Patrick contributed to the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates repository by developing three targeted security testing templates over three months. He built a Mitel MiCollab UCS version detection template using YAML and regex parsing to improve asset discovery and vulnerability management. For Shibboleth SSO, he created an open redirect detection template that identifies misconfigurations in logout flows, enhancing SSO security coverage. Patrick also delivered an Odoo website information disclosure template, enabling detection of exposed server details in Odoo deployments. His work demonstrated skills in YAML template development, vulnerability assessment, and web security, with a focus on maintainable commits and expanding detection capabilities.
March 2026 monthly summary for projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates: Delivered a new Odoo Website Information Disclosure Detection Template, expanding security scanning coverage to identify exposed server information (installed apps and extensions) in Odoo deployments. This feature was implemented as a YAML template and committed in the nuclei-templates repo. No major bugs fixed this month; the focus was on feature delivery and ensuring clarity and traceability through descriptive commits. Overall impact: enhanced detection capabilities, enabling security teams to reduce information disclosure risk and improve response readiness. Technologies/skills demonstrated: YAML template development, nuclei-templates workflow, security rule design, and maintainable commit practices.

Month: 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.
