brace-expansion is a very popular npm package with over 38 billion all-time downloads (yeah, over 38,000,000,000) and used by tooling almost every JavaScript project relies on - eslint, glob, and npm itself. Despite being in the public eye for a while, we found a new Denial-of-Service vulnerability that could affect millions. This post walks through what the package does, existing issues that were fixed, and the new one we found - CVE-2026-13149.

A suite of severe vulnerabilities has been disclosed in libssh2 (an SSH client library widely embedded in software such as curl, Git GUI clients, PHP, backup tools, and many IoT/embedded devices). The most critical, CVE-2026-55200 (CVSS 9.2/9.8), is a memory corruption bug in libssh2’s ssh2_transport_read() triggered by a malicious SSH server pre-authentication via a crafted packet_length.

CVE-2026-48558 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in SimpleHelp Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software, caused by improper validation of OpenID Connect (OIDC) token signatures. When OIDC is configured with group-authenticated login settings, unauthenticated attackers can forge identity tokens to bypass multi-factor authentication and gain privileged technician-level access to vulnerable SimpleHelp servers — without valid credentials.

Automated vulnerability management uses continuous scanning, risk-based prioritization, and orchestrated remediation workflows to identify, assess, and fix security weaknesses with minimal manual intervention.

The browser is the operating environment for modern work — it’s where employees access email, SaaS applications, collaboration tools, HR systems, finance platforms, customer data, developer resources and AI services. All of this activity makes the browser a high-value target for attackers because it sits between users, identities, applications, and sensitive enterprise data.

Kroll’s Offensive Security Team recently discovered a new vulnerability within Microsoft’s Azure Monitor Agent Metrics Extension, which demonstrates how subtle configuration issues can introduce significant security risks in widely deployed infrastructure components.

Modern exposure management has evolved beyond vulnerability scanning and alert volume into a discipline focused on measurable risk reduction. As the exposure management market matures, security leaders are adopting cyber exposure management platforms that unify signals across vulnerability, cloud, application, and attack surface tools to prioritize what truly matters.

We ran 300 vulnerability-finding scans to measure how repeatable an agentic LLM security review is on the same code, prompt, and harness. The headline result is not that one scanner "wins" a self-referential leaderboard. It is that LLM security findings are unevenly repeatable: reference-matched findings were stable, but extra-model reports varied widely from run to run.
