PROFILE
Patrick Webster
Contributed to the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates repository by developing four targeted security scanning templates over four months, focusing on vulnerability detection and information disclosure. Leveraging YAML and regex-based parsing, the work included templates for Mitel MiCollab UCS version detection, Shibboleth SSO open redirect identification, Odoo website information disclosure, and Full Path Disclosure in WordPress plugins. Each template was designed to improve scan accuracy, asset inventory, and early risk identification, with clear, maintainable commit practices. The approach emphasized robust API testing, explicit HTTP methods, and precise matchers, enhancing the repository’s coverage and supporting security teams in vulnerability assessment and web security.

Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10. Delivered a new security testing template for open redirect detection in Shibboleth SSO within the nuclei-templates repository. The Shibboleth Open Redirect Detection Template targets the /Shibboleth.sso/Logout flow to surface misconfigurations where the return parameter could redirect users to external domains, enabling early vulnerability detection during security testing in CI/CD pipelines. No major bugs fixed in this repo this month. Overall, the work strengthens the platform's ability to catch SSO-related open redirects and misconfigurations, reducing risk of user redirection to malicious sites.
