I'm really happy with the challenges I managed to create this year! It would be too long to list everything, so here's a little teaser below 👇

1/2

I'm happy to release the first version of my DOMLogger++ plugin for @caido.io! 🔎

It improves the browser extension in several ways:
• Persistent, per-project storage
• Temporary session recording
• AI support
• Stack trace reconstitution
• ...

👉 github.com/kevin-mizu/d...

A quick update has been made to DOMLogger++ to add / update a few things. It's not a big deal, but it should allow interesting stuff to be done :)

It should be available on the stores in the coming hours.

Exploiting Web Worker XSS with Blobs Ways to turn XSS in a Web Worker into full XSS, covering known tricks and a new generic exploit using Blob URLs with the Drag and Drop API

My first post for the @ctbbpodcast.bsky.social Research Lab is live.
Super excited to be part of this team, can't wait to see what crazy research is gonna come from this!

For the @ASIS_CTF, I created a challenge based on an interesting (novel?) DOM Clobbering technique! 🚩

In short, in non-strict mode, HTMLCollection items are not writable. This blocks property assignment, allowing unexpected values to be created 😄

Cookie Chaos: How to bypass __Host and __Secure cookie prefixes Browsers added cookie prefixes to protect your sessions and stop attackers from setting harmful cookies. In this post, you’ll see how to bypass cookie defenses using discrepancies in browser and serve

Small teaser for Caido users :)

DOMLogger++ v1.0.9 is now out and available! 🎉

This update fixes a lot of issues, including the historical DevTools bug on Chromium 🔥

It also brings full Caido session handling, which is going to be useful in the near future! 👀

Exploring the DOMPurify library: Hunting for Misconfigurations (2/2). Tags:Article - Article - Web - mXSS Exploring the DOMPurify library: Hunting for Misconfigurations (2/2)

I was keeping this one for myself for a while, but after several discussions at DefCon I thought it would be nice to share it now :)

Btw! If you wonder how could this be abused, I recommend you looking at: mizu.re/post/explori... 😉

For example, using this configuration, it is possible to retrieve the @masatokinugawa.bsky.social CVEs in TinyMCE.

I've released a DOMLogger++ config that helps detect any replacements occurring in a DOMPurify output by inserting and tracking a canary value at runtime.

I think it highlights how useful DOMLogger++ can be for tracking JS execution :D

This is still v1, there's lots to improve and many gadgets to add.

Each library page includes:

* Affected versions
* A short description
* Root cause of the gadget
* Related links
* Credit to the discoverer
* And even a preview button to play with the gadget live!

The wiki lets you filter gadgets by browser, tags, attributes, CSP, and timing, making it as easy as possible to find interesting vectors (at least I hope so!) 🔎

2/4

I'm happy to release a script gadgets wiki inspired by the work of @slekies, @kkotowicz, and @sirdarckcat in their Black Hat USA 2017 talk! 🔥

The goal is to provide quick access to gadgets that help bypass HTML sanitizers and CSPs 👇

Finding Freedom, One Bug at a Time: My Journey from Pentester to Full-Time Hunter After seven years in pentesting, I transitioned full-time into bug bounty hunting, leveraging deep experience and continuous learning. This article shares key moments and insights from that journey.

Today was my last day as a pentester at Bsecure. After a three-year journey of hunting on the side, I’m ready to go all-in as a full-time bug bounty hunter. You can read about my journey from pentester to full-time hunter here: gelu.chat/posts/from-p...

I've released my CTF bot template! :D

It's not a big deal, but it comes with a heavily hardened Docker setup. The bot also sends a lot of debugging information over the TCP socket (console logs, navigation), which makes remote debugging much easier! 🔎

Making the Unexploitable Exploitable with X-Mixed-Replace on Firefox - The Spanner In this post, we’ll look at an interesting difference in how Firefox and Chrome handle the multipart/x-mixed-replace content type. While Chrome treats it as an image, Firefox renders it as HTML - some...

Firefox treats multipart/x-mixed-replace like HTML. Chrome doesn’t.
That tiny difference? It can turn a "non-exploitable" XSS into a real one.
Abuse boundary handling, bypass filters, and make your payload land.

This year again, with @bi.tk, we've made the Web challenges 🚩

The CTF is solo and lasts 10 days, if you have some time, please give it a look 😁

Btw, even if you're not doing Web challenges, there are 100+ challenges in various categories, you should find something you like!

SAML roulette: the hacker always wins Introduction In this post, we’ll show precisely how to chain round-trip attacks and namespace confusion to achieve unauthenticated admin access on GitLab Enterprise by exploiting the ruby-saml library

You might have noticed that the recent SAML writeups omit some crucial details. In "SAML roulette: the hacker always wins", we share everything you need to know for a complete unauthenticated exploit on ruby-saml, using GitLab as a case-study.

For this challenge, it was necessary to abuse a discrepancy between the DOM and the rendered page in Firefox's cache handling 💽

This allows to shift iframe rendering from one to another leading to a sandbox bypass 🔥
