Don't Panic: The Thymeleaf Template Injection That Only Hurts If You Let It (CVE-2026-40478)

The Thymeleaf vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.1 grabs your attention, as it should. But before you call the cavalry and claim this as the new Log4shell, read this first. CVE-2026-40478 is a server-side template injection vulnerability in Thymeleaf. Thymeleaf is a templating engine in Java that is used for server-side webpage rendering. The sandbox that normally prevents arbitrary code execution got bypassed using a tab character. And yes, this can lead to a remote code execution if exploited.

"A Mini Shai-Hulud Has Appeared": Bun-Based Stealer Hits SAP @cap-js and mbt npm Packages

On April 29, 2026, attackers published malicious versions of four npm packages in the SAP development ecosystem: mbt, @cap-js/db-service, @cap-js/sqlite, and @cap-js/postgres. Each compromised release ships a preinstall hook that downloads the Bun JavaScript runtime from GitHub Releases and uses it to execute an ~11.6 MB obfuscated credential stealer.

Emerging Threat: (CVE-2026-3854) GitHub Enterprise Server RCE via Git Push Injection

CVE-2026-3854 is a command injection vulnerability in GitHub Enterprise Server. It lives in the git push pipeline. User-supplied push option values were not properly sanitized before being embedded in an internal service header. The header format used a delimiter that could also appear in user input. A crafted push option containing that delimiter let an attacker inject additional metadata fields. Downstream services treated those fields as trusted internal values.

Beyond the Build: Dynamic Remediation for Malicious Package Versions

In the fast-moving world of software supply chains, the discovery of a malicious version of a popular library often triggers a state of emergency. Traditional security tools take a reactive approach: they scan, they find a match, and they fail the build. But what happens if the malicious version was merged before it was flagged? What if it’s already running in your production containers? Or what if it’s being pulled dynamically across hundreds of different pipelines?

Exploited Before CISA KEV: What 8 Confirmed Cases Reveal

Most vulnerability programs are built to act when risk looks obvious, such as when a vulnerability lands in CISA KEV, a public exploit emerges, or EPSS rises. This approach is rational because it provides a clear, defensible trigger for action. But it often comes with delay: by the time signals are strong enough to drive consensus, the window to get ahead of risk may already be closing.

Vulnerability Prioritization Requires More Than a Score

As AI systems become more capable and increasingly embedded into business operations, security teams are confronting a familiar challenge in a new form: speed without context. Vulnerability discovery is accelerating toward machine scale, while adversaries continue to adapt in real time. In response, the industry has gravitated toward data‑driven scoring models to help determine what deserves attention first.

"Just looking at code and finding vulnerabilities is not going to stop breaches."

CrowdStrike CEO and Founder George Kurtz discusses with Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities why frontier AI models won’t replace cybersecurity platforms: stopping breaches requires proprietary data, real-time decisions, enterprise-grade support and the ability to act in milliseconds.

Cato CTRL Threat Research: New Vulnerabilities in NVIDIA NeMo and Meta PyTorch Enable Full System Compromise

Organizations today manage sprawling digital environments - cloud workloads, remote endpoints, SaaS applications, third-party APIs, and hybrid infrastructure - all of which expand the attack surface at a pace that traditional security programs simply cannot match.

Exposure Prioritization Agent: Demo Drill Down

Vulnerability volume continues to rise, making it difficult for security teams to determine which exposures actually matter. Without clear prioritization, teams are forced to react to volume, often focusing on severity scores instead of real risk. In this demo drill down, we showcase the Exposure Prioritization Agent within Falcon Exposure Management. You’ll see how AI-driven prioritization uses ExPRT.AI, adversary intelligence, and business context to reduce millions of vulnerabilities into a focused set of high-risk exposures.

Defending Critical Infrastructure in a Hyperconnected Society

On April 28, 2025, a massive power outage affected large areas of the Iberian Peninsula and parts of southern France. Traffic lights, elevators, point-of-sale systems, and many mobile phone and internet networks suddenly stopped functioning. Subways and parts of the rail network ground to a halt. Industrial production and numerous service businesses were interrupted for several hours to a full day.

Qinglong task scheduler RCE vulnerabilities exploited in the wild for cryptomining

In early February 2026, users of Qinglong (青龙), a popular open source timed task management platform with over 19,000 GitHub stars, began reporting that their servers were maxing out CPU usage. The cause was a cryptominer binary called.fullgc, deployed through two authentication bypass vulnerabilities that allowed unauthenticated remote code execution. The attacks went largely unnoticed in the English-speaking security community.

Handala Hack Team: Threat Actor Profile

Handala Hack Team, also stylized as Handala_hack, is a hacktivist threat group aligned with pro-Palestinian messaging and Iranian strategic interests. It emerged in December 2023 following the escalation of the Gaza conflict, shortly after the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, presenting itself as a pro-Palestinian hacktivist collective. Its operations closely mirror Iranian state-linked activity and indicate a focus on disruption and psychological impact rather than financial gain.

