John Ostrowski (Compass Security) and Manuel Kiesel (Cyllective AG) worked together on CVE-2025-13154, a Lenovo Vantage LPE. Even after Microsoft closed a known primitive, collaboration led to a working PoC. blog.compass-security.com/2026/02/from... #Windows #CVE #SecurityResearch #PrivEsc

This was a really cool and awesome course ❤️! I learned so much in these two days and did a lot of stuff I never did and never heard about before. It was cool when (after some nasty debugging 🫠) the encryption key could finally be sniffed 🤘. Thanks a lot for your training, you guys rock!

Many CI/CD tools promise to keep your dependencies up to date - but if misconfigured, they can expose your organization. From token leaks to MR hijacks, Jan's latest blog post shows how bad configuration can turn a security tool into an attack vector. 🛠️💣 blog.compass-security.com/2025/05/reno...

⚠️ Note: BloodHound doesn't currently have all elements required for a full BadSuccessor audit, namely 'Create msDS-DelegatedManagedServiceAccount', 'Create all child objects', & dMSA nodes. For that, you should run Get-BadSuccessorOUPermissions.ps1 shared in Yuval's blog. (8/9)
