As mentioned in the paper, we discovered an interesting […]
Achieving Persistent Client-Side Attacks with a Single WeChat Message
From White House staff to battlefield journalists, instant messaging (IM) applications are indispensable communication tools for countless individuals. Whether it’s WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, or QQ, they have become the “digital arteries” of modern society, carrying core activities such as social interaction, payments, and office work for billions of users. Their security directly affects personal privacy, financial assets, and even national security.
In fact, security research on IM platforms has been ongoing for years. In 2019, Project Zero disclosed CVE-2019-8641 in iMessage[1], a memory corruption issue. Since iMessage automatically parses rich media content in messages, an attacker could achieve remote code execution by sending a specially crafted file without user interaction, gaining complete control over the target iPhone.

Breaking Out of Restricted Mode: XSS to RCE in Visual Studio Code
In April 2024, I discovered a high-severity vulnerability in Visual Studio Code (VS Code = 1.89.1) that allows attackers to escalate a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) bug into full Remote Code Execution (RCE)—even in Restricted Mode.
The desktop version of Visual Studio Code runs on Electron. Renderer processes are sandboxed and communicate with the main process through Electron’s IPC mechanism.
An XSS vulnerability in the newly-introduced minimal error rendering mode for Jupyter notebooks enables arbitrary JavaScript code to be executed within the vscode-app WebView for the notebook renderer.
[CVE-2025-37752] Two Bytes Of Madness: Pwning The Linux Kernel With A 0x0000 Written 262636 Bytes Out-Of-Bounds
CVE-2025-37752 is an Array-Out-Of-Bounds vulnerability in the Linux network packet scheduler, specifically in the SFQ queuing discipline. An invalid SFQ limit and a series of interactions between SFQ and the TBF Qdisc can lead to a 0x0000 being written approximately 256KB out-of-bounds at a misaligned offset. If properly exploited, this can enable privilege escalation.
Subdomain Enumeration: Creating A Highly Efficient Wordlist By Scanning The Entire Internet: A Case Study (Part 1)
