Subject: RISE July 10th - DOMination: Weaponizing XSS


Hey Cyber Enthusiasts,

Hope you're all staying cool in this scorching July heat! While the temperatures outside are blazing, we've got a meeting coming up that's going to be even hotter – in a good, cybersecurity-savvy way, of course!

Prepare to have your minds melted (with knowledge, not the sun!) at our next RISE Cyber Security meeting. We're thrilled to announce a speaker who's ready to fire up your understanding of web vulnerabilities.

This month, we're welcoming the brilliant Ben Eldritch to the stage. He's bringing a talk with the following details:

DOMination: Weaponizing XSS

Even the smallest input can create a big problem. Oftentimes XSS vulnerabilities are demonstrated by popping an alert box on your screen or sending out document cookies to an external endpoint. But did you know as soon as you get access to the DOM the webpage becomes a blank canvas? The possibilities are endless from background JavaScript execution, mapping internal networks and even assisting in MFA mimicry. Join us as we discuss various techniques that turn simple XSS vulnerabilities into powerful phishing landscapes and advanced threat playgrounds.

Come join us for an evening that's sure to be illuminating and help you beat the heat of potential cyber threats! We promise it'll be more refreshing than an ice-cold lemonade on a hot day.
