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.
Our new study looks under the hood of domain-to-IP volatility to understand how modern infrastructure behaves and why it matters for enterprise security operations. Read the research for a deeper look at the mechanics behind changing DNS resolution and what it means for tracking assets and exposure over time.
CyCognito adds the ability to discover externally reachable MCP servers and pull them into your asset inventory and security workflows. Check out this post to learn where MCP security breaks, and how it connects to external exposure management.
