About

Currently, I am a student in the Web Security Lab (WebSec Lab) at UNIST (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology). My primary interest lies in the discovery and analysis of security vulnerabilities in web and browser systems through AI techniques.

CVE-2025-62583 —Naver (Whale Browser) —Iframe sandbox escape
CVE-2025-53791 —Microsoft (Edge Browser) —Security feature bypass
CVE-2025-53600 —Naver (Whale Browser) —Same-Origin Policy bypass
CVE-2025-48980 —Brave Software (Brave Browser) —SameSite cookie bypass
Discovered by our USENIX Security 2026 paper, BUIzz: Finding Policy Enforcement Bugs via Interaction Simulation on the Browser User Interface. In Brave Browser Desktop prior to 1.83.10 with the split view feature enabled, the “Open Link in Split View” context menu item did not respect the SameSite cookie attribute, so SameSite=Strict cookies were sent on a cross-site navigation triggered through this user interface path.
CVE-2025-32792 —Endo (Secure ECMAScript) —Lexical scope exposure in SES sandbox
Discovered via Strategy 5 of our IEEE EuroS&P 2026 paper, SandVenture: Escaping JavaScript Sandboxes with Objective-driven Input Generation. Web pages and extensions using ses and the Compartment API to evaluate third-party code in an isolated environment inadvertently expose const, let, and class bindings declared in the top-level scope of a <script> tag to the lexical scope of untrusted third-party code.
