The Web Security Seminar

Happy New Year, everyone!

Due to the increased risk of black ice tomorrow, we are moving the January 12, 2026 session online. You can find the Zoom link here:
https://cms.cispa.saarland/websecsem_wise2526/3/Zoom_link_for_Session_9

Please note that we will require cameras to be on during the session. This is to ensure the same level of engagement as an in-person meeting and to avoid Zoom fatigue when cameras are off, which is especially important during the paper discussion phase.

Dear students,

Due to the merger of Sessions 6 and 7 into a single session on 08.12.2025, there will be no discussion for the Session 6 paper. Instead, you are required to submit the summary for the Session 7 paper "Scaling JavaScript Abstract Interpretation to Detect and Exploit Node.js Taint-style Vulnerability"

Best,
Giancarlo

Dear students,

I've made a small update to our session schedule after realizing that December 22 falls within the semester break, and many of you may already have travel plans. The key changes are as follows:

• No session on 22.12.2025. Session 8 has been rescheduled from 22.12 to 15.12.2025
• Sessions 6 and 7 will both take place on 08.12.2025. On that day, we’ll have two presentations (Session 6 and Session 7), but due to time constraints, we’ll discuss only the main paper from Session 7

Please make a note of these adjustments.
