In this episode, we explore the emerging security risks of AI and LLMs in modern applications. Iman shares real-world experiences bypassing AI guardrails like LlamaGuard and OpenAI Shield, while the team discusses prompt injection attacks, system prompt exposure, excessive agency vulnerabilities, and data poisoning. Learn about the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, why AI usage policies are critical, and how attackers are exploiting everything from calendar invites to resume processors with hidden prompts.

In this episode of The AppSec Insiders Podcast, we dive into two major security stories making headlines: a fake Solidity extension that drained a developer’s crypto wallets, and Google’s AI-powered tool “Big Sleep” uncovering a critical Chrome vulnerability. From malicious packages to AI-driven defenses, we break down what these cases reveal about today’s evolving AppSec landscape.

On this episode of The AppSec Insiders Podcast, we dive into CVE-2025-25257, a Fortinet FortiWeb Fabric Connector SQL injection vulnerability that escalates to RCE. We break down how this exploit works, why it’s so impactful, and what lessons organizations can learn, from proper network segmentation to the importance of SAST in your pipeline. 

We also touch on broader trends, from IoT security issues to recurring mistakes in network management. Plus, we share upcoming events where you can meet us in person and give a quick update on the Eureka DevSecOps platform launch.

In this episode, we unpack CVE-2025-49596, where prompt injection, CSRF, and localhost access were chained to achieve RCE in the MCP Inspector AI tool. Learn how the exploit worked, what it reveals about LLM security risks, and how to defend against similar threats with sandboxing, access controls, and DevSecOps monitoring.
