Mission Cyber Sentinel – Advancing Global Cybersecurity

Content

As a cybersecurity professional driven to make a lasting impact, I have launched an ambitious initiative, Mission Cyber Sentinel, with the goal of safeguarding 250,000+ online assets worldwide. This mission is rooted in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in widely used open-source projects, fortifying the security of critical systems, and fostering a safer digital ecosystem.

The Mission and Progress: Mission Cyber Sentinel is focused on securing online assets by discovering and reporting vulnerabilities in high-impact open-source applications. For example:

  • In the Vvveb project, an open-source drag-and-drop web development tool, I identified 8 vulnerabilities ranging from low to critical severity. Despite its modest installation base of approximately 100 deployments (source: Builtwith.com), each secured instance contributes toward the mission’s overarching goal of protecting 250,000 online assets.

  • Similarly, in the case of EasyAppointments, a scheduling web application used by over 3,000 websites globally, I uncovered two vulnerabilities. These findings enhance the security of thousands of businesses worldwide. Beyond these examples, I have identified and disclosed vulnerabilities across multiple platforms, collectively securing over 10,000+ online assets to date. These contributions not only protect individual systems but also bolster the overall resilience of the global cybersecurity landscape. As the mission progresses, this number will continue to grow, moving closer to the ultimate goal.


  • How You Can Contribute: Mission Cyber Sentinel invites collaboration with developers and the open-source community.
    If you maintain an open-source project with a deployment base of at least 50 active assets, I am offering free vulnerability assessments. This service is part of the mission to enhance the security of widely adopted tools and platforms.

    What I Need: To ensure comprehensive testing, all I require is access to your project’s source code or a Docker container. My assessments are thorough, precise, and aimed at providing actionable insights to address potential security flaws.

    Join Mission Cyber Sentinel: Together, we can make the internet safer. By securing open-source applications and the online assets they power, we can achieve a significant positive impact on the cybersecurity community. Let’s work together to reach the milestone of protecting 250,000+ online assets.

    If you’re ready to collaborate or have an open-source project that aligns with this vision, reach out and be part of Mission Cyber Sentinel.
