I specialise in money-movement vulnerabilities — fund redirection, race conditions, IDOR on money endpoints. The bugs that don’t trip an alarm. They just move the balance.

02 THE MONEY STATE MACHINE

Banks aren’t breached at the login page.
They bleed at the ledger.

Fund redirection

Recipient and payout details mutated mid-flight so money lands in the wrong account.

Transfer race conditions

Concurrent requests that spend one balance twice before the ledger settles.

Idempotency & double-spend

Retried or replayed operations that credit or debit more than once.

Refund & credit abuse

Refund, reversal and promo-credit flows coerced into minting value.

FX rounding & truncation

Sub-unit rounding and conversion skimmed quietly, at scale.

Cross-tenant money IDOR

One account reaching another’s balances, statements or instruments.

KYC & step-up skip

Limits and verification gates bypassed on the money path.

Webhook & callback replay

Forged or replayed settlement events that desync the books.

Every finding proven on the ledger state — not the 200 OK.
03 SAFE NEAR YOUR CORE

How we behave near your systems.

We hold the secret so you can fix it — not so the world can read it.

04 THE ZEND BASELINE · EDITION 2026

A standard you can hold up — and pass.

The same yardstick, every time: a reproducible assessment an institution can display to show its money rails were measured the way an adversary would.

Money state machine

Idempotency · double-spend · refund & credit abuse · FX rounding · KYC-skip.

Authorization

Cross-tenant money IDOR · privilege boundaries · tenant isolation.

Evidence

Every finding proven on the ledger. Attested only to what survives re-test.

ZEND BASELINE VERIFIED CLEAN
