Abstract: A verification computing system obtains from a vendor computing device software product version information that identifies a most recent version of a software product available from a software vendor. It is determined that an updated version of the first software product is available that has not been tested by the verification computing system. The verification computing system causes a generation of a first test computing environment that comprises one or more computing hosts or virtual machines. The updated version of the first software product using the first test computing environment is tested. The verification computing system generates information that indicates that the updated version of the first software product failed or passed a test threshold.

Abstract: Obtain a command to download code from a version control system repository server. Responsive to the obtained command, quarantining the code and run a security scan on the code while it is quarantined. Based on an acceptable result of the security scan, release the quarantine and permit download of the code.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automated ad hoc customer premise equipment (CPE) bi-directional vulnerability scanning. A method includes an auto provisioning server receiving CPE information for a designated CPE to initiate a bi-directional vulnerability scan, obtaining telemetry data from a cable modem termination system (CMTS) based on the CPE information, configuring switches to form a virtual local area network channel between a LAN scanner and the designated CPE using the CPE information, provisioning the LAN scanner to obtain a LAN side Internet Protocol (IP) address from the designated CPE, initiating vulnerability scans at a wide area network (WAN) scanner and the LAN scanner using a stored WAN side IP address and a stored LAN side IP address, respectively, and generating a vulnerability scan report based on results from the WAN scanner and the LAN scanner. At least one network device can be configured based on the report.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automated shell discovery and access. The method includes gathering, by a control server, fingerprint data for a target device for which root shell access is required, generating, by a decision tree controller, a decision tree from the gathered fingerprint data, traversing, by the decision tree controller, the decision tree to determine a path to the root shell, reporting, by the decision tree controller to the control server, a found access path, connecting, by the control server to the root shell on the target device, using one or more commands associated with the found access path, and executing, by the control server at an accessed root shell of the target device, privileged commands associated with a task.
