30 Vulnerabilities. 4 Rounds. 0 Mercy.
UPDATE (April 22, 2026): Since this article was published we have continued the work. Current authoritative numbers are 311+ bugs found across 16 audit rounds, and the independent third-party penetration test referenced at the end of this article has been completed and passed with no blocking findings. See NIST Compliance and the Dev Log for the current state. The numbers below reflect the state of the pre-pen-test audit.
We're about to get pen tested by an independent security researcher. Before they even showed up, we decided to hunt every vulnerability we could find ourselves. Not because we had to. Because that's how you build something people can actually trust.
We ran a 4-round automated security audit across every layer of GhostPort — API validation, network hardening, authentication, firewall policy, system scripts, and update integrity. 79 findings identified. 30+ patches applied. Every CRITICAL and HIGH resolved in a single session.
What We Hardened
We're not going to tell you exactly what we fixed or how. That would be handing a roadmap to attackers. But we'll tell you the categories, because they show what "security by design" actually means for a privacy router.
The Process
- Round 1 — Initial scan. Parallel scanning agents swept the entire system. 79 findings across 8 categories. 25 patches applied immediately for the most critical issues.
- Round 2 — Verification. Every patch from Round 1 re-verified. Additional hardening applied to network-level protections that the first round missed.
- Round 3 — Edge cases. System scripts, update pipelines, and boot-time configurations audited. Found and fixed issues in the OTA update process that could have accepted unsigned packages.
- Round 4 — Final sweep. Two remaining HIGH-severity cross-site scripting vectors found in dynamically generated content and eliminated. Firewall forward policy changed to default-deny.
- Result: all CRITICAL and HIGH findings resolved. Remaining items are low-severity, defense-in-depth improvements scheduled for future releases.
Why We're Telling You This
Most companies don't talk about their vulnerabilities. They fix them quietly (if they fix them at all) and hope nobody noticed. We think that's backwards.
If you're buying a privacy router, you should know that the company building it takes security seriously enough to hunt their own bugs before an outside tester does. You should know that when we find problems, we fix them immediately — not in the next quarterly release.
We also launched a bug bounty program. If you find a vulnerability in GhostPort, we want to know about it. Report it responsibly and we'll work out fair compensation. Details at our bug bounty page.
The pen testers came. They passed us — no blocking findings. We continue to publish every audit round in the open, because trust isn't built by hiding weaknesses. It's built by fixing them in the open.
Security isn't a feature. It's the foundation.
