Fake proof-of-concept repositories have been used to deliver malware to the researchers who run them. The trust verdict is our engine's heuristic over the repository (account age, what it ships, how its stars arrived); it is a reason to read the code first, not a finding about its author.

Metasploit1

  1. CVE-2025-33053 Exploit via Malicious .URL File and WebDAV ↗

    This module exploits CVE-2025-33053 by generating a malicious .URL file pointing to a trusted LOLBAS binary with parameters designed to trigger unintended behavior. Optionally, a payload is generated and hosted on a specified WebDAV directory. When the victim opens the shortcut, it will attempt to access the WebDAV path, potentially resulting in remote code execution via a trusted binary.
