ED 26-01 | Mitigating F5 Device Vulnerabilities with Network Digital Twin Technology

Learn how Forward Enterprise enables federal agencies to rapidly respond to CISA Emergency Directive 26-01 through comprehensive network visibility, automated inventory, and continuous compliance verification.

Why We Built Evo - From My Heart

I’ve spent my career building and defending. I’ve seen the beauty of innovation and the brutality of cyber warfare. I’ve sat shoulder-to-shoulder with security engineers and platform teams in the trenches at 3AM responding to state-backed attacks where context and speed meant survival. In those moments, one truth becomes painfully clear: With AI, that gap just became a chasm. Agentic AI didn’t bend the rules of software — it rewrote them. Code now evolves in real time.

From Domain User to SYSTEM: Analyzing the NTLM LDAP Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2025-54918)

In September 2025, a critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-54918) was discovered affecting Domain Controllers running LDAP or LDAPS services. This vulnerability allows attackers to elevate privileges from a standard domain user to SYSTEM level access, potentially compromising entire Active Directory environments.

Under The Light: ExPRT.AI

n this episode of Under the Light, we take a closer look at ExPRT.AI—CrowdStrike’s approach to vulnerability prioritization that cuts through the noise. You’ll see how ExPRT.AI moves beyond static scoring models like CVSS, EPSS, and KEV by asking a better question: Will this vulnerability actually be exploited? We’ll break down: The three signals attackers rely on—and so does ExPRT.AI What makes a vulnerability worth their time A real-world story from Intermex that shows what this looks like in action And how all of it comes to life inside the Falcon platform.

CWE vs CVE vs KEV: Untangling the Security Alphabet Soup

Understanding the differences between CWE, CVE, and KEV is critical for modern security and network teams. These acronyms represent the building blocks of threat identification and response, yet many professionals don’t fully grasp how they differ or interact. This blog breaks them down, shows their relationships, and explains how Forward Networks helps correlate them across your environment.

Yet Another SMB-Related CVE

CISA has just added a new CVE regarding SMB, with a very high CVSS rating. CVE-2025-33073 is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) vulnerability in the Windows SMB client caused by improper access control (CWE-284). An authenticated attacker can exploit it over the network to gain elevated privileges. Microsoft has issued guidance on how it should be patched and CalCom recommend this be done immediately.

CVE-2025-6515 Prompt Hijacking Attack - How Session Hijacking Affects MCP Ecosystems

JFrog Security Research recently discovered and disclosed multiple CVEs in oatpp-mcp – the Oat++ framework’s implementation of Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. Among these, CVE-2025-6515 stood out due to its potential threat of hijacking MCP session IDs. Within the context of MCP we’ve dubbed this new attack technique “Prompt Hijacking“.

Two Tools, One Strategy: Pairing Vulnerability Scanning and Pen Testing for Maximum Protection

Penetration Testing and Managed Vulnerability Scanning (MVS) are often mentioned in the same breath, yet their true value emerges when they are combined. Each plays a distinct role in building a strong Offensive Security program, and together they form a powerful foundation for reducing risk and improving resilience. However, it is common for those not fully immersed in cybersecurity practices to either confuse or conflate these two practices.
