CVE HUNTING MADE EASY

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

An automated process hunting for CVEs at scale across all WordPress plugins resulted in 14 new CVEs over three afternoons of work. The process involved downloading and cataloging all WordPress plugins, then running Semgrep on any plugins with recent releases and at least one install. Any findings were then manually reviewed and exploits were attempted. A worked example of the process is included at the end of the blog post.
