Tenable spent 30 days running frontier AI models against our own code. It didn’t just find bugs — it proved they’re real, with reproducible exploits. That fundamentally changes code security from ranking potential code defects to a much higher signal focused on the findings that matter. Read on to learn how it reshaped our security team's work, what it cost, and why your program is next.Key takeaways:Now code security starts with proof, not suspicions. Frontier AI instantly builds working exploits and proves which flaws are genuinely dangerous in your source code. Now remediations are confirm…

An additional high-severity flaw recently patched adds pressure for organizations running on-premises deployments.Key TakeawaysCISA confirmed active exploitation of three on-premises SharePoint Server vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-32201, CVE-2026-45659, CVE-2026-56164), used to gain unauthorized access, establish remote code execution, steal IIS machine keys and deploy malware for persistence.Two additional SharePoint Server vulnerabilities disclosed on July 14, 2026, CVE-202…
Written by: Corné de Jong Introduction Mandiant security assessments frequently identify publicly exposed serverless applications that lack authentication, often as a result of specific business requirements. Serverless deployments typically run custom-developed code that incorporates third-party packages, making them targets for a wide range of application-level attacks, including: Local and Remote File Inclusion (LFI/RFI) Command Injection Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can grant an attacker full control over the underlying container instance. Such access can serve as a fo…

Microsoft Corp. today released software updates to plug at least 570 security holes in its Windows operating systems and other software, almost triple the number of vulnerabilities the software giant fixed in its record-smashing Patch Tuesday release last month. Microsoft attributed the burgeoning patch counts to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence.

This month’s release includes three zero-days, two of which were exploited in the wild.Microsoft patched 569 CVEs in its July 2026 Patch Tuesday release, with 56 rated critical, 510 rated as important, and 3 rated as moderate. This marks the largest Patch Tuesday release ever, crushing the previous record of 198 CVEs in June. Last week, Microsoft announced that its multi-model agentic scanning harness (MDASH) is being used to identify vulnerabilities faster and noted that “customers will …
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a postmortem on a data leak in which a contractor published dozens of internal CISA credentials -- including AWS Govcloud keys -- in a public GitHub repository for almost six months before being notified by KrebsOnSecurity. Experts say the gaps identified in the agency's initial response provide important lessons that all security teams should absorb.
Written by: Patrick Whitsell, John McGuiness, Muhammad Umair Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified a sophisticated campaign attributed to UNC6508, a People's Republic of China (PRC)-nexus threat actor, targeting institutions in the North American academic, medical, and military research community. While remaining undetected for over a year, the threat actor compromised externally facing web applications, deployed bespoke malware, pivoted to sensitive internal systems, and abused enterprise administrative tools for covert data exfiltration. The threat actor had broad collectio…
Introduction Mandiant and Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) have identified an active compromise and extortion campaign attributed to UNC6240 (ShinyHunters) targeting Oracle PeopleSoft application infrastructure. The activity was observed between May 27, 2026, and June 9, 2026 and is consistent with the exploitation of CVE-2026-35273, a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVSS 9.8) in the Environment Management component. The exploitation of this vulnerability directly aligns with the observed targeting of Environment Management Hub (PSEMHUB) endpoints. Because this activity p…

Amazon Cognito 1-Click Open Redirection via OAuth Error Handling Abuse Researchers associated with Tenable have discovered a 1-click open redirection technique in Amazon Cognito that can be triggered by abusing the OAuth error-handling mechanism. The vulnerability stems from AWS's OAuth implementation validation sequence: if validation fails due to an unsupported scope, mismatched PKCE parameters, or an unsupported response type, the error handling processes the failure and automatically issues an HTTP redirect to an attacker-controlled redirect_uri. Because the identity platform evaluates th…
Executive Summary Since our February 2026 report on AI-related threat activity, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has continued to track a maturing transition from nascent AI-enabled operations to the industrial-scale application of generative models within adversarial workflows. This report, based on insights derived from Mandiant incident response engagements, Gemini, and GTIG’s proactive research, highlights the dual nature of the current threat environment where AI serves as both a sophisticated engine for adversary operations and a high-value target for attacks. We explore the foll…
On 29 April 2026, a high local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux kernel, tracked as CVE-2026-31431 and named "Copy Fail", was publicly disclosed. The vulnerability affects every mainstream Linux distributions shipping a kernel built since 2017. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been released. As of the date of this advisory, no distribution has shipped a fixed kernel package. The mainline fix was committed on 1 April 2026, but vendor updates are still pending across all major distributions. CERT-EU strongly recommends applying the interim mitigation immediately, prioritising…
Written by: JP Glab, Tufail Ahmed, Josh Kelley, Muhammad Umair Introduction Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) identified a multistage intrusion campaign by a newly tracked threat group, UNC6692, that leveraged persistent social engineering, a custom modular malware suite, and deft pivoting inside the victim’s environment to achieve deep network penetration. As with many other intrusions in recent years, UNC6692 relied heavily on impersonating IT helpdesk employees, convincing their victim to accept a Microsoft Teams chat invitation from an account outside their organization. The UNC6692…
Introduction Advances in AI model-powered exploitation have demonstrated that general-purpose AI models can excel at vulnerability discovery, even without being purpose-built for the task. Eventually, capabilities such as these will be integrated directly into the development cycle, and code will be more difficult to exploit than ever; however, this transition creates a critical window of risk. As we harden existing software with AI, threat actors will use it to discover and exploit novel vulnerabilities. Faced with this scenario, defenders have two critical tasks: hardening the software we u…
On 17 March 2026, Microsoft updated one of its January 2026 security advisories related to a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint.
