CVE-2026-9586 shows how a mundane coding mistake in Sangoma’s Switchvox platform exposed thousands of businesses that never patch their phone systems.
-
A critical GitLab GraphQL vulnerability let unauthenticated attackers delete public repositories, and researchers saw real exploitation attempts within two days of the patch shipping.

Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) is a genuinely useful framework buried under heavy marketing. Here’s what it actually requires, and where a dashboard alone falls short.

A practical walkthrough of external attack surface management: how discovery actually works, how it feeds into vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, and how to do it without enterprise tooling.
-
A PaperCut vulnerability chain let attackers bypass login and run code on print servers, and the vendor needed a second emergency patch after the first one was bypassed.

CVE-2026-21962 scores a perfect 10 on the CVSS scale and has been under active, automated attack since January. Here’s what it does and how to check if you’re exposed.

A shrinking red number on a scanner dashboard is not vulnerability management. Here is what the process actually requires, and NCSC’s own patch deadlines.

The critical NetScaler authentication bypass, CVE-2026-19490, was routine to fix. The pattern behind it, of gateway appliances patched on a normal cycle, is the real risk.
