How Amp got its SOC 2 type II pentest evidence in hours

Amp is building the AI hiring team for frontline employers. Compliance was in the product from day one, which meant a pentest in year one. Here is how they scoped it, ran it in hours with Escape, and made sure they're ready for their SOC 2 Type II audit.

Authenticated scanning behind OAuth, MFA, and CAPTCHA

Authenticated scanning behind OAuth, MFA, and CAPTCHA

Authenticated vulnerability scanning reaches where your real risk lives, behind the login, and it is the kind of security scanning most tools fail at. A scanner hits the OAuth redirect, the MFA prompt, or the CAPTCHA, falls back to crawling as an anonymous visitor, and still finishes green, so the report says you are covered while the account APIs, admin flows, and tenant boundaries go untested. Authenticated apps break naive scanners in a handful of predictable ways, from OAuth redirects and

How Escape AI Pentesting Exploited SSRF in LiteLLM

At Escape, we routinely test the AI infrastructure that teams deploy inside their cloud environments. LLM gateways, RAG pipelines, model proxies: these are services that make outbound HTTP requests by design, which makes them natural targets for SSRF. When we looked at LiteLLM, we found three confirmed SSRF sinks, a security gate that was specifically built to prevent this exact bug class, and a bypass that means the gate itself is broken. The organization has confirmed to our research team th

[Webinar] Doing More With Less: How Security Teams Escape Manual Work with Efficient Workflows

Security teams are under constant pressure to do more with the same resources. Manual processes, fragmented tools, and inefficient workflows can slow teams down and pull focus away from what matters most. In this live webinar, experienced security practitioners share how they’ve escaped the constraints of limited resources by rethinking internal workflows, reducing repetitive tasks, and focusing their effort where it matters most. Feeling the pressure to do more with less? Then, this session i

Best API security testing tools in 2026: top picks, key features and expert comparison

When it comes to securing applications and APIs, the best API security testing tools are indispensable. These advanced solutions detect vulnerabilities by continuously scanning for weaknesses and simulating real-world attacks. But how do you choose between all API security testing vendors? Agentless API security tools are transforming application security by overcoming the pitfalls of traffic-based solutions like Noname security (part of Akamai) or Salt Security, which burden teams with long s

MCP Endpoint Discovery & External Scanning in Escape ASM

Escape ASM (Attack Surface Management) now natively supports the discovery and external scanning of unauthenticated MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoints, extending discovery coverage to a new generation of AI-native APIs and LLM infrastructure. As organizations increasingly adopt MCP to connect large language models (LLMs) with tools, data sources, and internal services, new externally exposed attack surfaces are emerging, often without clear visibility or security controls.

Apple's App Store Source Map Leak: A Preventable Vulnerability We Found in 70% of Organizations

On November 4, 2025, Apple shipped its redesigned App Store website. However, it came with a surprise: JavaScript sourcemaps enabled in production. Within hours, it enabled some to download Apple’s entire front-end codebase directly from the production site. They used a Chrome extension to extract and save all the available resources from the web App Store, and decided to archive them on GitHub for educational purposes. Here's why we're talking about it: with Escape DAST, we've found this exact
