AvatarI am a 15-years-old Threat Intelligence Researcher and Bounty Hunter specializing in the AI/ML and binary fields. In my free time outside of school, I've had the incredible opportunity to identify 22 CVEs, including critical vulnerabilities in state-of-the-art AI/ML projects.
My work includes Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in Transformers, Llama-cpp-python (aka the Llama-Drama RCE), PrivateGPT, PandasAI, and more. Which results direct arbitrary-code execution over an exposed API endpoints, or even loading a seemly harmless model / checkpoint. Through these discoveries, I have earned over $15,000 in bounties, which made me the top-one researcher on the Huntr leaderboard chart :) Beyond AI/ML, I also participate in various Vulnerability Disclosure Programs (VDP) and Bug Bounty Programs (BBP), where my findings have created a significant impact. In the past, I identified and exploited an IDOR vulnerability in a governmental service, which resulted in massive municipal data modification. Additionally, I discovered Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that led to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Evernote and YoudaoNote, allowing arbitrary code execution with just one click on a note. I also uncovered a stored XSS vulnerability in Managebac, enabling the hijacking of high-privileged accounts and GPA modification, which affected over 1,000 schools (including many top-rated IB high schools.) Furthermore, I dedicated over 10 hours per vulnerability to write detailed*, **step-by-step proof-of-concept and discovery-to-exploitation* writeups*, which are hosted on my blog website. My blogs have gained recognition and have been reposted on well-known security platforms such as InfosecWriteups, Checkmarx, Sonatype, Hackread, The Hacker News, MalwareDotNews, Security Week, SecAlerts, and more.*
