“Tech giants pay hackers millions to hack them – on purpose.” What once sounded like a risky experiment has now become standard practice in cybersecurity. Bug bounty programs have moved from the fringes into the mainstream because traditional defenses alone can’t keep up with today’s scale and sophistication of attacks.

1.8X, that’s how much cloud vulnerabilities have skyrocketed over the past year, fueled not just by attackers but by the routine tweaks teams make every day. Modern vulnerability scanners were built to find everything that looks risky. They just never learned to tell what actually is. Dashboards lit with thousands of “critical” alerts, endless CSVs, and reports that read like alarm bells on repeat. Yet less than 10 percent of those alerts ever lead to a real exploit.

Snyk empowers organizations to build fast and stay secure. As security and engineering teams scale their use of Snyk across the enterprise, understanding what's happening across your group and organizations becomes critical–from API integrations and user access patterns to policy changes and security events. However, raw audit logs alone can be overwhelming and difficult to interpret. Security leaders need instant visibility into critical events, risk patterns, and user activity.

A newly disclosed vulnerability, CVE-2025-61757, exposes Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) to unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE). The flaw affects OIM versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.1.0 and carries a CVSS 9.8 Critical rating. CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog — meaning active exploitation is confirmed.

Once again, the npm supply chain has been compromised, putting developers relying on these vital open source components at risk. On November 24th, a sophisticated attack that borrows techniques from the Shai-Hulud malware used in the npm hijacking this past September was discovered. This is not an isolated incident. It’s a continuation of an existing campaign that is now abusing CI/CD pipelines, and GitHub automation to spread faster and steal more secrets than before.
