  1. WP Google Map Plugin - Three Weak Links, One Critical Chain

    Line 781 says $query_to_run is safe. It isn't. An autonomous pipeline found a CVSS 9.8 unauthenticated SQL injection in WP Google Map Plugin v4.9.1 -- a three-link chain of individually harmless components that, together, give any visitor full database access. Then we kept reading and found the plugin deserializes update-check responses from an external server with maybe_unserialize(). 200,000+ active installs. 35 minutes. $8.97.

  2. CVE-2026-4105: systemd-machined Privilege Escalation - 72 Minutes from Drop to Bypass

    CVE-2026-4105 dropped this morning - local privilege escalation to root on desktop Linux via systemd-machined. Two D-Bus calls, no authentication. We fed it to CVEForge before the advisory was an hour old. Seventy-two minutes later: confirmed exploit, Docker labs for vulnerable and patched builds, and a bypass proving the vendor's fix is incomplete. The analysis agent said the fix was thorough. The bypass agent proved it wrong.

  3. CVE-2026-28391: OpenClaw Command Injection - The Day I Hacked Myself

    CVE-2026-28391 is a CVSS 9.8 command injection in OpenClaw < 2026.2.2, caused by a POSIX vs cmd.exe shell-parsing mismatch. Our own suggestion algorithm ranked it as the most interesting CVEForge target. 8/8 bypass vectors confirmed, code execution verified. This is the story of the day our orchestration layer dispatched a full vulnerability assessment against itself.

  4. CVE-2025-68670 Part 2: From Crash to RCE - The One That Fought Back (and Lost)

    The first post ended with 'not a shell.' This one ends with uid=0(root) - with an asterisk. Ten context windows. A UTF-8 encoding barrier that blocks every libc address. A PLT mapping that lied. A stack alignment problem solved by a NULL pointer and a filename that shouldn't exist. The story of how a pre-auth xrdp overflow became (almost) pure-network RCE - through the most absurd gadget chain we've ever built.

  5. CVE-2025-26866: From Undocumented Binary Protocol to Root Shell - AI Agent Meets Java Deserialization

    CVE-2025-26866 is a Hessian deserialization RCE in Apache HugeGraph PD. Our autonomous exploit pipeline CVEForge - which had completed 56 consecutive CVEs - hit a wall: an undocumented binary protocol, a non-standard serialization format, and a class blacklist blocking every known gadget chain. The agent spent $49 and four hours reverse-engineering SOFABolt, mapping sofa-hessian byte by byte, and finding a JDK-only gadget chain to bypass the blacklist. Then we took over to turn file creation into a proper root shell - navigating JNDI hardening, CC library defenses, and a gadget chain that silently dies on modern JDK. The result: a full Metasploit module.
