An unauthenticated SQL injection in Drupal core’s database abstraction API lets a remote attacker execute arbitrary SQL against PostgreSQL-backed sites, with a path to full database compromise and, in elevated configurations, remote code execution on the underlying host.
A critical authentication bypass in the peering handshake of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller and Manager lets an unauthenticated remote attacker and issue arbitrary NETCONF commands.
The instinctive reaction to Mythos is: we need to patch faster. That instinct is understandable. It is also exactly the wrong frame. The real question isn’t how many CVEs are in your queue. It’s how many of your exposed assets can actually be exploited right now, by anyone with an API key and an afternoon.
Two malicious axios releases published to npm delivered a RAT dropper that executes silently at install time. Source code, cloud credentials, SSH keys, and pipeline secrets on affected systems should be considered exposed.
The latest GigaOm Radar for Attack Surface Management highlights the shift from inventory to contextual prioritization and actionable validation across 32 vendors. CyCognito was named a Leader for the third year in a row and, for the first time, an Outperformer.
Modern security frameworks often fail by surfacing endless vulnerabilities without context. This blog explores how the CTEM framework’s Validation stage provides “permission to ignore” theoretical risks, allowing teams to focus engineering resources exclusively on confirmed, evidence-based, and exploitable threats.
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.
