Automation Is Redefining Pentest Delivery

Pentesting remains one of the most effective ways to identify real-world security weaknesses before adversaries do. But as the threat landscape has evolved, the way we deliver pentest results hasn't kept pace. Most organizations still rely on traditional reporting methods—static PDFs, emailed documents, and spreadsheet-based tracking. The problem? These outdated workflows introduce delays,

GHSA-p72g-pv48-7w9x: Apache Tika XXE Vulnerability via Crafted XFA File Inside a PDF

Critical XXE in Apache Tika (tika-parser-pdf-module) in Apache Tika 1.13 through and including 3.2.1 on all platforms allows an attacker to carry out XML External Entity injection via a crafted XFA file inside of a PDF. An attacker may be able to read sensitive data or trigger malicious requests to internal resources or third-party servers. Note that the tika-parser-pdf-module is used as a dependency in several Tika packages including at least: tika-parsers-standard-modules, tika-parsers-standard-package, tika-app, tika-grpc and tika-server-standard. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.2, which fixes this issue.

GHSA-mv33-9f6j-pfmc: Directus allows unauthenticated file upload and file modification due to lacking input sanitization

## Summary A vulnerability exists in the file update mechanism which allows an unauthenticated actor to modify existing files with arbitrary contents (without changes being applied to the files' database-resident metadata) and / or upload new files, with arbitrary content and extensions, which won't show up in the Directus UI. ## Details Directus exposes the CRUD operations for uploading or handling files under the `/files` route. The endpoint handler is responsible for updating an existing file identified by the provided primary key specified through the `pk` parameter. Primary keys are UUID values such as `/files/927b3abf-fb4b-4c66-bdaa-eb7dc48a51cb`. Here the `filename_disk` value is never sanitized, it's possible to pass a path containing traversal sequences (`../`) through it, but a fully arbitrary file write is not possible in case the "local" storage handler is used. (Other storage implementations haven't been checked during the research process). The `packages/storage-drive...
