I'm a security researcher specialized in finding critical vulnerabilities in production web applications. My work spans content management systems, finance platforms, SaaS products, and hosting infrastructure — the kind of software that businesses bet their operations on.

I've been assigned multiple CVEs against widely-deployed platforms, ranging from high-severity IDOR chains through GraphQL APIs to CSRF bypasses in security-critical admin workflows. These aren't theoretical — they affected real deployments at scale.

My approach is manual, source-driven testing. I read code, map logic, and find the flaws that automated tools don't catch — broken access controls, authentication bypasses, API authorization gaps, and chained exploits that turn low-severity issues into full data exposure. Every report I submit includes a working proof of concept, CVSS scoring, and actionable remediation.

I work through bug bounty programs and independent research, and I've been ranked among the top-paid researchers on active bounty platforms. If your application handles user data, payments, or access control — I'll find what your pentest missed.

Responsible disclosure. Always.

CVE-2026-28696 High · CVSS 7.5

Craft CMS

IDOR via GraphQL @parseRefs directive — unauthenticated access to sensitive attributes of any element in the CMS, bypassing all authorization checks. Full PII enumeration, server path disclosure, and database query as system user.

CVE-2025-68436 Medium · CVSS 6.5

Craft CMS

Information disclosure via unchecked asset relocation — authenticated users could expose sensitive assets through maliciously crafted requests targeting user profile photos.

CVE-2026-2994 Medium · CVSS 6.8

Concrete CMS

CSRF in Anti-Spam Allowlist Group Configuration — changes saved prior to CSRF token validation, allowing a rogue administrator to manipulate the group_id parameter and bypass security checks.
