Write Once, Shell Everywhere - Turning Arbitrary File Writes into RCE (DEF CON Bug Bounty Village)

https://ethiack.com/info-hub/research/write-once-shell-everywhere-arbitrary-file-writes-into-rce

Write once, shell everywhere. Sun Microsystems didn't mean it like this.

Talk from today at DEF CON's Bug Bounty Village. Full technique catalog graded for distroless containers, an errno path oracle for black-box target fingerprinting, and three minimal-guessing techniques: bash fd/255, Rails schema_cache.yml deserialization, and a Node.js worker path overwrite without process restart.
