# CVE-2026-0265 Passive Detector v2
> **Defensive reconnaissance & exposure-detection framework for authorized Bug Bounty targets only.**
A modular, plugin-based passive detector that identifies assets potentially affected by **CVE-2026-0265** — a high-severity authentication bypass in **Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS** via Cloud Authentication Service (CAS). Pulls targets directly from [arkadiyt/bounty-targets-data](https://github.com/arkadiyt/bounty-targets-data).
---
## ⚠️ Legal Notice
**AUTHORIZED BUG BOUNTY USE ONLY.** Only scan domains from public bug bounty program scopes. No exploitation, no payloads, no active attacks.

## Installation
```bash
cd cve
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
**Requires Python 3.12+**
## Quick Start
```bash
# Step 1: Clone bounty targets data
python main.py update-targets
# Step 2: Run scan against all bug bounty targets
python main.py scan
# Step 3: Scan specific program only
python main.py scan --program "paloaltonetworks"
# Step 4: Scan specific domains
python main.py scan -d fw.example.com -d vpn.example.com
```
## CLI Commands
### `update-targets` — Clone/update bounty-targets-data
```bash
python main.py update-targets
```
### `scan` — Run passive CVE detection
```bash
python main.py scan [OPTIONS]
Options:
-t, --targets PATH Text file with authorized domains
-d, --domain TEXT Single domain (repeatable)
-p, --program TEXT Filter by program name
-c, --config PATH Config file (default: config.yaml)
--threads INTEGER Override concurrency
--rate-limit INTEGER Override rate limit per host
-o, --output TEXT Output directory
--no-subdomains Skip crt.sh enumeration
--only-live Stop after live host discovery
--tech Show detailed tech fingerprints
--resume Resume interrupted scan
--scan-id TEXT Scan ID for resume
--debug Enable debug logging
--proxy TEXT HTTP proxy URL
--json-only JSON report only
--csv-only CSV report only
--no-sqlite Skip SQLite storage
```
### `import-scope` — Import from platform API
```bash
python main.py import-scope -s hackerone -p program_handle
python main.py import-scope -s bugcrowd -p program_slug
python main.py import-scope -s intigriti -p program_id
```

## Safety Guarantees
- ✅ Passive and non-intrusive only
- ✅ No exploitation or payload delivery
- ✅ No authentication bypass attempts
- ✅ No brute force or fuzzing
- ✅ No shell execution or RCE
- ✅ No destructive requests (HEAD/GET only)
- ✅ Per-host rate limiting (configurable)
- ✅ User confirmation before scanning
- ✅ Only scans public bug bounty scope targets
- ✅ CDN/WAF awareness
## Configuration
See `config.yaml` for all options. Key environment variables:
