Research & Case Studies

Real-world offensive security assessments. Every engagement follows a rigorous technical flow: Client Context → Vulnerabilities Found → Measurable Risk Reduced.

Featured Case Studies

Real-world offensive security assessments following our rigorous technical methodology.

01. FinTech Core Banking API Penetration Test

FinTech BOLA / JWT API Security
Client Context

A European Digital Neo-Bank processing over €50M+ daily transactions via microservice APIs required a comprehensive pre-audit penetration test before expanding into enterprise banking partnerships.

Vulnerabilities Found

Discovered a critical Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) flaw paired with a JWT Key-Confusion attack on transaction signing endpoints.

POST /api/v2/transfer
{"fromAccount": "USR-1092", "toAccount": "ATTACKER", "amount": 250000} → 200 OK
Risk Reduced

Completely remediated financial logic flaws before public release, protecting 200,000+ accounts and ensuring full EBA compliance.

02. Multi-Cloud & Kubernetes Infrastructure Audit

Cloud & K8s Zero Trust AWS / Azure
Client Context

A global HealthTech platform operating multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters across AWS and Azure housing sensitive Electronic Health Records (EHR).

Vulnerabilities Found

Identified over-privileged IAM Node Instance Profiles enabling cross-tenant cluster traversal, exposed internal etcd ports, and cleartext secrets in environment variables.

kubectl auth can-i --list → FULL ADMIN CLUSTER-ROLE BINDING
Risk Reduced

Enforced granular RBAC, integrated AWS Secrets Manager with short-lived tokens, achieving 100% HIPAA and ISO 27001 data isolation across 50+ clusters.

03. Global E-Commerce Supply Chain & RCE Audit

E-Commerce RCE / Supply Chain CI/CD
Client Context

A global e-commerce operator with a Magento-based platform processing €120M+ annual GMV and CI/CD pipelines deploying to 14 regional data centers.

Vulnerabilities Found

Discovered a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vector via a compromised NPM dependency in the CI/CD pipeline enabling full server takeover via build artifact injection.

npm install [email protected]
→ reverse shell spawned on build server
Risk Reduced

Implemented dependency lockfiles, SBOM scanning, and signed release artifacts — achieving a zero-trust CI/CD pipeline and eliminating supply chain attack surface.
