Emerging Threat: CVE-2025-41115 - Critical SCIM Privilege Escalation in Grafana Enterprise

CVE-2025-41115 is a critical privilege escalation and user-impersonation vulnerability in Grafana Enterprise. The issue occurs within the SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) provisioning feature. When SCIM is enabled, Grafana incorrectly maps the externalId field supplied by a SCIM client to an internal user.uid.

CVE-2025-9501: Identifying High-Risk WordPress Instances Using W3 Total Cache

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.

What's New in CyCognito: October 2025 Platform Enhancements

Emerging Threat: Django SQL Injection Vulnerability (CVE-2025-64459)

CVE-2025-64459 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the Django web framework’s ORM. It affects Django 5.1 versions earlier than 5.1.14, Django 4.2 versions earlier than 4.2.26, and Django 5.2 versions earlier than 5.2.8. Earlier, unsupported series such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x were not evaluated and may also be affected, which makes legacy deployments especially risky.

Why External Exposure Management Must Be at the Core of Your Security Operations

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.

Emerging Threat: CVE-2025-64095 - Critical Unauthenticated File Upload Vulnerability in DNN (DotNetNuke)

CVE-2025-64095 is a critical unauthenticated file-upload vulnerability affecting DNN (DotNetNuke) versions prior to 10.1.1. The flaw exists in the platform’s default HTML editor provider, where upload validation and authorization checks were insufficient. Attackers can upload files and overwrite existing content without credentials, enabling page defacement, malicious script injection, and in some environments stored cross-site scripting (XSS).

Let's be blunt, External Attack Surface Management (EASM) has run its course. It's now all about External Exposure Management (EEM).

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.

Emerging Threat: Apache Tomcat Vulnerability CVE-2025-55752

CVE-2025-55752 is a path traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. It comes from a regression introduced during a past bug fix. Because of this flaw, Tomcat normalizes URLs before decoding them, which lets attackers craft requests that bypass access controls and reach restricted directories like /WEB-INF/ and /META-INF/. In deployments where HTTP PUT is enabled, an attacker could upload files through this path and potentially gain remote code execution (RCE).

Exposed, Misconfigured and Forgotten: The Triple Threat of External Risk (and how to fix with Cloudflare and IONIX)

If popular TV and movies are to be believed, hackers break into organizations from dark rooms using flashy zero-day exploits (complete with some sort of showy animation), all while techno music blares in the background, culminating in the oh-so-cool announce of “I’m in!” This… is not reality. The unglamorous truth is that breaches usually stem from a series of small mistakes in unremarkable things: A system that was overlooked when implementing a new policy.

CVE-2025-20333: Authenticated RCE in Cisco ASA / FTD VPN Web Server

A high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 9.9) has been disclosed in the VPN web server component of Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and FTD software. An authenticated attacker (i.e. one possessing valid VPN credentials) can send specially crafted HTTP(S) requests that bypass input validation and lead to remote code execution as root. This means full device compromise is possible.
