An unauthenticated attacker who can reach TCP 19009 on a Check Point management server can take it over completely. Bishop Fox reproduced the full root RCE chain on R81.10 and R82.10, breaks down all three vulnerabilities the patch actually closes, and shares a safe detection tool for defenders.
AI got a security consultant 80% of the way through a real web application assessment. The other 20% was where the actual security work happened. This walkthrough shows where AI delivered, where it produced confident but impossible explanations, and why human judgment still drives real findings.
Bishop Fox is releasing Joro, a collaborative web exploitation framework built almost entirely with AI. From intercepting proxy to C2 integration, this post covers how it was built, what it does, and what AI-assisted security tool development actually looks like in practice.
AI agent harnesses are changing how penetration tests get executed. Bishop Fox used MCP agents across external, application, and cloud testing to surface two information leaks totaling over 12 million records in hours rather than days. Here is how the approach works and where it makes sense to use.
A misconfigured cluster join key in JFrog Artifactory's default install lets unauthenticated attackers mint a permanent admin token in one request. Bishop Fox reproduced the full chain, confirmed in-the-wild exploitation, and shares a non-invasive detection check and remediation guidance.
CVE-2026-8452 lets an unauthenticated attacker corrupt memory in Citrix NetScaler's SAML parser with a single request, potentially leading to remote code execution. Bishop Fox breaks down the patch, how to safely verify it across a fleet, and what exploitation actually looks like in the logs.
A single unauthenticated request can kill SolarWinds Serv-U, and the heap corruption underneath it looked like it could be more. Bishop Fox chased three separate roads to remote code execution and hit a wall on every one. Here is what we found, why it matters, and how to detect exposure safely.
Traditional vulnerability management was built for a smaller, slower problem than most teams face today. This post breaks down CTEM, why it exists, how its five stages work, and what it actually takes to move from a reactive pile of findings to a continuous, prioritized risk reduction program.
A CVSS 10.0 path traversal in UniFi Network Application lets unauthenticated attackers read controller backups, extract credentials, and take over every managed device on the network. Bishop Fox breaks down the attack paths, the preconditions, and a safe detection tool to check your exposure.
PCI DSS v4.0.1 made internal penetration testing more complex, bringing cloud infrastructure, SaaS apps, and build pipelines explicitly into scope. Derek Rush breaks down how to scope a compliant IPT, what to test, and what a QSA-ready deliverable actually looks like in practice.
Frontier AI models are raising the ceiling for skilled attackers and lowering the bar for everyone else. Leaders from Vista Equity, Cisco, and Bishop Fox share what that shift looks like in practice, how the existing security stack needs to change, and how long defenders will stay at a disadvantage.
Two critical vulnerabilities in Veeam Service Provider Console chain into unauthenticated remote code execution on the management server sitting above every tenant's backups. Bishop Fox confirmed the full chain end to end, breaks down both root causes, and shares a safe detection tool and IOCs.
Two vulnerabilities in Zilliz Attu 2.6.5 chain into something serious. Missing authentication lets anyone proxy requests unauthenticated, and a regex bypass defeats the private IP block. Bishop Fox turned both into full Kubernetes namespace takeover in a cloud deployment. Update to 3.0.0 now.
AI is raising the ceiling for skilled researchers and flooding bug bounty programs with polished but inaccurate submissions at the same time. Both things are true, and the reconciling variable is the harness built around the model and the expertise of the person driving it.
Sparkplug B is the dominant protocol in ICS and SCADA environments, but no public security fuzzer existed for it until now. Bishop Fox used AI-assisted development to build one from scratch, covering all 9 message types, 19 data types, and 87+ field paths from the full specification.
Attackers can already find, connect to, and probe your exposed AI agent infrastructure. AIMap gives defenders that same visibility. Built by Bishop Fox, this open-source tool discovers, scores, and tests exposed AI endpoints so you can understand your real attack surface before someone else does.
A hardcoded authentication secret ships with every SolarWinds Access Rights Manager install, and reaching TCP 55555 is enough to hit a .NET deserialization sink. Bishop Fox confirmed SYSTEM-level code execution, breaks down the root cause, and shares a safe detection tool for defenders.
AI just crossed a threshold. Anthropic’s Claude Mythos can discover and chain vulnerabilities at scale—faster than teams can remediate. What does this mean for your security program, your providers, and your ability to keep up before attackers do?
AI agents don’t fit traditional threat models. They act like users, services, and data pipelines at once. Learn why STRIDE alone falls short, how MAESTRO fills the gaps, and why modern AI systems must be treated as insider threats.
AI-assisted research is flooding the CVE pipeline with bugs that score critical but depend on configurations almost nobody runs. Bishop Fox tested four high-profile Nginx CVEs in the lab, measured real-world prevalence, and explains how to separate actual risk from well-marketed noise.
Bishop Fox discovered a privilege escalation vulnerability in Python for Windows affecting versions 3.11.0a3 through 3.15.0b2. A low-privilege user can plant malicious files and wait for a privileged account to run the interpreter, inheriting that account's elevated access. Patches are available.
Bishop Fox built a vulnerable MCP-based customer support tool and turned it into a security challenge. Explore how AI agents interact with tools, escalate privileges, and expose sensitive data. If you work with AI systems, this CTF shows exactly how these architectures fail in the real world.
AI agents connected to too many tools don't just create risk, they've already caused real damage. From deleted databases to mass-wiped mailboxes, excessive agency has a track record. This post breaks down what it looks like in practice and how role-aware tool registration can help contain it.
