! Vulnerability detection
Title: Detecting and preventing Pharo vulnerabilities
Name: Imen Sayar, Steven Costiou
Email: [email protected], [email protected]

""Abstract:""
Object-oriented applications are prone to vulnerabilities in their code leading to attacks. These attacks, once detected, are declared in known databases such as
Mitre (https://cve.mitre.org/) and NVD (https://nvd.nist.gov/). Based on some criteria such as the severity and the scope, these attacks are classified according to the
Open Source Foundation for Application Security (OWASP: https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/) into more than 10 categories.
In the Mitre database, there are no declared attacks against Pharo code.
Recently, we have conducted an experiment to simulate attacks on Pharo using log files as a entry point for attacks. We have succeded in carring out an attack targeting code written in Pharo.
In this talk, we will present some concepts linked to the attacks of object-oriented languages. We will, then, give a PoC and explain how the simulated attack is perfromed.
We will conclude by giving some lessons learned and good practices to avoid this kind of attacks.
