Introduction As seen in Part 1: Abusing Reverse Proxies: Metadata, open proxies can allow an attacker to access cloud metadata API services. However, even without metadata services available, open proxies can be a boon for an attacker. A primer on open proxy types: * Forward: typical use case is allowing private

Introduction Many cloud service providers offer a "metadata" service on their virtual machines. These services offer sensitive details about the instance and cloud operating environment. Metadata services offer REST APIs to programmatically retrieve this data. Amazon’s AWS service defined the IMDSv1 “standard” on their EC2 instances, and

We search for secret leaks in a variety of places including GitHub, JS files, HTTP replies, source code, and other places. Once we've identified these keys, the next question is: what service does this key belong to, and is it valid? Answers to those questions determines the severity

We'd like to thank @c3l3si4n for disclosing the first security vulnerability that affects nuclei. This blog describes a brief overview of the security issue/impact and the measures we took to address it. Issue Summary The nuclei engine has a code execution vulnerability using components with known vulnerabilities

The new nuclei v2.4.0 release includes a slew of bug fixes and feature enhancements that improve the overall uniformity, stability, and functionality of the tool. Uniform This version includes improvements to the template execution process, with the nuclei-templates repository now serving as the default entry point. This means

Within the v2.3.0 release, we've introduced File based scanning capabilities into the Nuclei engine. If you are already a Nuclei user, you will find it familiar because it follows the same principles as the HTTP based templates. We wanted to provide a similar approach to make

Apache Airflow is an Open Source tool that allows users "programmatically author, schedule and monitor workflows". We decided to create a suite of checks for testing security of Airflow installations and document the entire process to show how easy it is to write custom nuclei templates for any

What Is a Race Condition Vulnerability? A race condition attack happens when a computing system that’s designed to handle tasks in a specific sequence is forced to perform two or more operations simultaneously. This technique takes advantage of a time gap between the moment a service is initiated and

Update: PD-Actions GitHub project is suspended by GitHub team due to abuse of Actions platform by malicious actors using PD-Actions. "GitHub Actions help you automate tasks within your software development life cycle. GitHub Actions are event-driven, meaning that you can run a series of commands after a specified event
