CVE-2026-58048 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the database management functionality of cPanel & WHM, the hosting control panel developed by WebPros. An authenticated cPanel account holder with access to the MySQL/MariaDB database feature can execute arbitrary database commands with full administrative privileges, rather than being confined to the databases and grants tied to their own account. The CVE record carries a CVSS v4.0 base score of 9.4 (Critical).

Two weeks ago I sat in on a webinar where CyCognito’s founders walked through continuous AI pentesting. The framing stayed with me: the pentest itself has not changed, only who runs each part of it. AI has reached nearly every corner of cybersecurity, and pentesting is no exception. The promise is an agent that probes applications, uncovers flaws scanners miss, and delivers a report before a human tester has finished scoping the engagement.

The July 2026 Apache Traffic Server security release addresses a large batch of vulnerabilities across the proxy core and its plugin ecosystem, disclosed on July 29, 2026 and fixed in versions 9.2.15 and 10.1.4. Published counts of the batch differ. The Apache Traffic Server project describes the release as addressing 34 CVEs, while Belgium’s Centre for Cybersecurity puts the figure at 38 vulnerabilities.
Emerging Threat: (CVE-2026-10818) WPForms Pro Arbitrary File Upload Leading to Remote Code Execution
|
By Igal Zeifman
CVE-2026-10818 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in WPForms Pro, the paid edition of a widely deployed WordPress form builder plugin. It was published on July 25, 2026, with Wordfence as the assigning CNA. The flaw sits in the ajax_chunk_upload_finalize function, which handles the final step of a chunked file upload. File type validation runs after the chunk metadata and the file contents have already been written to disk, and the assembled file is not deleted when that validation fails.

wp2shell is the name given to an unauthenticated remote code execution attack against WordPress core. It is not a single bug. It is a chain of two separately tracked flaws that, combined, let an anonymous attacker run code on a default WordPress installation with no plugins, no valid account, and no user interaction. The first flaw, CVE-2026-63030, is a REST API batch-route confusion issue in WP_REST_Server::serve_batch_request_v1().

-Recent breaches show AI risk is already present in many environments, often entering through suppliers, data flows, and integrations. But awareness alone is not enough. CISOs and security leaders must actively manage the expanded attack surface AI creates. In this session, experts from CyCognito and Panorays help you understand how to identify AI relationships, assess the risks they pose, and remediate vulnerabilities before they lead to an incident. You’ll learn.

Your attack surface has grown, it's now in cloud infrastructure and across subsidiaries and unknown, unmanaged assets are everywhere. How are you finding these? Attackers look for, find and attack these unknown assets and when there are externally exposed risks, sensitive data and critical systems are put in danger. Read now, External Exposure & Attack Surface Management For Dummies.

With the ever-growing volume of cybersecurity alerts and attacks bombarding security teams, more CISOs are taking a hard look at External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platforms to better understand how adversaries get into systems and how to keep them out. It's not surprising that EASM products have captured the industry's attention, as many organizations are seeing growth of their attack surfaces' growth outpace their detection and remediation abilities. Some of the driving causes: digital transformation, the cloud, third-party dependencies, subsidiary sprawl, and more.

Your pen testing team is working hard, but they are facing an operational challenge due to the large number of assets they need to test and the time required to complete each test. As the fundamental approach to penetration testing has not changed much since the first test over 50 years ago, it's worth exploring whether the tool is still sufficient for securing today's IT environment.

CyCognito solves one of the most fundamental business problems in cybersecurity: seeing how attackers view your organization, where they are most likely to break in, what systems and assets are at risk and how you can eliminate the exposure.
Founded by national intelligence agency veterans, CyCognito has a deep understanding of how attackers exploit blind spots and a path of least resistance. Based in Palo Alto, CyCognito serves a number of large enterprises and Fortune 500 organizations, including Colgate-Palmolive, Tesco and many others.
Automated external attack surface management and continuous testing reduces your overall risk:
- Discovery: Proactively uncover exposed external assets — without input or configuration — using attacker reconnaissance approaches.
- Contextualization: Empower your team to know what an asset does, where it’s located, what other assets it connects to, and how attractive it is from that attacker perspective.
- Active Security Testing: Launch security testing across your full inventory of external assets, enabling a new level of visibility into risk and the steps needed to reduce it.
- Prioritization: Automate risk prioritization for external assets to focus your security team’s attention and energy on the 10 to 50 most critical exploited assets that matter the most.
- Remediation Acceleration: Quickly repair exploitable assets and reduce validation time from months to hours to swiftly prevent data breaches.
Discover, test and prioritize all of your web assets and applications.
