Third-party penetration testing means two different things: testing your own organization through an independent provider, and testing or reviewing testing on a supplier, partner, or acquisition target. This guide focuses on the second use case. It works best as a governed risk process, not a document request, built on clear authorization, risk-based scope, defensible evidence, and contractual follow-up.

I started a blog series to provide free insights into appsec. It’s mainly to breakdown what application security is all about and it’s mainly targeted towards beginners and startups, so take it as you will. I want to teach every one interested in appsec my perspective on it from my experience in big tech. I talked about the semantic problem of authorization last time. In this post, I talk about how you can know what makes an application "hackable" through something called taint analysis with a code example! Hope you all enjoy! Please reach out if you have any questions or would like for me to write on a topic that you’d want to learn more about.

Point it at a host and it does the boring first hour of an investigation for you. What it does in one run: * Collects the evidence (event logs, registry, more) even while files are locked * Builds a timeline and matches it against thousands of detection rules * Scans for known malicious tools on disk * Checks what's connected, what's running, what looks off * Checks IPs and files against threat intel * Spits out a scored report you can hand to someone No API keys required, has its own web interface. There's a demo mode that fakes an incident so you can try it without needing a real machine to investigate. 🔗 [https://github.com/karim852/Kage-DFIR-toolkit](https://github.com/karim852/Kage-DFIR-toolkit) 🖥️ live demo: [https://demo-kumo-kage.vercel.app/demo/kage/index.html](https://demo-kumo-kage.vercel.app/demo/kage/index.html) Feedback and contributions welcome 🙏
ResetSpy - Enumerate user accounts and registered authentication methods via the Microsoft Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) portal
As of August 2026, Microsoft has removed the legacy CAPTCHA from the SSPR flow and replaced it with backend throttling and behaviour-based abuse detection (see [MC1400824](https://mc.merill.net/message/MC1400824)). Microsoft's position is that the backend controls are sufficient to detect and block automated abuse. This change makes it easier to enumerate user accounts and also aids in identifying which additional verification methods are in place (provided they are SSPR enabled). More info in the readme.
Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a previously undocumented Brazilian banking malware operation that delivers a toolkit called KREMLIN. Elastic Security Labs is tracking the activity under the moniker REF9334. Active since at least May 2025, the threat actor has used lures that impersonate a dozen Brazilian banks and install a malicious browser extension on Google Chrome and
According to the information gathered, the attack was a sophisticated blend of technical compromise and social engineering: **Initial Access via Infostealers:** The hacker gained access to government employee accounts using an infostealer. After gaining entry to an employee’s email, they would log in, add a recovery email under their control, begin logging activities, and silently monitor communications. Images from the campaign clearly show correspondence with Revolut was conducted using **‘pec.interno.it’** email addresses, which belong to the Italian Ministry of the Interior. By checking Hudson Rock’s extensive cybercrime database, we identified approximately **300 compromised** **pec.interno.it** **webmail logins** stemming from already infected machines. Based on this intelligence, we assess that it is highly unlikely the hacker actively infected these specific employees themselves. Instead, they likely purchased or utilized existing Infostealer logs containing these credentials, attempting to obfuscate their true method of initial access.
Aegis is currently macOS-first and developer-focused. Install: python3 -m pip install aegis-sandbox aegis init Then follow the setup instructions in the public release repository. It's still early, and the setup isn't as simple as I ultimately want it to be. That's what I'm working on next: workspace management, capability-based permissions, agent identity, task-scoped authority, behavior monitoring, quarantine, safety receipts, and eventually a much simpler one-click experience. If you use AI coding agents, I'd genuinely like you to try Aegis and try to break it. If you find a security bypass, please report it. I'd rather find it now than after someone depends on it.

With artificial intelligence (AI) shrinking the window between vulnerability discovery and exploitation and lowering the barrier to entry for bad actors, new findings from Sysdig show that skilled human operators can move just as swiftly after gaining initial access. In one instance highlighted by the cloud security company, the threat actor pivoted from a vulnerable Marimo notebook to an SSH
Introduction Security teams have gotten pretty good at testing against what can hurt them. Can this EDR agent catch this payload? Will my organization fail the phishing simulation? Does this SIEM rule fire on this particular technique? And, in more mature organizations, this testing happens continuously rather than as a one-off exercise. But no matter how much you validate against these

1Password’s FLAWED report , published on August 6, 2026, gives defenders a misleading picture of AI patching. Its headline says models produced clean fixes only 26% of the time. That figure includes experiments that deliberately instructed agents to apply the wrong fix, along with experiments in which agents could not compile or test their patches. The report risks making defenders less effective by discouraging them from using technology that could help them fix more vulnerabilities. Teams that take its headline at face value may leave repairable vulnerabilities unaddressed. We want our work to help defenders fix more vulnerabilities. This post shares real-world data on human and agent patch quality from our consulting projects and Patch the Planet. We’re also releasing two agent skills: post-patch-validation to help agents test fixes, and review-walkthrough to help engineers review them. How the experiment produces a misleading headline Our review of 1Password’s code and data found four choices that make its 26% clean-fix rate a misleading guide to ordinary patching work. 1 The sample was selected for difficult fixes. The authors chose six vulnerabilities because their fixes were complex. Clean-fix rates ranged from 3% to 60% across those bugs, so

