WRITEUPS. CVES. NOTES.
NO NOISE.

Consul Template's writeToFile helper opened an operator-supplied destination directly and followed linked path components, allowing rendered output to escape the intended directory and overwrite a preexisting file.

Consul Template validated where a symlink pointed during template evaluation, but its later dependency fetch read the original path. Retargeting the link between those operations turned an in-sandbox file reference into an out-of-sandbox file disclosure.

Attacker-controlled MCP server descriptions reached a trusted hover markdown surface in VS Code, which preserved `command:` links and let a click trigger built-in product actions.

Admin-only terminal bootstrap routes checked only for login state, which let a normal team member drive Coolify's realtime terminal backend and execute commands on team servers.

A local package installation helper trusted caller-supplied package names too much. In yeoman-environment, missing generators could be installed without user confirmation, turning attacker-controlled project metadata into a package-install and code-execution path.

Plane’s V2 asset subsystem trusted workspace slugs and asset UUIDs without enforcing the right membership checks, which let one authenticated user read, copy, delete, and overwrite assets in other workspaces.

Penpot's remote image import let an authenticated file editor turn a normal media convenience feature into backend-origin SSRF because attacker-controlled URLs crossed into a redirect-following server fetch path without destination filtering.

The SSRF filter checked hostname text, but the actual destination was decided later by DNS. That gap let attacker-controlled Webhook URLs reach loopback, metadata, and private network targets.

A public shared-base link in NocoDB inherited member-management permissions, which let an anonymous share session enumerate members, invite arbitrary users into the base, and convert temporary link access into durable authenticated membership.

Docmost accepted a javascript: URL inside an attachment node, preserved it through storage and rendering, and turned it back into a clickable anchor in the Docmost origin.

A low-privileged Docmost user could supply a victim attachmentId to the generic upload endpoint and overwrite another page's stored attachment inside the same workspace.

A public share looked clean in the page tree, but the search endpoint told a different story. In Docmost, restricted child pages hidden from public share viewers could still leak through public share search results.

A stolen session did not die when the password changed. In listmonk, previously issued authenticated sessions remained valid after both password reset and password change, turning credential recovery into incomplete recovery.

Malformed DER with truncated length fields was accepted instead of rejected, and that let untrusted input reach an internal exception path during key parsing.

The title field is reflected as raw HTML, a weird built-in callback gadget turns malformed markup into JavaScript, and the admin bot hands over the flag through a readable same-origin cookie.

A profiling tool turned command-line metadata into executable HTML because one attacker-controlled field crossed into a browser sink without escaping.

User-controlled filename becomes arbitrary file write, trusted cached JS gets replaced, admin bot executes it, and the flag gets exfiltrated.

HTTP Trust Boundary Analyzer - replay requests, mutate headers safely, and quantify response influence.

How I approached eJPT, what the exam really tests, domain-by-domain breakdown, and what you should actually focus on.

One JSON key becomes multiple JS parameters → values run out → ES6 default param executes.

How I prepared for NSE 4 & NSE 5 using Fortinet material + Student Guide, what actually matters, and what you should focus on.

Authentication bypass via MongoDB NoSQL injection chained with XML content-type filter bypass to land stored XSS, executed by admin to exfiltrate cookies containing the flag.
