Overview The OpenCart v4.2.0.0 extension installer contains a directory traversal vulnerability. The extension installation process extracts uploaded .zip files then uses the zip entry filenames as filesystem paths, without validating that the resolved path stays inside the intended directory. This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-18412. Description OpenCart is a free, open‑source e‑commerce solution designed to help businesses build and manage online stores. OpenCart extensions are uploaded as zip files with .ocmod.zip extensions. Upon installation, the OpenCart v4.2.0.0 extension installer extracts these zip files, but does not validate that the extracted paths stay inside the intended extraction directory. An attacker can craft a malicious extension containing file path traversal sequences, such as ../ . With this vulnerability, an attacker can write files, such as a PHP web shell, into the webroot directory. Impact If a user with valid admininistrator credentials installs a malicious extension, it could allow a user to remotely execute code with the same privileges that OpenCart has on the target server. This includes the potential creation of a web shell, which could further enable remote execution of system-level commands. The vulnerability was confirmed against version 4.2.0.0, but other 4.x versions of OpenCart may be affected. Solution Unfortunately, OpenCart could not be reached to coordinate this vulnerability, and a patch is not available at the time of this writing. The CERT/CC recommends that OpenCart users update to the latest version and avoid installing extensions from unknown or untrusted sources. Additionally, OpenCart should be configured to run

The Internet isn’t a single lane of traffic. For a long time, the rule of thumb in web security was that bots are bad, while humans are good. Of course, we’re far past this generalization. Humans can be fraudulent, and bots can be helpful at different levels. Site owners actively want some automated traffic to interact with our sites to make the Internet functional and discoverable. To complicate things further, the line between "human" and "bot" is blurring more and more. Now, we have a type of “hybrid” traffic where a single session shifts from human to agentic and back again. (Think of a user browsing a store, and then handing off the checkout process to an automated shopping assistant.) So, how do website owners manage this kind of complexity? What matters here is assessing behaviors . Is this behavior abusive? Malicious? What’s the risk presented here, and can I trust this visitor based on their actions? Solving this requires moving beyond static, point-in-time checks. It requires analyzing continuous behaviors to evaluate Trust. In this post, we’ll share an inside look into the strategy of the Web Integrity & Trust team (covering the bots and fraud problem spaces) around detecting and analyzing good and bad behaviors, providing tools to help site owners tackle emerging challenges in the shifting Agentic Internet. We’ll also share findings around agentic traffic since the launch of Precursor , and a simulation where you can see how your own cursor movements would be assessed as human or bot — plus some exciting launch updates to expect in the near future. Defining Risk and Trust Let’s talk about the distinction between Risk and Trust , the way we discuss it within the teams at Cloudflare who work in bot detection. These are often viewed as polar

Hi everyone, our latest post explores the practical considerations of AI-assisted source code analysis, evaluating the pros and cons of frontier and locally-hosted models while using a variety of harness orchestration designs.

A lot of security problems still begin with someone doing a completely normal thing. Cloning a repo. Answering a call. Leaving a box exposed. Trusting the default. That pretty much covers the mood this week. Old bugs are back, supply chains are getting stranger, and some exploit paths are so short you wonder what was supposed to stop them in the first place. That’s only part of it. Here’s

PerspectiveGraph: Attack-path engine that measures how wrong it is - published calibration (Brier/ECE) against recorded red-team verdicts
I designed and built an engine that computes end-to-end routes from internet exposure to sensitive assets, ranking them by a composite priority that weighs what the route can reach and how exposed the entry point is. What that gives you operationally, so far: * Runtime-confirmed routes (Falco): "this route is being walked right now", not in theory. * KEV on path, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping per hop, with each hop's probability. * Closed-loop verification: before you open a ticket, the engine simulates removing the edge and tells you how many routes actually disappear. * Suppression board with reason, owner and expiry: an accepted route has a name against it, and comes back when the acceptance lapses. * OSCAL export for GRC and NDJSON for SIEM. I'm posting it here for one reason in particular, besides looking for contributors, especially on the calibration side, every engine of this kind emits probabilities without telling you how much to trust them. This one grades itself: it records red-team/BAS verdicts on the routes it surfaced, computes Brier and ECE, and draws the reliability diagram, ending on an explicit verdict (underconfident, overconfident, well-calibrated). That is how I found a real false positive of my own. Using AWS iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy as an oracle, the comparison revealed that the engine had been treating an IAM permission boundary as if it granted permissions. A boundary caps to the intersection and never grants and "bounded" does not mean "safe": a boundary carrying AdministratorAccess does nothing at all. It is not a scanner, nor a CNAPP, and it does not replace either. It is very much under active development, and technical criticism is welcome.

