Over eight months, contributed to the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates repository by building and refining security auditing templates for cloud environments, including AWS, GCP, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud. Focused on template development, configuration management, and vulnerability detection, the work emphasized code organization, metadata standardization, and automation to improve detection accuracy and maintainability. Leveraged YAML and Bash scripting to implement features such as EKS and GKE auditing, CSP bypass detection, and enhanced S3 public-access checks. Addressed technical debt through template cleanup and naming consistency, while also fixing bugs and reducing false positives, resulting in a more reliable and scalable security scanning framework.
May 2025: Expanded cloud security auditing in projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates with new EKS-focused templates and a refined S3 public-access check. This delivers broader coverage, faster risk identification, and more accurate detections for EKS configurations and S3 bucket policies. Commits demonstrate concrete delivery and maintainability: e053f47bfb699e9e76f2b986517e95bb5c4fdd8f and fd13f638486cee4f0e0c828aa80479270a84802f.

Summary for March 2025: Across two repositories, delivered core features, fixed notable issues, and implemented improvements that boost security coverage and maintainability. Key features delivered this month included naming/template consistency overhaul in nuclei-templates to standardize YAML file names/IDs and align CSP templates, Azure privileged user MFA detection enhancement using Microsoft Graph API for accurate registration data and broader privileged roles, and the new Ingress-Nginx CVE-2025-1974 detection template with comprehensive remediation guidance and Kubernetes-scoped detection logic. In nuclei-templates-labs, a CVE-2025-29927 lab environment was added to illustrate the vulnerability, followed by its removal and a directory restructure moving the CVE label from 'cve' to 'cves', with related updates in README and docker-compose.
