Malvuln Project Catalogues 260 Vulnerabilities Found in Malware
2021-06-29 11:38

Malvuln has catalogued hundreds of vulnerabilities discovered in malware, and while the project has yet to actually prove useful to anyone, its developer is not discouraged.

Malvuln, an interesting project of security researcher John Page, catalogues vulnerabilities discovered in malware and provides information on how those vulnerabilities can be exploited.

Since launching the project in early January 2021, Page has discovered more than 260 vulnerabilities across an estimated 105 individual malware families, including trojans, worms, backdoors, droppers, and ransomware.

When asked if any of the vulnerabilities in Malvuln stand out, the researcher named the unauthenticated remote command execution flaws, which he described as "Easy wins."

"Some may not take the project seriously or think it's a waste of time, but I don't care and don't expect anything. If something comes of it, ok, if not, don't care," Page told SecurityWeek via email over the weekend.

All the vulnerabilities catalogued to date were found by Page himself.
