OPENING BRIEF
Operation Erebus extends the Acheron research model through a long-running harness built for low-level attack-surface analysis. Its primary objective is to confirm one critical remote-code-execution zero-day on each of three isolated research fronts.
This page records only information safe for public release. It does not expose active hypotheses, report details or unpatched behavior.
SUCCESSOR TO OP-001 / ACHERONTHREE INDEPENDENT RESEARCH FRONTS.
Ironveil
Pipeline trust / native execution boundaries
Nullcrown
Runtime internals / server execution boundaries
PRIMARY SUCCESS CONDITION
ONE RCE FLAG PER FRONT.
Confirm one critical RCE zero-day on each research front.

PUBLIC SCOPE
RESEARCH SURFACES
- 01Low-level execution boundaries
- 02Runtime and native interfaces
- 03Isolation and trust transitions
- 04Multi-stage attack-chain development
RESEARCH DIRECTIVES
OPERATING RULES
- D-01Require realistic external attacker control before a path advances.
- D-02Prioritize direct code execution and cross-boundary impact.
- D-03Keep unpatched behavior and active hypotheses outside the public record.
- D-04Close weak or non-transferable paths before they consume the operation.

ERB-001
NULLCROWN / CONFIDENTIALITY / INTEGRITYHIGH
Protected response confidentiality and integrity failure
A high-severity issue affecting the confidentiality and integrity of protected responses was reported. Technical details remain restricted during coordinated review.
ERB-002
NULLCROWN / AVAILABILITY / RESOURCE EXHAUSTIONHIGH
Unauthenticated service-wide resource exhaustion
A high-severity availability issue capable of affecting service-wide capacity without authentication was reported. Technical details remain restricted during coordinated review.
ERB-003
NULLCROWN / SERVER COMPROMISE / CROSS-FRAMEWORKCRITICAL
Cross-framework unauthenticated server compromise
A critical issue reachable without authentication could lead to server compromise across multiple framework integrations. The report was marked duplicate, and technical details remain restricted during coordinated disclosure.
Titles describe only the broad impact area without naming affected products or exposing reproduction details.

05
Critical Nullcrown report marked duplicate
A critical report with impact across multiple framework integrations was marked duplicate. The result does not satisfy the Nullcrown RCE objective, which remains open. Technical details remain restricted during coordinated disclosure.
04
Unauthenticated service-wide resource exhaustion reported
The Nullcrown front produced a high-severity availability issue reachable without authentication. Technical details remain restricted during coordinated review.
03
Additional evidence supplied for triage
The program requested more information on the first Nullcrown report, and the requested evidence was supplied the same day.
02
Protected response integrity issue reported
The Nullcrown front produced a high-severity confidentiality and integrity issue. Technical details remain restricted during coordinated review.
01
Operation Erebus opened
Three isolated research fronts entered active analysis under the Erebus harness. Each front carries one primary objective: confirm a critical remote-code-execution zero-day.
PUBLIC OUTCOMES
OBJECTIVES REMAIN OPEN.
