Why the same models produce different results, and what a self-hosting team inherits. An AppSec engineer can self-host an autonomous pentest agent this weekend. Clone Strix or PentAGI, plug in an API key, and by Monday it is finding vulnerabilities in staging. The code is good, the licence is free, and the models underneath are… Read More »FireCompass AI Agents vs Open-Source Agent Frameworks
As organizations continue to expose authentication and account-recovery flows directly to the public internet, these flows remain some of the highest-value, least-forgiving attack surfaces on the web. A single unparameterized query can turn a login form into a full database read primitive. During a recent bug bounty assessment, this finding was surfaced by FireCompass’s Agentic… Read More »How FireCompass AI Agent Discovered a Critical SQL Injection in an Authentication and Password-Reset Flow
Modern web applications often expose numerous server-side components that invoke operating system utilities to process user requests. While these utilities simplify functionality, they also expand the attack surface when user-controlled input is passed into shell commands or embedded scripting engines without proper validation. During a recent private bug bounty engagement, FireCompass AI Agent autonomously identified… Read More »From Discovery to Initial Access: How FireCompass AI Agent Identified Multiple Remote Code Execution Paths
Most stakeholders treat a domain as a security boundary. It is not. The forest is. This walkthrough traces a single attack chain that started with domain-admin access already held in a child domain and ended with every credential in the environment dumped from the forest root. The pivot that made it possible was one forged… Read More »Attack chain walkthrough: Forest root domain compromise via golden ticket with SID history
