Exploit Chain Attack Surface Analyzer

A cloud-based security scanner that maps external, low-privilege vulnerabilities and simulates how they could be chained with local privilege escalations (like CopyFail) to achieve full root takeover. This helps SecOps prioritize patching based on actual exploitability rather than raw CVSS scores.

Differentiation

Existing solutions
Theori AI scanning productUbuntu PPA / Launchpad
Our angle
There is a lack of lightweight, context-aware vulnerability verification tools that safely check for specific configurations (like loaded kernel modules) without requiring users to run dangerous PoC exploit scripts.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “reading the context of security threats and determining applicability to your circumstance is what everyone should be doing first”
  • “Docker containers share the same kernel as the host, right? So updating the kernel on the host should be enough to disable the vulnerability in the containers?”
  • “For those running WSL (Docker Desktop on Windows included), the WSL kernel is affected and not patched yet.”
  • “Now I’m worried about my VM like zimaos, home assistant, and Ubuntu but hopefully they’re alright”
