Securly Chrome Extension version 3.0.7 downloads config.json over HTTP and compiles server-provided pattern strings into JavaScript regular expressions using new RegExp() without validating regex complexity. Because the configuration is retrieved over an unauthenticated and unencrypted channel, an on-path attacker can tamper with the response and inject crafted regular expression patterns designed to trigger catastrophic backtracking during evaluation. This creates a regular expression denial of service condition in the extension that can affect browsing activity broadly.

This repository is a small Python proof-of-concept demonstrating an unsigned printer firmware update vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-8888. It contains two executable scripts: malicious_update_server.py, which starts a simple HTTP server on 0.0.0.0:80 and returns a static attacker-controlled firmware blob, and printer_firmware_server.py, which simulates a vulnerable printer by downloading firmware from http://updates.printer.local/firmware.bin and saving it to /tmp/firmware.bin without any signature verification. The exploit capability is straightforward: if an attacker can redirect the victim printer's update request via DNS spoofing, host manipulation, or MITM, they can supply arbitrary firmware. The code does not include a real post-exploitation implant; the payload is a placeholder string, so this is best characterized as an operational PoC rather than a weaponized exploit. Repository structure is minimal: LICENSE, README.md with vulnerability description and usage steps, and the two Python scripts implementing the attacker server and vulnerable client simulation.
