It’s become pretty standard to expect the help of AI with automating tasks, with penetration testing being no exception. As AI-driven tools grow more sophisticated, some have posed the question: could these systems render the traditional human pen tester obsolete entirely? We’ll explore the strengths and limitations of AI when it comes to offensive security and predict the role human red team expertise still has to play in an increasingly automated world.

Over 2,200 cyberattacks hit businesses every day. Most exploiting known but unpatched vulnerabilities. These blind spots are why the average cost of a breach has climbed to $4.88 million, impacting not just finances but trust, compliance, and operations. One of the biggest signs you need a penetration test is the presence of undetected vulnerabilities lurking in your systems, despite existing security controls. Pen testing helps uncover these hidden risks before attackers do..

CVE-2024-7348, which was discovered by Noah Misch, is a race condition vulnerability affecting multiple versions of PostgreSQL when using the `pg_dump` utility. An attacker with sufficient privileges can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands with the permission of the user, which is typically a superuser, running the dump.

Vulnerability attacks often exploit gaps in outdated software, weak access controls, and user behavior. From remote login to enterprise VPNs, entry points vary, but risk is constant.
