PROFILE

Pumpkin

Developed a kernel-level proof-of-concept exploit targeting a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the io_uring subsystem, contributing to the google/security-research repository. The work focused on enabling privilege escalation by overwriting critical kernel structures, with the exploit implemented primarily in C and supported by Python scripting for automation and setup. Integrated v8CTF challenge environments and comprehensive documentation to facilitate hands-on learning and incident response preparation. Emphasized vulnerability research and reverse engineering to map exploitation pathways and inform defensive strategies. The project delivered a complete feature with PoC-ready components, supporting both security research and defense planning within Linux kernel environments over the month.
