# 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

  --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
```

## Target Sources

The tool parses all files from `arkadiyt/bounty-targets-data`:

| File | Platform | Format |
|------|----------|--------|
| `hackerone_data.json` | HackerOne | Structured scopes |
| `bugcrowd_data.json` | Bugcrowd | Target groups |
| `intigriti_data.json` | Intigriti | Endpoints |
| `yeswehack_data.json` | YesWeHack | Web applications |
| `federacy_data.json` | Federacy | Targets |
| `domains.txt` | Aggregated | One domain per line |
| `wildcards.txt` | Aggregated | Wildcard domains |

## Detection Methods

| Technique | Confidence | Method |
|-----------|------------|--------|
| Version range match | High (95%) | Extract PAN-OS version, check against known vulnerable ranges |
| Server header | High (85%) | "PanWeb Server" in Server header |
| X-PANW-* headers | High (80%) | Palo Alto proprietary headers |
| CAS body indicators | High (85-90%) | "Cloud Authentication" / "cas-login" in body |
| Path probing | Medium (60-80%) | HEAD requests to `/php/login.php`, `/global-protect/login.esp` |
| Favicon hash | Medium (80-85%) | mmh3 hash comparison against known PAN-OS favicons |

## 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