A few years ago I "somehow" (ask me in the comments if you're curious) ended up in cybersec. I used to be just a "generic" software dev, so honestly I never thought Id be working with people who actually helped shape this industry in its very early days. One of them is Tomasz Kojm, founder of Contextal and the guy who decades ago originally created ClamAV being still... at university. No funding, no experience, no company behind it, absolutely no support even from university itself. Just another project for him. Working with people like Tomek is a great experience. Not because you work with a cybersec veteran, but because you learn something you can't learn anywhere else. You start to notice more than you did before. You just become smarter within time - whatever that means. Decades ago when Internet was becoming mainstream, organizations were floooooded with malware. However... nothing was as obvious back then as it may seem today. The biggest challenge wasn't understanding data. It was scale. Imagine processing massive volumes of files and emails manually. Therefore automation became the top priority, and the whole system design had to stay fairly simply: is this email / file malicious? Give me a quick verdict. Yes or No. That's basically it. Now, according to Gartner, worldwide cybersecurity spending in 2026 is expected to reach almost $240B. And let's be honest.. next year it will probably be $260B, then $280B, then $300B etc. We don't need a crystal ball to predict where this is going. But let's stop here. We spend hundreds of billions every year on cybersecurity and still lose billions because of cyberatacks. You read about another ransomware attack, stolen credentials and businesses paralyzed or shut down for months. 2026 - Hasbro - $25M in lost revenue 2026 - Marks & Spencer - £300M reduction in operating profit 2025 - Co-op Group - £206M in lost revenue These are the companies we all know, and which mainstream media like because they convert. But there are thousands of them every year - just different scale and popularity. So here's the question. If organizations spend more money than ever before, why do we still keep loosing? Companies are literally ARMED: endpoint protection, email security, sandboxes, malware scanners, AI... they seem to have everything. And that's the biggest paradox. I don't think cybersecurity nowadays has a detection problem anymore. It has a decision problem! Nowadays, modern data is no longer SIMPLE. Imagine a "simple" PDF can contain embedded objects, scripts, external references, QR codes, even encrypted parts. A single black box verdict often tells you almost nothing. Something that looks malicious doesn't really have to be. Something that looks clean doesn't have to be either. This is where context becomes everything. Automation isn't the problem. Actually I think it's one of the biggest achievements in this industry. Catching generic threats on the fly is priceless but nowadays... security rarely operates in such ideal conditions. I guess most of you have seen VirusTotal showing 1 engine saying "malicious" while another 60+ classify exactly the same sample as clean. So... who's right? You probably won't open Reddit and ask people to make the decision for you ❌ Ive even had samples where every engine completely missed the malicious content. When the verdict isn't obvious, and expect it to happen often. You don't need another detection engine in your stack. You don't need another black box verdict. You need evidence. You need context. Imagine, modern data carries metadata, relationships, execution paths, embedded objects and bahavior signals. None of them invididually proces malicious intent, but together they build context. And context is what helps analysts actually make good decisions. I don't think organizations lose millions because they lacked one more malware verdict. I think they lose millions because they lacked the context needed to make the right decision. We live in a world where nothing is black and white anymore. You need a full picture of your data to understand what's going on and make a good decision. I published my 1st 🥳 article on my blog. If you would like to dive deeper, feel free. I would be grateful. Btw, I will keep writing more stories in the future. I can't promise when because of work and other stuff, but it's something I really enjoy doing. I'm happy to answer any questions or discuss it in the comments.

Serving the most critical missions: Cloudflare for Government achieves FedRAMP Class D (High) Certified status
We believe the Internet must be a force for good, and that it requires a foundation of trust. Nowhere is that trust more critical than in public service. Government agencies are the stewards of a nation’s most sensitive data. They protect national security, critical infrastructure , and the personal information of every citizen. Cloudflare’s mission is to help build a better Internet. A key part of that mission is giving public sector agencies the best technology to stay secure, fast, and reliable. That means meeting the highest possible standards. Today, we are proud to announce a major milestone: Cloudflare for Government has achieved FedRAMP Class D (High) certification status . We are honored to take this step with our sponsoring agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, whose global mission demands the highest level of security. We are also very excited to announce that we are using the new systems we developed for FedRAMP High as the foundation of our commitment to pursuing U.S. Department of Defense Impact Level 4 (DoD IL4) authorization. IL4 is the department’s cybersecurity standard for systems handling controlled, unclassified data. We are confident that bringing our global network to this space will change the pace of innovation in the defense community. What is FedRAMP, and why does being “certified” matter?

AI coding agents store full conversation history as plaintext on endpoints. Open source scanner for the credentials sitting in them.
Every AI coding CLI keeps its conversation history as plaintext JSONL on disk. Claude Code under `~/.claude/projects/`, Codex under `~/.codex/sessions/`. Anything a developer pastes while debugging stays there indefinitely: AWS keys, .env contents, database URLs. This is a credential store that most endpoint policies do not know exists. It is not shell history, it holds full context. Malicious npm and PyPI packages already scan common paths on postinstall. I wrote agentsweep to find and redact it. 201 detection rules, 31 agents supported, fully offline with zero network calls. It redacts values in place while keeping the JSONL byte for byte, and prints the revocation URL per provider so rotation is not guesswork. Limits, stated plainly: it does not undo what the provider already received. If you pasted a key into a cloud agent, that key transited their servers before it hit disk. It removes the local attack vector only. Some agent storage paths are marked experimental and may under-report until confirmed against a real install.

ByteRay researchers have published a blog on a set of vulnerabilities they are calling TrustFall, and the findings land hard for any company that treats the Trusted Execution Environment as the part of a device you do not have to worry about. OP-TEE is the walled-off Secure World that phones, TVs, cars, and industrial gear lean on to guard keys, DRM, and identity, and the whole point of paying for that hardware isolation is the promise that even a compromised operating system cannot reach inside. TrustFall shows that promise was not as solid as buyers assumed. The researchers found several flaws that let the untrusted side reach into or knock over the Secure World, which is exactly the outcome the design exists to prevent. The bugs have since been fixed upstream, so patched builds are available, but the uncomfortable takeaway for vendors is that the vault they were told to trust had a way in, and "it runs in the TEE" is no longer an answer on its own.

Since launching in 2020, Cloudflare Radar has provided one-of-a-kind insight into Internet traffic on a global scale. The open data that Radar publishes from our global network is used by a variety of experts in different domains: human rights advocates, journalists, academic researchers, network operators, and more. Today, as part of Agents Week , Radar is beta-launching a new tool: Radar Researcher. Now, if you want to answer a question with Radar’s data, you can just ask in plain language and get an answer back with real, interactive charts, all built on Cloudflare's developer platform. You no longer need to find the right page, choose the right filters, or read the API documentation to write a query. Why we built Radar Researcher Over the past six years, the Radar team has worked to provide clear, accessible, reliable data visualizations of complex datasets. This is not without its challenges: our user base is vast and ranges from curious novices to technical network experts. Even so, we publish as much insight into the Internet as seen from our network as we can: DNS queries from our public resolver 1.1.1.1 , HTTP traffic from across our global network, network quality data collected from Cloudflare Speed Test , and so much more. We also believe in the power of open, public data, which is why everything you see in Radar’s data visualizations is available via our free API . Every year we make more and more of the Internet visible. But as Rad
As a platform for helping build a better Internet, Cloudflare helps turn ideas into real products and experiences around the world. Across communities and backgrounds, developers build with Cloudflare using the tools they love, shaping what comes next for the Internet while inspiring, collaborating with, and teaching others. The community is where some of Cloudflare’s best moments happen. Students show their friends how to deploy Workers for the first time. Discord users answer questions from other developers via working code samples, instead of links to documentation. Open-source contributors build novel solutions to solve their own problems, then share them with the world. Organizers host events that give builders from all backgrounds the space to start building their dream project. All of these represent a community at its best: people helping other people build. This spirit of community is an exciting and vital part of helping to build the Internet. Those who step up to educate and support others, or to invent, build, or maintain tools shared across the ecosystem, make lasting contributions to the health and potential of the Internet. We want to have their backs. That's why today we’re announcing an improved community program, designed to better support, recognize, and empower the people getting involved, while working with them to shape what comes next. The program has two main tracks: Cloudflare Ambassadors: Bringing Cloudflare to their own communities. Cloudflare Community Engineers: Contributing to open-source projects that improve the Internet. We’re launching a new home for the program where you can learn more and get involved: cloudflare.com/community .

