Ah yes, another "revolutionary" #API promising to unite the #AI models of #Europe with the transformative power of a single login screen. 🌍🔑 Because apparently, the real challenge in AI isn't the technology, but remembering which API key unlocks #Skynet. 🤖✨

Ah, the digital Fort Knox of API keys! 🏰 Because who wouldn't want to turn their code into an unending #security checkpoint #circus 🎪, complete with browser verifications and #JavaScript hijinks? Just what every developer dreams of: #debugging security measures instead of their actual code! 🚀

🚀 New Talk Confirmed for BSides Luxembourg 2026!

Leaky API Keys, Log Tampering, and Account Takeover – Aleksa Zatezalo

Modern cloud systems are highly secure in isolation, but real-world risk emerges at the seams — where services integrate. This talk explores how seemingly minor misconfigurations in logging pipelines, API integrations, and third-party services can quietly escalate into high-impact security breaches.

Through three real-world inspired vulnerability scenarios, the session demonstrates how leaked API keys from client-side logs, misconfigured S3 uploads, and insecure integrations (such as Supabase and financial data pipelines) can be chained into account takeover paths. The focus is on understanding the underlying anti-patterns rather than isolated bugs.

Attendees will leave with a structured framework to identify these cross-service weaknesses and practical remediation strategies that go beyond patching symptoms — targeting the architectural root causes that enable entire classes of exploitation.

Aleksa Zatezalo is a security engineer and software developer with experience in cloud security consulting, offensive security tooling, and contributions to Metasploit. He currently works at Praetorian and is OSCP-certified, pursuing OSCE3, with a strong focus on applied offensive security research.

개발자 공개 API 키가 이제 라이브 Gemini AI 자격 증명처럼 동작해, 공격자가 이를 악용해 비용이 큰 비인가 작업을 실행할 수 있다는 경고가 나왔습니다. AI API 보안과 키 관리의 중요성을 보여주는 내용입니다.