How Hackers Get In: What Is a Vulnerability? (Containers Explained)

A vulnerability is a weakness in software—and in containerized environments, even one small flaw can open the door. From buggy code to outdated images and misconfigurations, risk can exist at every layer of the stack. And if a vulnerability is already known… attackers often already know how to exploit it. In this video, we break down: Next up: What is a CVE?

Navigating Cyber Essentials v3.3: A Guide to Compliance

On 27 April 2026, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will officially implement Cyber Essentials v3.3, delivered through a new self-assessment question set known as Danzell, which replaces the previous Willow set. The foundational five technical controls remain the bedrock of the scheme, but this latest iteration tightens wording, scoping, and marking criteria in ways that have immediate consequences.

OWASP Defines AI Agent Risk. Behavioral Analytics Detects It

The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications defines the most common AI agent risks, but real attacks unfold across multiple stages of behavior. Behavioral analytics detects those risks by modeling how users, AI agents, and their interactions change over time. By observing deviations across inputs, processing, and outputs, security operations teams can identify insider‑driven and agent‑driven threats that traditional, event‑based detection misses.

You're Not Watching MCPs. Anthropic's Vulnerability Shows Why You Should Be.

Last week, researchers at OX Security published findings that should stop every security leader in their tracks. They discovered a critical vulnerability baked directly into Anthropic's Model Context Protocol SDK, affecting every supported language: Python, TypeScript, Java, and Rust.

From Panic to Playbook: Modernizing ZeroDay Response in AppSec

Why the next Log4Shell will be won or lost in the first 72 hours—and what a modern zero‑day workflow looks like. Every security team remembers where they were when Log4Shell dropped. A quiet Friday afternoon in December 2021 turned into a weekend of war rooms, emergency patches, and executive updates. Years on, the Log4j fallout still shows up in breach reports—a stubborn reminder that zero‑days don’t end when the news cycle does.

If "stdio" is a Vulnerability, So Is "git clone" - Notes on Riding the AI Vulnerability Trend

A developer clones a repository and opens it in VS Code at 10:47 a.m. Before their cursor blinks, six different configuration file formats on disk have a chance to execute shell commands on the host. A.vscode/tasks.json with runOn: folderOpen. A.devcontainer/devcontainer.json with initializeCommand. A post-checkout hook already sitting in.git/hooks/. A postinstall line waiting in package.json for the next dependency install. A.envrc in the project root.

AI Penetration Testing: Protecting LLMs From Cyber Attacks

88% of organizations now regularly use artificial intelligence (AI) in at least one business function. While adoption of AI technologies has accelerated rapidly, security measures often lag. The rush to roll out AI has, in many cases, overshadowed essential testing and safety protocols. This is particularly a worry when AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) become deeply embedded within organizational workflows and systems in a way that most software isn’t.

Claude Mythos Just Killed Exploitability as a Security Signal

The game has changed. For years, security teams used exploitability to decide what to patch first. If a vulnerability had a known exploit, it went to the top of the list. If not, it waited. But with the arrival of next-gen AI models like Claude Mythos, that strategy is officially broken. In this video, we discuss how Claude Mythos has collapsed the barrier to building working exploits. What used to take real skill and significant time can now be weaponized in minutes. When everything is exploitable, exploitability becomes noise.

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilities in Mailcow

Mailcow is a widely used self-hosted and open source email server that hosts everything you'd need to manage mailboxes yourself. To assess its security, we set up a local instance and ran our AI pentesting agents against it. We found three XSS vulnerabilities, including a critical vulnerability that allowed unauthenticated attackers to take over administrator accounts while looking at their logs in the UI. Gaining access to a mailbox can have a serious security impact.

With the gap between patch releases and weaponized exploits shrinking to hours, traditional manual security triage is now obsolete. Organizations must adopt AI-driven automated remediation.

Axios CVE-2026-40175: a critical bug that's... not exploitable

It’s been a chaotic few weeks for Axios. First, a major supply chain attack put the package under scrutiny. Then, just days later, headlines started appearing about a “critical 10/10 vulnerability” that could lead to full cloud compromise. If you’ve read the coverage, you’ve probably seen claims like: That sounds bad. But when you look closely at how this vulnerability actually behaves in real environments, the story changes.

Mythos, MOAK, CTEM and the End of CVE Chasing

A few weeks ago the world was exposed to Mythos, Anthropic's new frontier model and the Project Glasswing announcement that came with it. The reaction across the industry was immediate. Cybersecurity stocks fell sharply. The Treasury Secretary convened an emergency meeting with major bank CEOs. 250 CISOs produced a response playbook over a single weekend. That is not a typical announcement or a PR "leak". That is a reckoning. Then, about a week later, I came across MOAK.

How We're Securing Our Own Supply Chain

Building a supply chain security company comes with an uncomfortable truth: our remediated packages run inside our customers' production environments. A compromise on our end is a compromise on theirs. We take that responsibility seriously. I want to pull back the curtain on how we actually secure our own supply chain - from the code we write, to the artifacts we deliver, to the infrastructure that holds it all together. ‍

Are You Ready for the CVE Avalanche?

