CVE-2026-1731 affects BeyondTrust privileged access deployments, introducing potential risk to internet-facing administrative interfaces. External exposure data shows cross-industry impact, particularly in technology, hospitality, healthcare, and energy sectors, where exposed access management systems may expand attackers’ paths to high-value enterprise infrastructure.
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) shifts security metrics from measuring activity to prioritizing impact. This refocuses reporting on urgent, validated issues and continuous testing coverage. By tracking remediation hours and material exposure reduction, organizations can effectively manage risk without creating unnecessary noise or alert fatigue.
CTEM reframed security around what attackers can actually reach and exploit. But Gartner didn’t provide an execution playbook. This blog breaks down what each stage demands in practice – and the anti-patterns that derail most programs.
SolarWinds disclosed multiple critical vulnerabilities in its Web Help Desk platform that may allow unauthenticated attackers to bypass security controls or execute code remotely. Organizations running exposed instances should patch immediately and assess external exposure to reduce risk.
CVE-2026-24858 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in FortiCloud SSO that can expose internet-facing management interfaces to unauthorized access. This Emerging Threat highlights the risk posed by externally exposed control planes and the importance of continuous external asset visibility.
CVE-2025-15467 is a stack-based buffer overflow in OpenSSL CMS AuthEnvelopedData parsing. A crafted CMS message can corrupt memory before authentication, risking crashes or code execution in exposed services that process untrusted encrypted or signed content from external attackers over networks.
CVE-2026-24061 is a newly assigned vulnerability that may allow remote code execution in externally exposed services due to improper input validation. Limited public details and lack of patches increase uncertainty, making comprehensive external asset visibility critical for effective risk assessment.
CVE-2026-21858, CVE-2025-68613, and CVE-2026-21877 expose critical remote code execution risks in n8n workflow automation. This blog outlines affected assets, available fixes, exploitation status, and recommended actions, and explains how CyCognito helps organizations identify exposed instances and reduce external risk effectively.
CVE-2025-37164 is a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in HPE OneView. Because OneView serves as a privileged infrastructure management platform, successful exploitation can grant attackers broad control over managed systems, increasing the risk of lateral movement and downstream compromise.
CVE-2025-14733 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability that can allow unauthenticated access to protected web applications and APIs. This blog explains affected assets, potential risk, available fixes, recommended actions, and how CyCognito helps organizations identify and reduce exposure.
