken access control.