AI Gateway and Workers AI first started as distinct products, but over time, we noticed our users were converging. With AI Gateway, you can proxy requests to any model provider and get built-in observability, logging, access, and security. On Workers AI, we host models on the GPU infrastructure that we manage, exposing an API endpoint you can leverage to access inference-as-a-service. The architecture of these products looks different, but to an end user, it achieves the same goal: connecting you to models with a sophisticated control plane. Today, we're excited to share our plans on how these products converge into one unified path, so you can connect to any model provider (including Workers AI), while managing things like observability, billing, security, and logging from a single control plane. It’s the next step toward some big plans we have — read on to learn what a unified control plane means for the future of model routing. Merging the binding and API We've been hinting at the fact that these products are becoming more unified through our entrypoints: the Workers binding and the REST API. We have an AI binding that you can use to call AI Gateway and Workers AI. There's no concept of a separate AI Gateway and Workers AI binding: it all goes through the same path. We shipped the idea of a “default” gateway a few months ago, so that if you have never set up an AI Gateway before, you could still automatically inherit the AI Gateway observability and logging. Of course, you can still specify your own gateway if you'd like to split up applications into multiple projects. Here's what the binding call looks like, if you are calling Workers AI via AI Gateway: We’ve also announced a single unified REST API — the /ai/ endpoint that allows you to make similar calls to Workers AI via AI Gateway. Doing this allows us to unify the entrypoi

VU#487613: Alinto SOGo v5.12.7 vulnerable to cross-site scripting via malformed ICS calendar invitations
Overview A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Alinto SOGo v5.12.7 allows attackers to achieve remote code execution by embedding malicious SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) objects in ICS (iCalendar) invitations. The vulnerability has been actively exploited in the wild, as confirmed by VirusTotal sightings. Description Alinto SOGo is an open-source webmail and groupware platform for email, calendars, contacts, and shared scheduling. It is primarily used by organizations seeking a self-hosted interface solution for existing mail infrastructure. CVE-2026-8496 The vulnerability exists in SOGo’s handling of ICS files, where the DESCRIPTION field is rendered without proper sanitization or Content Security Policy (CSP) enforcement. When a calendar invite contains an SVG payload, such as <animate onrepeat='...'> , with JavaScript event handlers, the browser executes the script in the context of the SOGo webmail interface. This occurs during normal calendar view rendering (e.g., when a user opens or previews the calendar tab), even without explicit interaction.

