In this session we'll make a quick walk through the most common security issues in Joomla extensions, explain the underlying mechanisms and find out how to harden your extension.

Almost a hundred security vulnerabilites in Joomla extensions have been reported to the Joomla! Project in the first 8 months of 2017. Considering that only a small percentage of vulnerabilities are reported to the project it makes this list "the tip of the iceberg" with the problem of vulnerable extensions being even bigger. In this session we'll make a quick walk through the most common security issues present in third-party Joomla extensions, explain how they work, and discuss how they can be prevented by developing your extension properly.
