- [Temenos OFS Field Injection: Revealing a Hidden Financial Attack Vector](https://sparkps.com/temenos-ofs-field-injection-revealing-a-hidden-financial-attack-vector/): During a pentest of an API integrated with Temenos using OFS, I uncovered a previously undocumented attack vector that I call OFS Field Injection. Improperly sanitized user input was inserted directly into OFS request strings, enabling the creation of poisoned transactions and theft of funds with minimal trace.

During an instant payment API pentesting engagement at Spark Professional Services, I encountered an error response seemingly originating from the Temenos (T24) core banking system. With further research and repeated attempts, this […]
- [Intercepting Everything: A PAX PoS Pentest Case Study](https://sparkps.com/intercepting-everything-a-pax-pos-pentest-case-study/): Recently I accepted a pentest engagement at Spark Professional Services for a merchant app running on a PAX Technology Linux-based Point of Sale (PoS). Unlike Android PoS devices, these embedded Linux terminals lack built-in proxy support, so intercepting app traffic requires custom handling. I had a two-day pre-engagement with the device to research and validate techniques, and I’m sharing the results and methodology here. The interception approach I describe works for embedded Linux devices, many IoT targets, and even mobile cases where standard proxying fails. PAX D230 Point of Sale Device What to expect from a Point of Sale? A Point of Sale (PoS) […]
