Normal Callback call stack showing callback address visible in inspector

Callback Hell: Abusing Callbacks, Tail Calls, and Proxy Frames to Obfuscate the Stack

A walkthrough of klezVirus’ “Callback hell” — a technique that hides callback frames from stack inspectors by combining tail-calls, forward and backward proxy frames, and a chained thread-pool dispatcher, while still recovering the callee’s return value via a MOV [REG], RAX gadget.

Three-stage TREVEX workflow: Test Case Generation, Execution and Leakage Detection, Result Classification

TREVEX: Black-Box CPU Fuzzing Finds FP-DSS, New FPVI Variants, and Zero-at-ret

TREVEX is a post-silicon black-box CPU fuzzer from CISPA designed to discover data-flow transient execution vulnerabilities without needing RTL access, an ISA emulator, or a leakage contract. The framework runs across 20 microarchitectures from Intel, AMD, and Zhaoxin and uncovers a new TEA — Floating Point Divider State Sampling (FP-DSS, CVE-2025-54505) — on AMD Zen and Zen+, a new FPVI variant on AMD that does not need denormal inputs, three instances of Zero-at-ret on Intel, and FPVI on Zhaoxin. The authors weaponise FP-DSS from native code, the Linux kernel, and a Chrome JavaScript exploit.

Primitive Process Injection: APC Tandem cover illustration

APC Tandem: A Primitive-Chaining Process Injection That Slips Past Common EDR Triggers

A walkthrough of “APC Tandem”, a stealth Windows process-injection technique that replaces WriteProcessMemory, CreateRemoteThread and VirtualAllocEx with a chain of less-watched primitives — thread description smuggling, paired GetThreadDescription/RtlMoveMemory APCs, and a Special User APC for execution.