A 26-year-old Canadian man once described as one of the most consequential cybercrime threat actors of 2024 has pleaded guilty to computer fraud and conspiracy to hack and extort more than 165 organizations that used the cloud provider Snowflake . Connor Riley Moucka , of Kitchener, Ontario, also admitted to stealing call and text history records of more than 100 million AT&T customers. A surveillance photo of Connor Riley Moucka, a.k.a. “Judische” and “Waifu,” dated Oct 21, 2024, 9 days before Moucka’s arrest. This image was included in an affidavit filed by an investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The U.S. Justice Department said between February and October 2024, Moucka and co-conspirators used stolen login credentials to steal cloud-hosted data belonging to at least 165 customers of a U.S.-based software-as-a-service company. The hackers targeted stolen credentials for Snowflake customer accounts that did not enforce multi-factor authentication, and extorted or attempted to extort a host of well-known companies, including TicketMaster, Lending Tree, Advance Auto Parts and Neiman Marcus. Snowflake responded to the data thefts by increasing password complexity requirements and enforcing multi-factor authentication. Moucka
Most of the cyber incidents landing on our desks these days start with someone believing a lie. It’s not a brilliant piece of code that causes most breaches. A convincing email, a confident phone call, and a fake sense of urgency can make people hand over exactly what the attacker needs. Last week I talked […] The post The risk awareness radar. A superpower every MSP needs to train appeared first on Heimdal Security Blog .
Today, we’re excited to announce a few developer experience improvements to Cloudflare AI Search to make it easy to manage a search solution out of the box. Previously, you had to stitch together components of the Cloudflare primitives (Workers AI, AI Gateway, Vectorize, R2, Browser Run) but now, AI Search can do this automatically, and better. Our goal is to give your agents their own search engine, where they can easily find data to provide better answers for themselves and their humans. We’re also sharing an early preview of pricing for customers of AI Search so you can learn how this scales. We modeled pricing in a way that makes it predictable and scalable: embedding and reranking are free when you use the default models, so no need to worry about predicting token count. In AI Search, users can now: Index a collection of data for your agent: Make structured and unstructured data easily accessible for your agent to build with, from individual files to websites you own. (Today, it must be a zone on your Cloudflare account, but with more ways to verify ownership coming soon.) Skip the sitemap for your websites: Previously, AI Search required that websites have a sitemap to use the website integration. Now you can select the “Discover” parsing option to add a website without a sitemap as a source. Get a single public endpoint for searching across a namespace: When you enable public URLs on your namespace, you can get a /search and /mcp endpoint that can search through multiple instances or websites at once without authentication, so you can share easily with your customers. Put your own custom domain over public endpoints: You can now add your own domains over your public URLs, so you can brand your /search
Over the last year and a half, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the universal standard for how agents interact with external services. But one of the main criticisms of MCP was that the protocol required a stateful connection between Client and Server. This evolved from MCP’s origins and the first STDIO transport, designed for local applications . When MCP Servers went remote, it translated the stateful connection that worked so well locally and transposed it onto web infrastructure. Building a well-behaved MCP Server meant managing request routing to sticky sessions, holding open streams, message replay, and generally more overhead and complexity than a traditional web server. This changes now. The latest MCP 2026-07-28 specification was released last week, together with updated TypeScript, Python, Go, and C# SDKs. MCP is now a fully stateless protocol. The specification, interaction model and SDKs have all been rewritten to leverage this new protocol and simplify usage. This means that MCP servers can now run in just a Worker, no stateful infrastructure needed, and customers benefit from the operational simplicity and reduced cost of less moving parts. A new MCP At Cloudflare, our journey with MCP goes back to the very beginning. In March 2025, we released our McpAgent primitive for building MCP servers with Cloudflare Agents SDK . Two months later, we ran an MCP Demo Day s
Your next customer may not find you through a search engine. Instead, they'll ask an AI assistant: "how do I do X?"; "which option is best for someone like me?"; "just handle it for me" and an agent will find the answer, weigh the options, and act on their behalf. Increasingly, the moment that determines whether a customer chooses you happens inside a model's response — before a human ever sees your homepage. This agentic audience is already here: by our count, fewer than half of all HTML page requests now come from a human . Not all of those machines are agents acting for a person, but that share is growing fast, and answer engines, shopping assistants, and research tools will shape which businesses are found and recommended. Discoverability used to mean ranking on a results page. Now it means being found, read, and confidently recommended by the agents that guide your customers. The old metrics, human clicks and page views, no longer paint the full picture. We spent time talking to site owners who were staring at access logs full of AI bots, completely blind to whether those bots were capable of using their site or recommending their products and services to their users. We heard two main questions: Can agents actually use my site? Am I getting recommended? To help site owners answer these questions, we have integrated our previous work on Agent Readiness into the Cloudflare dashboard, and added our new Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) tool as well. These tools treat agents as a core user base for your site, showing you how an agent will see it, and how often you get recommended. The opportunity is big, and the bar is low, because most sites aren't built fo
Should we build our own browser? This is one of those questions that has come up every few months internally at Cloudflare for years. Unsurprisingly, it’s the kind that triggers long threads with multiple reasons and persuasive arguments on why we should do it. The browser is obviously the most important software we use every day on our computers; it’s arguably the operating system of the Internet. We’re a company on a mission to help build a better Internet — who wouldn’t want to take on the challenge of building a new browser? But we never quite found the balance between the technical difficulty of such an endeavour and the unique problems we’d be solving by doing it. And so, the idea was shelved, over and over again. Until now. Something magical happened: we reached a tipping point where a series of powerful technical advancements in our Developer Platform became a reality, while the advent of AI agents and the demand for a new kind of browser became critical at the same time. Running WebAssembly (Wasm) in Workers is now very mature. Primitives like dynamic workers , SQLite-based Durable Objects , Worker-to-worker RPC , service bindings , higher
Today we are launching a developer preview of WebMCP on Cloudflare. Switch it on and browser agents can start working with your site, with no code and nothing changed at your origin. Cloudflare adds a small bridge to your pages, which registers a set of tools for a visitor’s agent to use. The web was built on the assumption that there is a person on the other end: someone to read the page, click buttons, and fill in the forms. But now more and more visits come from AI agents instead, to an Internet made for humans. The usual approach has been crawlers, which copy content back to a server and, too often, give the original site none of the traffic and little of the credit. There is a better way, and it does not involve scraping. WebMCP is a new browser standard, shipping experimentally in Chrome 146, that shows up in the page as document.modelContext . A site can choose to expose a set of tools for agents running in the browser, meaning agents no longer have to guess their way through a page built for humans. This enables agents to have a different browsing experience from the user and use tokens on tasks, not navigation. The catch: the site has to implement it. Cloudflare has been building both ends of this. BrowserRun , our remote browser, already added WebMCP support, so an agent can discover and call the tools a site exposes. Cloudflare Radar will soon offer WebMCP tools of its own. This preview is about the other side: a way to give any site on Cloudflare those tools with a single switch, and no code. A developer preview of WebMCP on Cloudflare Implementing WebMCP by hand is a small project: design the tools to expose, wire them into your interface, and keep them working as the standard evolves. We wanted it to be simple
At the Black Hat security conference, the AI giant revealed new details about how its agents went rogue, hacked several other companies—and did it all right under the company’s nose.
For nearly two years, researcher Vangelis Stykas has maintained access to North Korean hackers’ servers. His work shows they pulled off intrusions in a shocking number of systems across the globe.

