Reachability shows whether code can execute a vulnerable function. Exploitability asks whether an attacker can satisfy the conditions the bug needs. The article uses lodash .template command injection (CVE-…
Hacktron published a vendor blog post comparing its AI pentesting platform against XBOW and Aikido, using the benchmark target from a Doyensec head-to-head report (sponsored by Aikido). Doyensec scanned the open-source projects Fider and Photoview at $4,000 per repo per platform. The author ran Hacktron on Fider v0.33.0, at an estimated c…
