PROFILE
Matthew Kienow
Matthew Kienow contributed to the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates repository by developing and enhancing security detection templates and metadata management features over a four-month period. He built YAML-driven templates for detecting exposed panels, such as the Barracuda Message Archiver and Flock Safety camera admin interfaces, expanding automated network discovery and monitoring coverage. Matthew also authored a detailed security advisory for SolarWinds Web Help Desk, documenting CVE-2025-40536 and providing actionable remediation guidance. His work included enriching vulnerability tracking with CVE, CWE, and CVSS metadata, demonstrating skills in YAML configuration, vulnerability assessment, and metadata management to improve risk assessment and template reliability.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates. Delivered a new Barracuda Message Archiver panel detection template to extend monitoring coverage for archiver appliances. The template defines the panel’s ID, author, severity, and purpose, and includes HTTP request checks for a 200 status and body content that confirms the Barracuda Message Archiver is present. Change is captured in a single commit that adds the exposed panel.
