Shopify App Store Requirements: Do You Need a Pentest?

Oct 28, 2026 By Sanskriti Jain In Astra
Shopify App Store requirements have a lot to say about app security, and almost none of it says “get a pentest.” Dig through the App Store review rules, the protected customer data requirements, the Built for Shopify criteria, and the Certified Technology Partner list, and you’ll find only one program that mentions penetration testing. Others are just expected to be secure, which is fair, except there is no clear definition of the word or process for proving the same.

CORS Misconfiguration Was the #1 Mistake in Every App We Tested

Oct 27, 2026 By Keshav Malik In Astra
We gave four AI coding tools the same prompt and asked each one to build the same application. Emergent, Replit, Lovable, and Base44 all shipped something that ran, and none of them knew a pentest was coming. We then pointed our autonomous pentest agents at all four builds, and 137 confirmed vulnerabilities came back. One finding turned up in every app, which is a CORS misconfiguration.

Replit Security Under an Independent Pentest

Oct 27, 2026 By Keshav Malik In Astra
We built an application on Replit from a single prompt, gave it no special instructions about security, and then pentested it the way an attacker would. Replit had no advance notice that any of this was happening, and there is no vendor relationship between us. The app worked, which is worth saying first, because nothing about the build looked wrong from the outside.

10 Skills Every Modern CISO Needs Beyond Technical Expertise

Oct 26, 2026 By Priya In Astra
CISOs are hired for their technical depth and then judged on everything else: can they get a budget approved? Can they calm an executive team at 2 a.m. while the incident is still unfolding? Can they convince a product lead to delay a launch without making an enemy? Almost no one is trained for this second job, and yet, it’s the one that decides whether a security program succeeds. This article will highlight ten crucial Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) skills.

AI Agents in Bank Accounts: From "Who Logged In" to "Who Decided"

Oct 23, 2026 By Sanskriti Jain In Astra
The banks aren’t being hacked, at least not in the way the headlines imply. They’re being out-authenticated. No breach of JPMorgan’s, Morgan Stanley’s, Bank of America’s, Citi’s, or Wells Fargo’s core systems has been publicly reported. Instead, Axios reported on October 22—and Reuters corroborated—that AI agents in bank accounts (major U.S. banks) are being detected and blocked.

PHP2Shell Security Checklist: What to Ask Your Vendors

Oct 23, 2026 By Jinson Varghese In Astra
You might not run PHP yourself. That doesn’t mean you’re safe from PHP2Shell, which is why we created the PHP2Shell Security Checklist. Your SaaS provider might use PHP. Your hosting provider might manage PHP runtimes on your behalf. A third-party application could bundle PHP inside a container or software package you didn’t know existed. This is what makes PHP2Shell a supply-chain security concern.
