SQL injection isn't dead

Jul 22, 2026 By Dania Durnas In Aikido
Oops! A SQL injection bug just forced an emergency WordPress core patch last week. On July 17, WordPress shipped an emergency release to fix an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw in the core, reachable via a SQL injection that an anonymous attacker can exploit on a stock install. WordPress.org even turned on forced auto-updates because of how severe it is. Searchlight Cyber, who reported it, estimates over 500 million sites run WordPress.

You can't govern what you can't see: Detecting shadow AI on your network

Jul 22, 2026 By Tim Chiu In Corelight
AI adoption inside the enterprise didn't ask for permission. It arrived through browser tabs, code editors, and meeting transcription bots, quietly stitching itself into daily workflows long before security teams could write policy around it. The result is a familiar story with a new villain, a sprawling, unmanaged attack surface that lives in your network traffic but nowhere in your asset inventory. We call it shadow AI, and it's the blind spot you didn't plan for or budget for.

CrowdStrike Falcon Platform Helps Meet U.S. Government Mandates for CISA BOD-26-04

Jul 22, 2026 By Karan Sondhi In CrowdStrike
On June 10, 2026, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued Binding Operational Directive 26-04, which transforms federal vulnerability management by shifting agencies from static CVSS-based patching to a dynamic, risk-based model. This supersedes BOD 19-02 and BOD 22-01. Agencies must now prioritize remediation using four key factors: public asset exposure, KEV catalog status, exploit automatability, and technical impact (partial vs. total control).

Data Discovery vs. Data Classification

Jul 22, 2026 By Cyberhaven In Cyberhaven
Most DLP rollouts stall in the same place. The classifier flags a file as "confidential," but nobody, including the DLP solution itself, can say why, where it came from, or whether that label still matches what's inside the file six months later. Data discovery and data classification get bundled together in nearly every vendor pitch, but they solve different problems, and the gap between them is where false positives, stale labels, and missed exfiltration events live.

Streamline Exposure Management Responses with Atlas

Jul 22, 2026 By Tanium In Tanium
When 115+ new CVEs are released — Firefox, OpenSSL, WolfSSL, and more — figuring out your exposure used to mean hours of manual work: querying the CMDB, pulling reports, chasing tickets. In this video, we show a faster way with Tanium Atlas. We paste in the full list of CVEs and ask one question: are we affected, and can we get a report ready for the board? In under a minute, Atlas returns a full exposure report across thousands of endpoints, prioritized by what needs attention first. A follow-up question generates a remediation plan. The result.
