Aditya Security Labs (ASL) is an independent cybersecurity research and product-security initiative founded by Siva Aditya Panuganti, with Ainavilli Swamy Ganesh as co-founder. ASL focuses on vulnerability research, application security, open-source software security, AI and LLM security, mobile application security, and security tooling.
Our approach combines source-code review, analysis of application behaviour, controlled validation, proof-of-concept development, impact assessment, and responsible disclosure. The objective is to provide technically reproducible findings and practical remediation guidance—not just automated scan output.

Severity caution: Do not infer or advertise a CVSS score from the vulnerability category alone. Confirm the score and vector in the official NVD record or vendor advisory before using it in proposals, reports, or marketing material.
The supplied project notes describe the following milestones:
- NIIS / X-Road: Security research and a reported bounty related to the X-Road ecosystem. The supplied notes state that the issue was addressed in version 7.7.1; confirm the relevant advisory and version details before publication.
- Qdrant: Security research and a reported paid bounty relating to a high-severity finding. Consult the official advisory for the final impact and severity.
- ASL V6: Public release of an AI-security assessment and red-teaming project in 2026, according to the supplied notes.
- Responsible disclosure: Research communications and vulnerability reports shared with maintainers through the relevant disclosure channels.
- BSI Germany: An acknowledgment is mentioned in the supplied company notes. Add a direct official acknowledgment link here before presenting it as independently verified.
The lab also reports experience with paid OSS security bounty programs. Any public bounty totals, exact award amounts, CVSS scores, or claims of official recognition should be supported by a public acknowledgment, disclosure page, or permission to disclose.
ASL V6 is an open-source project exploring security assessment for AI applications, LLM pipelines, and agent systems.
Focus areas
- AST-based source-code analysis
- Detection of AI frameworks and potentially unsafe code paths
- Static analysis for unsafe sinks and execution boundaries
- Docker-based isolated runtime validation
- Security automation and structured findings
The supplied project notes describe a goal of reducing noisy findings. Any specific performance figure, such as a percentage reduction in false positives, should be accompanied by reproducible benchmark results and methodology before being treated as a verified metric.
VulnHunt is a vulnerability-research and testing project intended to automate selected parts of the security workflow.
Focus areas
- Reconnaissance and attack-surface organization
- Vulnerability discovery and validation
- Controlled proof-of-concept workflows
- Technical report preparation
- Research workflow automation
Use VulnHunt only against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to assess.
ASL's intended workflow emphasizes authorized scope, reproducibility, clear impact analysis, and responsible disclosure.
- Scope and authorization — Confirm ownership or written permission, rules of engagement, test boundaries, and handling requirements.
- Attack-surface mapping — Identify relevant application components, APIs, authentication flows, dependencies, and trust boundaries.
- Source and behaviour review — Inspect relevant code and application behaviour; form a testable security hypothesis.
- Controlled validation — Reproduce the suspected issue in a safe environment, minimizing access to sensitive data and operational impact.
- Impact assessment — Establish realistic preconditions, affected versions, security boundaries crossed, and limitations.
- Evidence and remediation — Prepare a minimal proof of concept, clear reproduction steps, and practical mitigation guidance.
- Responsible disclosure — Follow the vendor's policy, coordinate timelines appropriately, and share only authorized information.
- Retest — Where permitted, verify the fix and document any remaining risk.

Potential engagement models for organizations and maintainers include:
- Application / API security assessment — Scoped review of application behaviour, authorization, input handling, and common high-impact vulnerability classes.
- Source-code security review — Manual review supported by static-analysis techniques, with findings prioritized by evidence and realistic impact.
- AI / LLM security assessment — Threat modelling and authorized testing of AI application boundaries, agent tools, RAG pipelines, and sensitive-data handling.
- Open-source security collaboration — Repository review, reproducible reports, responsible disclosure, and remediation-oriented collaboration.
- Retesting and remediation support — Follow-up validation of agreed fixes and documentation of residual risk.
Scope, schedule, deliverables, confidentiality, data handling, and pricing should be agreed in writing before any assessment begins. Any stated delivery window depends on scope and availability and should be confirmed in the engagement agreement.
Security work should be conducted under written authorization and clear rules of engagement.
- Agree the scope and permitted test methods before testing begins.
- Use an NDA or confidentiality agreement where appropriate and mutually agreed.
- Define how source code, credentials, logs, and evidence will be accessed, stored, transferred, and deleted.
- Minimize collection of personal or production data.
- Set retention and deletion expectations in the engagement agreement.
- Handle trade secrets and client information according to applicable agreements and laws.
- Align assessment criteria with relevant standards and regulations when applicable.
References to Directive (EU) 2016/943 or the EU AI Act are not, by themselves, a certification or guarantee of compliance. A formal compliance assessment requires a defined scope, applicable legal analysis, and supporting evidence. Avoid describing a service as legally compliant or certified unless that claim has been independently established.
