Hoang contributed to the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates repository by developing and maintaining security vulnerability detection templates and advisories. Over four months, Hoang built YAML and Python-based templates to identify high-severity CVEs in platforms like WordPress, Jenkins, Tomcat, and Oracle WebLogic, integrating advanced detection logic such as OAST payloads, session handling, and regex-based matchers. The work included refining exploit payloads in JavaScript, improving code hygiene through linting and formatting, and consolidating CVE advisories for better data quality. Hoang’s engineering approach emphasized maintainability, accuracy, and comprehensive vulnerability coverage, demonstrating depth in security research, template development, and configuration management within the repository.
December 2025 monthly summary for projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates focusing on data quality and vulnerability advisory coverage. Implemented a feature to consolidate CVE advisories for WordPress plugins (Eventin, Keydatas) and Fides Privacy Center, plus Oracle WebLogic vulnerability, and performed related maintenance to improve accuracy and discoverability of advisories. Performed data hygiene tasks (comment updates and line ending normalization) to standardize data formatting across the repository.

2024-11 monthly summary for projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates: Delivered four new Nuclei templates to detect high-severity CVEs, expanded OAST/interactsh-enabled detection, and improved maintainability across templates. Implemented YAML-based templates with robust detection logic for remote code execution and SSRF, including core-specific probing and out-of-band payloads. Added Python-based JMX interaction for Tomcat RCE, enhanced session handling and CSRF token extraction for OsTicket SSRF, and cleaned up code quality with lint fixes and trailing-space removals. Commits reflect creation of new YAMLs and subsequent updates to improve reliability and testability.