VU#369611: ExLlamaV3 contains Denial of Service vulnerability via insufficient bounds checking on kernel dispatch index
Overview An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory access vulnerability involving unchecked array indexing has been identified in the exllamav3_ext compute unified device architecture ( CUDA ) extension. Successful exploitation can lead to an immediate denial of service or application instability. This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-84286. Description An OOB memory access vulnerability exists in the exllamav3_ext module due to insufficient input validation. When the kernel parameter K is set to 0 in a crafted input, the extension generates a negative array index, resulting in a CUDA illegal memory access.s. The root cause is a missing bounds check in the kernel-table dispatch process. The checkpoint-derived block index ( cbi ) is used to access a fixed 24-entry array without confirming that either K or cbi fall within safe limits. Impact Primary impacts include Denial of Service (DoS) through process crashes and potential unstable execution states within applications utilizing the library. Solution The vendor has addressed this vulnerability in the main repository. Users are advised to update their installations or apply the fix from the merged pull request: https://github.com/turboderp-org/exllamav3/pull/310. Supply chain Downstream projects utilizing this library are indirectly exposed to this vulnerability. According to the ExLlamaV3 Dependency Graph, there are 49 total dependencies currently tracking this repository. Notable downstream projects directly affected by this

I got hit by a fake Cloudflare popup and reverse engineered the malware it dropped. Here's what I found.
A few weeks ago I was browsing and got one of those "Verify you are human" Cloudflare popups. Except it wasn't Cloudflare — it was a ClickFix page that told me to press Win+R and paste a command. I'm on Linux so nothing executed on me, but I grabbed the file and spent time tearing it apart. Here's what's inside. **The file:** `Tourmaline.exe` (~10.8 MB) It's not a typical dropper. It's an Inno Setup 6.7.0 installer (Revision 2, 64-bit offsets — which broke every standard extraction tool I tried including innoextract) that bundles a full Python 3.11 runtime and two stages of obfuscated payload. **Stage 1 — Anti-sandbox time-lock** The first stage is a ~13 line obfuscated Python script with a clever trick: it counts down from 99,999,999 to find an XOR decryption key via brute force. On a sandbox with a 60-second timeout it never finishes. On a real machine it runs in seconds. I cracked it instantly using a known-plaintext attack on the first 4 bytes of the encrypted blob — recovered the key in O(1) without running the loop at all. **Stage 2 — Full Python RAT** Once decrypted, it's a hand-rolled Python backdoor with no external dependencies. Here's what it does: - **DNS tunneling** — all C2 traffic goes out as raw UDP DNS queries directly to `158.94.211.185:53`, disguised as `*.microsoft.com` lookups. Fully custom DNS packet builder, no library used. - **Blockchain dead-drop** — on startup it calls an Ethereum Sepolia smart contract (`0x2d7a04cca0c34005f58393f30ac725e25f19e5f5`) to get the current C2 IP, decrypted locally with a hardcoded ChaCha20 key. I verified this live — the contract returned the active IP. The attacker can update it any time, making IP blocklists useless. - **ECDSA-signed commands** — tasks from the C2 are P-256 signature verified before execution. You can't sinkhole it by intercepting the DNS tunnel. - **Arbitrary Python exec** — whatever the C2 sends back gets `exec()`'d in a persistent namespace. Full remote code execution. - **Persistence** as `TourmalineUpdate` in Task Scheduler, disguised as "Hardware monitoring service." Everything is in my GitHub repo — deobfuscated source, YARA rules, IOCs (JSON + CSV), and a decryption tool that reproduces the key recovery: **https://github.com/v-pun215/Tourmaline** Sample is included as a password-protected zip (`infected`) following the standard for sharing malware samples safely. Happy to answer questions on the methodology, especially the custom Inno Setup Revision 2 format parsing and the known-plaintext bypass.

VU#687587: AOMEI Backupper amwrtdrv.sys local privilege escalation vulnerability allows arbitrary writes to physical disks
Overview An incorrect permissions assignment vulnerability in the amwrtdrv.sys kernel driver, included with AOMEI Backupper 8.4.0, allows an unprivileged local user to perform arbitrary writes to the physical disk. When Secure Boot is disabled, this can be leveraged to execute arbitrary UEFI-level code before the operating system loads. This allows an attacker to bypass OS-level security controls, including HVCI, EDR solutions, and Microsoft Defender. The attack may also enable capture of BitLocker Volume Master Key (VMK) material, depending on the system's BitLocker configuration. Description AOMEI Backupper from AOMEI International Network Limited is designed to provide backup and disaster recovery services. It also helps individuals and businesses to create system images, disk clones, and file backups. AOMEI Backupper is available as a Windows application and can be integrated into enterprise backup workflows or directly used by end users. CVE-2026-12780 : An Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource (CWE-732) vulnerability in the amwrtdrv.sys kernel driver used by AOMEI Backupper 8.4.0 allows an unprivileged local attacker to achieve UEFI-level arbitrary code execution by directly writing to physical disk devices. The driver creates a world-accessible device object without a security descriptor, therefore allowing any user-mode process to open the device and issue unrestricted write requests. Hence, an attacker can modify disk sectors in the pre-partition gap (LBA 34–2047), inject a malicious UEFI payload, and alter the GPT to reference the payload as an EFI System Partition. The payload can then execute during the UEFI Boot Device Selection (BDS) phase, before operating system security mechanisms are loaded. Impact
