Open security and OffSec projects - Negative PID

Security research is one of the areas where open source has had the deepest and most complex impact. Tools built openly are used to defend critical

Negative PID

🏴‍☠️ One backslash. Full RCE. That's PTT-2025-026 in a nutshell. Discovered by our Pentest-Tools.com team

FuelCMS uses Dwoo to keep PHP code out of templates. Turns out, it forgot about “\”.

Escape the string. Inject the code. Own the server.

CVSSv3 8.8 High or 9.8 Critical if you chain it with our previous FuelCMS finding (PTT-2025-025 - unauthenticated account takeover). No patch coming either. The project's been on fumes for almost 4 years.

Our colleagues Matei "Mal" Bădănoiu and Raul Bledea did the digging. Full PoC and exploit is added here: https://pentest-tools.com/research

Forgot your password? No worries, we attackers can reset even the admin's. 🔑

PTT-2025-030: Matei "Mal" Bădănoiu and Raul Bledea from our team found SQL injection hiding inside the password reset flow of FuelCMS v1.5.2.

The parameters meant to verify your reset token and email? Both injectable.

So a valid reset token becomes a master key to:
🗄️ Dump the entire database
🔑 Reset any account's password, not just yours
✍️ Modify or delete content across the site as the admin

CVSS: 7.7 High. No fix is coming, the FuelCMS master branch hasn't seen a commit in ~4 years. We emailed the vendor. They're as quiet as an unmonitored server at 3am.

Cybercrime looks less like solo chaos and more like organized operations.

That’s the perspective Andra-Larisa Zaharia from Pentest-Tools.com shared with CSO Online: specialized roles, repeatable processes, and trust networks that take years to build.

In these environments, reputation works like currency.

Does your team spend more time debating findings rather than remediating them?

That’s the bottleneck and this is the corkscrew. Here's why.

Our free (and ungated) white paper shows what makes scan results worth acting on:

🔎 Proof - move from “potential” to “proven”
🧪 Reproducibility - steps your team can actually follow
🧩 Context - why this finding matters in your environment
🧼 Clarity - no more decoding cryptic outputs

It also explains how Pentest-Tools.com validates findings across web, network, API, and cloud so teams spend less time re-checking and more time fixing.

Because more is NOT better. Get more arguments for internal debates from here: https://pentest-tools.com/usage/accuracy
