Vulnerability validation using lightweight offensive payloads

Last updated:

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for validating vulnerabilities using lightweight offensive payloads. An attack payload limited by an execution scope that includes pre-defined exploit features for validating code execution associated with a vulnerability is generated. The attack payload is transmitted to a target computing system and a confirmation of the code execution based on at least one pre-defined exploit feature is received, permitting a determination that the vulnerability has been validated.
