87.8% of practitioners say AI findings still need manual validation. We took AI Pentests to DEF CON to find out if that holds up in front of the people who'd actually use it. Here's what came back.
WordPress runs roughly 40% of the internet, so when a routine weekend dig into its REST API turned up a pre-auth path to full database compromise, we didn't get much sleep. In this write-up, we chain a batch-endpoint route confusion bug (CVE-2026-63030) with a SQL injection in WP_Query (CVE-2026-60137) to go from anonymous request to admin account, no cracked hashes required. Read the full article to see how we faked oEmbed cache entries, built a nav_menu_item privilege chain out of seven UNION queries, and landed a webshell without ever logging in.
FuelCMS v1.5.2 might be an older, largely unmaintained project, but its codebase is still highly combustible. In our latest research sprint, we uncovered seven new vulnerabilities lurking under the hood. Read the full article to see the raw HTTP requests, learn how we bypassed brute-force rate limits, and watch us turn simple template syntax into a full system compromise.
Security teams had to cover more assets, respond to more CVEs, and explain more findings to more people than ever. And not just explain them - defend them. In front of clients. In front of auditors. In front of leadership that wants to know what actually changed since the last in-depth test.
Here's how we weaponized SessionReaper (CVE-2025-54236) against Magento 2, chaining ServiceInputProcessor quirks and a session proxy setter to forge customer sessions and hijack accounts. Our lab-tested PoC exposes attack surface, a possible preauth RCE, and an automated exploit - a practical walkthrough for researchers who like coffee strong and bugs reliable.
Elevate your next pentest by exploiting web cache poisoning. This deep dive uncovers the RFC nuances, common misconfigurations, and unkeyed request components that transform low-severity injections into critical, widespread compromises. Learn practical detection, exploitation (with PoCs!), and advanced mitigation techniques to weaponize your findings.
In February 2024, we set out to compare our Website Vulnerability Scanner against some of the established names in Dynamic Web Application Security Testing, both commercial and open-source: Burp Scanner, Acunetix, Qualys, Rapid7 InsightAppSec, and ZAP.
In January 2024, we decided to evaluate the most used network vulnerability scanners - Nessus Professional, Qualys, Rapid7 Nexpose, Nuclei, OpenVAS, and Nmap vulnerability scripts - including our own, which industry peers can validate independently. Here’s why we did it, what results we got, and how you can verify them (there’s a white paper you can download with access to all the results behind this benchmark).