What the Anthropic Mythos findings mean for every security team, and the 90-day window you cannot afford to miss. Last week, Anthropic published something that should stop every CISO in their tracks. Its Mythos Preview model, running autonomously, without expert guidance, identified thousands of high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities across major operating systems, browsers, and open-source projects.

Lightboard Lab: Closing the Valley of Visibility in Network Vulnerability Assessment

Network Vulnerability Assessment is often treated as a point-in-time exercise—but real environments don’t stand still. Between long scan cycles, two things are constantly changing: network devices drift as configurations and versions evolve, and the world around them shifts as new vulnerabilities are disclosed.

I Tried 5 Prompt Injection Attacks (Here's What Happened)

In this video, we explore the growing security risk of prompt injection in large language model (LLM) applications. As AI becomes embedded in more products, new vulnerabilities emerge, especially through natural language manipulation. We break down how LLMs work, the importance of system prompts, and demonstrate five real-world prompt injection techniques used to extract sensitive information or bypass safeguards. You’ll see live examples using different models and learn why newer models are more resilient, but still not immune.

Governing Security in the Age of Infinite Signal - From Discovery to Control

Anthropic just open-sourced vulnerability discovery at scale. Now what? A few weeks ago, Anthropic launched Glasswing, a $100 million initiative to use AI to identify vulnerabilities at scale. Around the same time, they introduced Claude Mythos, a system that can autonomously discover and exploit software flaws. I wrote about this trajectory in my previous analysis: AI accelerates discovery, but enterprise trust still depends on deterministic validation, remediation automation, and governance at scale.

What is the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Application Security

Initially published by the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) in 2023, the Top 10 for LLM Application Security list seeks to bridge the gap between traditional application security and the unique threats related to large language models (LLMs). Even where the vulnerabilities listed have the same names, the Top 10 for LLM Application Security focuses on how threat actors can exploit LLMs in new ways and potential remediation strategies that developers can implement.

CVE-2026-0968: The libssh Heap Read That Isn't as Scary as Scanners Say

A missing null check in libssh’s SFTP directory listing code lets a malicious server crash clients, but real-world exploitability is extremely constrained. CVE-2026-0968 is an out-of-bounds heap read in sftp_parse_longname(), triggered when an SFTP client processes a crafted SSH_FXP_NAME response with a malformed longname field. Red Hat, which serves as the CNA (CVE Numbering Authority) for this vulnerability, scored it 3.1 (Low), while Amazon Linux independently scored it 4.2 (Medium).

What Is a PCI ASV Scan? A Guide to PCI DSS Compliance Scanning

“We do not store any credit card data, we outsource it. PCI DSS is not relevant for us.” If you think this way, you are not alone, but it is a misconception. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), is designed to enhance the security of credit card data. It applies to all organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data and sensitive authentication data, or that could affect the security of the environment used for such data.

The vulnerability flood is here. Here's what it means - and how to prepare

We can't control the pace of AI-driven vulnerability discovery, but we can control how fast we respond. Last week, Thomas Ptacek published a piece arguing that vulnerability research is cooked. His thesis: AI agents are about to drown us in a steady stream of validated, exploitable, high-severity vulnerabilities, faster than anyone can patch them. But from where I sit, the more urgent question isn't whether the flood is coming, but whether the infrastructure we depend on can absorb it.

Adobe Reader zero-day vulnerability in active exploitation

On April 7, 2026, a security researcher described an Adobe Reader zero-day vulnerability that has been exploited since at least December 2025. The vulnerability allows threat actors to execute privileged Acrobat APIs via specially crafted malicious PDF files that execute obfuscated JavaScript when opened. Exploitation allows attackers to steal sensitive user and system data and to potentially launch additional attacks and remotely execute code.

The NVD Funding Crisis Was Bigger Than Mythos

Everyone is calling Claude Mythos a watershed moment. I’d like to offer a slightly different take. Not because the capability isn’t real, it is. But if Mythos is the moment that finally convinced your organization that rapid vulnerability discovery is an existential threat, you’ve been watching the wrong thing. We saw this coming. Vulnerability Management has been moving in this direction for years, and we built Nucleus with this trajectory in mind. What surprises me is the surprise.

New Data Shows Why Security Teams Can't Keep Up With AI-Driven Attacks

AI is changing how attacks happen, and how fast they happen. Seemplicity’s 2026 State of Exposure Management report shows why most security teams aren’t struggling to find risk, but to fix it quickly enough. Based on insights from 300 security leaders, it highlights where remediation breaks down, how AI is being used today, and why execution is becoming the real bottleneck.

We promised a future where security doesn’t just “scan” but scales effortlessly with the speed of the AI-driven, agentic world. Today, we are thrilled to announce that we are moving from vision to reality.

You Can't Patch Your Supply Chain So Why Treat It Like a Vulnerability Problem?

For years, vulnerability management has followed a familiar pattern: discover assets, scan for CVEs, prioritize by severity, and remediate what you can. That model works, at least within the boundaries of systems you own. The problem is that most organizations no longer operate within those boundaries. Federal agencies especially depend on a complex ecosystem of SaaS platforms, software vendors, contractors, and open-source components.

How Forward Helps You Respond to CISA Emergency Directive 26-03
