A critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability has been disclosed in n8n, a popular open-source workflow automation platform widely used to orchestrate business processes, SaaS integrations, and internal automation pipelines. Tracked as CVE-2025-68613, the vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.9 (Critical) and allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system-level code on vulnerable n8n instances.

Remediation coordination often fails because security teams are dealing with unowned assets and resources. In this hands-on demo, Seemplicity Exposure Management Strategist Rob Babb shows how ownership gaps create blind spots, stall remediation, and slow exposure reduction across teams. The walkthrough highlights how remediation orchestration establishes accountability, improves visibility, and enables automation for exposure remediation across cloud, application, and infrastructure environments.

A critical code injection vulnerability has been identified in Apache Commons Text, a widely used Java library for text processing and interpolation. Tracked as CVE-2025-46295, the vulnerability carries a CVSS v3 score of 9.8 (Critical) and affects all versions of the library prior to 1.10.0. The vulnerability has an EPSS score of 0.253%, indicating a low short-term probability of exploitation.

The rapid adoption of AI agents for development is creating a critical security gap. We are moving from predictable logic, deterministic code paths, and human-driven workflows to non-deterministic agents that reason, plan, and act autonomously using large language models across the broader software development lifecycle. As enterprises adopt these autonomous AI agents, the core challenge isn’t just the new risks and attack vectors; it’s a loss of runtime control.

If you’re an IT MSP, vulnerability assessment has grown from a river to a flood over the last couple of years. In 2020, there were 18,000 recorded common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). By 2024, that number had more than doubled, eclipsing 40,000. And 2025 is showing no signs of reversing the trend. The rise of vulnerabilities means that manual vulnerability assessment is no longer possible.
