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.

CVE-2025-9501 is a critical remote code-execution vulnerability affecting W3 Total Cache versions prior to 2.8.13, a plugin used by more than a million WordPress sites to improve performance and caching. The issue lies in the plugin’s _parse_dynamic_mfunc handler, which can process user-controlled inputs inside dynamic fragments.

Part of our two-part series on the evolution from EASM to EEM. This post explains how External Exposure Management becomes an operational muscle that empowers continuous defense, real-time remediation, and proactive protection. External exposure is now the frontline of cyber defense. These are the assets attackers can reach without authentication, without privilege escalation, and without internal access. That means speed and agility are not luxuries they are non-negotiable.

Part of our two-part series on the evolution from EASM to EEM. This post introduces the core shift from visibility to real-world exposure validation and why the legacy approach to external risk is no longer enough. External Attack Surface Management, or EASM, was once revolutionary. It gave organizations their first real visibility into the sprawling digital footprint created by cloud adoption, remote work, and third-party services. But the threat landscape has evolved. And EASM has not kept up.
