Contributed to the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates repository by developing a detection template for CVE-2025-23061, targeting NoSQL injection vulnerabilities in Mongoose’s populate() match option. The work involved crafting a YAML-based nuclei template that simulates exploitation through a tailored HTTP request, enabling the detection and potential exfiltration of administrative data. Focused on security testing and vulnerability research, the template expanded coverage for high-severity CVEs, supporting earlier alerts and improved incident response. Leveraged skills in YAML, HTTP request construction, and CVE-driven detection logic to strengthen proactive defenses for users, while maintaining clear Git-based traceability throughout the development process.
