Starting a new research cycle. Need fresh targets with high CVE potential but low existing researcher attention.
The ideal target is a package that:
# Search by category
npm search xml parser
npm search csv parse
npm search template engine
npm search file upload
npm search schema validator
# Check weekly downloads on npmjs.com
# Look for packages with 100K-10M weekly downloads
# Search repos by language and star count
gh search repos "xml parser" --language javascript --stars 500..15000
gh search repos "yaml" --language python --stars 500..10000
gh search repos "template engine" --language javascript --stars 500..15000
gh search repos "archive extract" --language go --stars 500..10000
Search for vulnerable patterns across many repos:
https://grep.app/search?q=new%20Function®exp=false&filter[lang][0]=JavaScript
https://grep.app/search?q=eval%28®exp=false&filter[lang][0]=JavaScript
Check dependency counts -- packages depended on by many other packages have higher impact.
| Category | Vulnerability Classes | Example Packages |
|---|---|---|
| Parsing (XML/CSV/YAML) | Entity expansion, ReDoS, clobbering | fast-xml-parser, csv-parse, js-yaml |
| Validation/Schema | Code injection, ReDoS, proto pollution | ajv, joi, fastest-validator |
| Template Engines | SSTI, code injection | ejs, nunjucks, handlebars, pug |
| Archive/Compression | Zip Slip, decompression bomb, path traversal | adm-zip, decompress, fflate |
| File Handling | Path traversal, symlink attacks | express-fileupload, formidable |
| Deep Merge/Clone | Proto pollution, recursion DoS | deepmerge, rfdc, klona |
| Expression Evaluators | Sandbox escape, code injection | simpleeval, expr-eval, filtrex |
| HTTP Clients | SSRF, header injection, auth leak | got, superagent, needle |
| Serialization | Clobbering, code injection, recursion | flatted, superjson, msgpackr |
| URL/Path Utilities | SSRF bypass, path traversal | url-parse, normalize-url |
For each candidate:
Write a brief for each approved target:
# Target Brief: [package-name]
- **GitHub**: [URL]
- **Stars**: [count]
- **Weekly Downloads**: [count]
- **Last Commit**: [date]
- **Language**: [JS/Python/Go/etc.]
## Attack Surface
- [What untrusted input does it process?]
## Existing CVEs
- [none / list with CVE IDs]
## Bug Bounty
- [yes/no + link]
## Top 3 Vectors
1. [Most likely vulnerability class + why]
2. [Second most likely]
3. [Third most likely]
## Why Promising
[1-2 sentences on why this target is worth investigating]
Generate polished, human-sounding vulnerability disclosure reports for GHSA, HackerOne, and email. Auto-selects channel, calculates CVSS, and adapts tone.
Mine GitHub Security Advisories and CVE databases for incomplete fixes, finding variant vulnerabilities in patched code or similar patterns in related packages.
Detect authentication and authorization bypass vulnerabilities including missing auth middleware, JWT algorithm confusion, IDOR, and session fixation.
Detect code injection vulnerabilities in packages that dynamically generate or evaluate code via new Function(), eval(), vm.run*, or template literal interpolation.
Detect OS command injection via shell execution sinks where user-controlled input reaches system commands without proper sanitization.
Cross-pollination multiplier technique: find a vulnerability in one package, then search for the same pattern across all similar packages to multiply findings.
