Changelog

Sniper now supports exploitation of CVE-2022-29303 (SolarView Compact), with Network Scanner detection included.

Why it matters

SolarView Compact devices are common in industrial and OT environments. A compromised device makes a useful pivot point into broader network infrastructure.

How to use

Detect with the Network Scanner → prove exploitability in Sniper → document the finding for remediation prioritization.

The Website Scanner's Automatic and Recorded authentication methods now use AI as a fallback when standard login detection fails. On complex or dynamic pages, the AI layer kicks in and completes the login reliably. It only intervenes when the current method can't.

What's in it for you:

• Fewer failed scans on modern web apps with non-standard login flows

• No configuration changes needed

• More consistent scan coverage across authenticated areas of your targets

Scan results now show the tests that ran during a scan, grouped by port. Previously, this information surfaced as Informational findings which added noise. That distinction is now clear.

Why this matters:

• Easier to verify scan coverage at a glance

• Cleaner reports, as findings are now presented separately from tests

• Helps with scope verification and compliance documentation

Sniper: Auto-Exploiter now includes an exploit for CVE-2025-37164 (HPE OneView), paired with Network Scanner detection.

Why it matters

This unauthenticated RCE compromises the controls that govern an entire datacenter, not just a single host. A successful exploit here has a wide blast radius.

How to use

Detect with the Network Scanner → confirm exploitability in Sniper → use the evidence to fast-track remediation sign-off.

We added an exclusive exploit for CVE-2025-4008 (MeteoBridge) into Sniper and paired it with Network Scanner detection.

Why it matters

This RCE gives you root-level access on a device most teams don't monitor or patch. MeteoBridge devices often sit quietly on internal segments, making them easy pivot points.

How to use

Detect with the Network Scanner → validate the risk with a one-click proof-of-concept in Sniper → check for forensic traces of exploitation to assist your post-compromise hunting.

We've rolled out the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect it to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, or any MCP-compatible client and run scans, manage targets, retrieve findings, and generate reports through plain-language prompts.

Use this to:

• Cut context-switching during investigations

• Kick off scans by describing a target in natural language, no UI required

• Connect your AI workflows to real-time pentest data from your account

Every tool call requires your explicit approval before it runs. Strict JSON-Schema validation keeps execution more predictable.

We added an exclusive exploit for CVE-2026-24061 (GNU Inetutils Telnetd) into Sniper and paired it with Network Scanner detection, available exclusively to Pentest-Tools.com customers.

Why it matters

This critical authentication bypass (CVSS 9.8) lets unauthenticated attackers gain immediate root access via a malicious USER environment variable. With over 200,000 instances exposed globally, it is a high-impact target for mass exploitation against legacy and embedded systems.

How to use

Detect with the Network Scanner → validate the risk with a one-click proof-of-concept in Sniper → check for forensic traces of exploitation to assist your post-compromise hunting.

The Network Vulnerability Scanner now detects CVE-2025-62507, a remote code execution vulnerability affecting Redis.

This check helps identify Redis instances that may be exposed to this vulnerability, particularly in internet-facing deployments or misconfigured internal environments.

Why this matters:

• Identify Redis servers vulnerable to remote code execution

• Detect exposed or improperly configured Redis deployments

• Prioritize remediation for systems reachable from external networks

• Add coverage for Redis environments in continuous network scanning

If you run Redis in production or development environments, this detection helps you quickly assess potential exposure.

👉 Know your Redis exposure

The Website Scanner and API Scanner already display findings while the scan runs. Scan logs now also record the exact moment when a new finding is added directly in the console output.

This provides a more granular, step-by-step view of discovery as the scan progresses.

Why this matters:

• See the precise moment a vulnerability is identified during longer scans

• Correlate findings with specific scan phases or payloads

• Troubleshoot unexpected behavior with additional context

• Gain better traceability in API-driven or automated workflows

For teams running continuous or automated testing, this adds clearer operational insight during the scan itself, not only after it finishes.

You can now filter scan results by tool ID when calling the GET /scans endpoint.

This update allows you to combine tool and start_time filters to return only the scans you care about, making it easier to work with large scan histories and automate downstream workflows.

Use this to:
• Build tool-specific dashboards
• Generate targeted reports
• Reduce post-processing in API consumers

👉 See the updated API documentation 👈

We’ve improved the detection accuracy of active detectors in the Website Vulnerability Scanner to surface more real issues with less noise.

This update adds coverage for:
• CSRF bypass via POST/PUT to GET conversion
• Insecure CORS configurations caused by subdomain trust
• Serialized object detection in JSON payloads to flag potential deserialization risks

These improvements help reduce false positives and provide clearer signals during validation and triage.

Sniper now includes an exploit module for CVE-2025-11833, an account takeover vulnerability in the WordPress SMTP Plugin.

This allows you to validate impact directly by demonstrating account takeover when the vulnerability is present, helping turn detection into clear, actionable evidence.

🫤 We know the last thing you want to deal with on Dec 31st is a new vulnerability. But MongoBleed (CVE-2025-14847) isn't waiting for the ball to drop.

Our team already updated the Pentest-Tools.com Network Scanner to detect this information disclosure flaw that's currently letting unauthenticated attackers leak MongoDB server info.

Whether you’re on-call or just checking in, we’ve made it fast to see if your servers are at risk. 🎯 Scan your IPs for CVE-2025-14847, patch it fast, and have a safe New Year!

👉 Get the CVE details 👈

If you spent part of this year juggling “just one more scan,” one more CVE, and one more person asking “so… are we actually exposed?”, you’re not alone.

Security work kept getting broader, louder, and more accountable - and the hardest part often wasn’t finding issues, but making sense of them fast enough to act.

That’s the lens for our 2025 year in review: what your day-to-day looked like when scanning became routine, and when “more findings” stopped helping.

Before we dive into 2026, here is a look at what we achieved together over the last 12 months.

We’ve just added an exclusive exploit for CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell) into Sniper and paired it with Network Scanner detection - available exclusively to Pentest-Tools.com customers.

Why it matters

React2Shell is a critical, unauthenticated, remote code execution (RCE) vector—prime for mass exploitation given the ubiquity of Next.js and React. This release gives you fast detection and zero-guesswork validation in one place.

How to use

Detect with the Network Scanner → validate in Sniper → re-scan to confirm remediation and rule out residual exposure across multiple assets.

We’ve just added an exclusive exploit for CVE-2025-64446 & CVE-2025-58034 (Fortinet FortiWeb) into Sniper and paired it with Network Scanner detection - available exclusively to Pentest-Tools.com customers.

Why it matters

Fortinet FortiWeb is a critical authentication bypass and remote code execution (RCE) vector, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to fully compromise the FortiWeb server and steal confidential information, install ransomware, or pivot to the internal network.

How to use

Detect with the Network Scanner → validate in Sniper → re-scan to confirm remediation and rule out residual exposure across multiple assets.

We’ve improved the Findings experience: grouping now takes the port into account. If the same issue is detected on the same target but on different ports, you’ll see separate entries, so nothing gets merged away by accident.

Why it matters
In real environments, the same vulnerability can show up on multiple exposed services. For example, a misconfiguration on :80 and :8080, or the same TLS issue on several HTTPS ports. Previously, grouping by target + finding could collapse these into one row, which made reporting and remediation tracking messier. With port-aware grouping, each affected service keeps its own finding, evidence, status, and notes, giving you cleaner remediation workflows and more accurate reports.

How to use

Run your scans as usual → open Findings → filter or group duplicates if you want a compact view → edit, verify, or export each port-specific finding separately → re-scan after fixes to confirm every exposed port is clean.
