Research That Produces Receipts
CyberDagger’s Security Research team operates Dagger Forge, an in-house vulnerability research practice. Pipeline, models, and training data all built in-house. The system has produced 225+ findings across 11+ enterprise vendors, including critical flaws in the security tools designed to protect your network.
This is not threat-feed regurgitation. We discover the vulnerabilities ourselves, validate them dynamically, and disclose them coordinated with the affected vendor.
What We Have Published
Published CVEs
CVE-2026-7431 / CVE-2026-7432, Shared-memory ACL flaw and SYSTEM privilege escalation chain in the Ivanti Secure Access Client for Windows. Fixed in 22.8R6. Read the disclosure.
CVE-2026-4837, Remote code execution via Python eval() in Rapid7 Insight Agent for Linux. CVSS 9.2 Critical. Fixed in 4.1.0.2. Read the disclosure.
Active Coordinated Disclosure
Multiple campaigns in progress with VulnCheck CNA across enterprise networking, endpoint security, and IoT firmware. How the pipeline works.
11+ Vendors Tested
Active research across enterprise security products, networking infrastructure, VPN clients, endpoint protection, and IoT firmware. Vendor and product details withheld until each 90-day disclosure window closes. We find vulnerabilities in the products you depend on, before attackers do.
Coordinated Disclosure
Standard 90-day window. Vendor-first. No exploitation beyond proof of concept. Findings published only after the patch is available or the window closes.
How Dagger Forge Works
The pipeline runs four research tracks in parallel against vendor products:
- SOURCE_FUZZ: coverage-guided fuzzing against open-source components and SDKs
- FIRMWARE: extraction, emulation, and binary analysis of router, camera, and IoT firmware
- BINARY_ONLY: reverse engineering of closed-source agents using industry-standard tooling
- SOURCE_SCAN: taint analysis and rule-based scanning of available source
Findings are routed to dynamic validation, then to coordinated disclosure with the vendor and to our CNA partner (VulnCheck) for CVE assignment.
Why This Matters For You
If your stack depends on major enterprise security products, networking equipment, VPN clients, or endpoint protection from any dominant commercial vendor, we may already have unpublished findings in your environment. Engaging us for security research means:
- Pre-disclosure access to findings affecting your products
- Custom research targeted at the specific vendors and product lines you depend on
- Threat intelligence informed by zero-day research, not public CVE feeds
- Reports written to be actionable for both your CISO and your patch-management team