We're honored to announce that Cloudflare is the only vendor that has been recognized as a Visionary in both the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SASE Platforms and the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge reports. To us, this validates our architectural choices and, more importantly, reflects the trust our customers place in us to navigate an increasingly complex security landscape. To every customer who shared feedback with Gartner, discussed your roadmap challenges with our team, and pushed us to build better solutions: thank you. This recognition belongs to you as much as it does to us. The SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and SSE (Security Service Edge) markets are at an inflection point. Many organizations started with the SSE as the “security half” of SASE to tackle their remote work challenges during the pandemic. More recently, SASE has grown more prominent given the rise in return-to-office work mandates. Now, as AI agents, post-quantum threats, and the sprawl of shadow apps reshape enterprise security, organizations need platforms that can adapt at the speed of change, not vendors locked into yesterday's architecture. That’s exactly where Cloudflare One, our agile SASE platform, comes in. The market gap and where SASE is heading next It’s no secret that most SASE vendors haven't adapted to the architectural realities of modern enterprises. In fact, when customers migrate to Cloudflare, we hear some of the exact same challenges time and time again: Fragmented architectures: When SASE platf

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel bridge (net/bridge) Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) implementation. A bridge that is administratively down while kernel STP is enabled, together with a port driven into the LEARNING state, arms periodic STP timers without an IFF\_UP guard. The teardown path taken by dellink never synchronously deletes those timers, so the backing net\_device (which embeds struct net bridge as private data) is freed with a timer list still queued on a per-CPU timer base. The result is a slab use-after-free in the kmalloc-cg-8k cache.
EtherRAT off a The Gentlemen staging server. C2 resolution is the fun part: no hardcoded domains. The sample holds an Ethereum contract address + call selector and pulls the active C2 from the contract via public RPC endpoints. Every operator rotation is a contract write, so the full history is recoverable, five domains here. Tasking has no fixed command set. Any response over ten chars is thrown into a new async function with require, process, Buffer, etc. in scope, so arbitrary JS in the user context.

Intro In 2024 I released the initial version of Pipeleek. At the time the tool was a simple GitLab CI/CD pipeline secrets scanner, not much more. Since then, it has evolved quite a bit: I’ve added support for new CI/CD platforms, integrated the Renovate security research published last year, and built a range of helper commands on top of the scanner. Today it’s time to release version 1.0 of Pipeleek! Features Secret Scanner Platform Additions At its core Pipeleek is still a secrets scanner for exposed credentials in CI/CD pipelines. While many products scan for secrets at the version control level, Pipeleek covers leaked credentials in pipeline logs and artifacts. With version 1, Pipeleek supports the following CI/CD platforms: GitLab GitHub Bitbucket Azure DevOps Gitea CircleCI Jenkins Pentest Helpers
