OWASP Top 10 LLM Risks Explained
As large language models (LLMs) become more embedded in business operations, the risks and attack methods targeting them are evolving just as quickly. The 2025 edition of the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications reflects this rapid evolution, addressing the current threats facing generative AI systems in production environments. For organizations investing in LLMs, understanding the risks is crucial for deploying these systems securely.
What is vulnerability remediation?
Vulnerability remediation is the process of fixing and validating security flaws in systems, applications, or infrastructure using patches, configuration changes, or compensating controls after they are identified and prioritized.
Exposure Management Explained: How to Go Beyond Vulnerability Scanning
Vulnerability scanning gives security teams a starting point, but it has never been the whole picture. Scan results capture known CVEs across applications and systems, yet they say nothing about whether a given weakness is actually reachable, whether the controls around it are functioning correctly, or whether the people with access to it represent a meaningful risk. Exposure management addresses all of that.
Exposure vs Vulnerability Management: Is There Actually a Difference?
In this exclusive fireside chat, Seemplicity CPO Ravid Circus and SANS instructor Jonathan Risto break down this critical distinction and why mastering it is vital as AI rapidly reshapes the cybersecurity threat landscape. Here’s a summary of what they covered.

In many cases, these tools are delivering genuine operational value.
Reduce CVE noise with OpenVEX assessments in Datadog
Software composition analysis (SCA) tools have become essential in modern security programs. They continuously scan software supply chains and match component fingerprints against Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) databases to surface vulnerabilities in dependencies. SCA tools are effective at scale, but they introduce a persistent challenge: Not every flagged vulnerability actually presents a risk.
Why AI Alone Isn't Improving Vulnerability Remediation
AI is widely used in exposure management, but most implementations stop at prioritization and analysis. While AI improves visibility and decision-making, remediation still depends heavily on manual ownership, coordination, and inconsistent processes. To truly improve vulnerability remediation outcomes, AI needs to extend into the execution layer, helping identify owners, define remediation plans, and deliver fix-ready work that turns decisions into action.

EPSS Score Is Predictive, but Late: What 18% of CISA KEV Vulnerabilities Reveal
EPSS: Early warning or not? EPSS is a predictive scoring model, and security teams assume it is an early warning signal. Nucleus research across 18% of CISA KEV-listed CVEs over 6 months found it isn’t.
The Best AI Rollout Is the One Nobody Noticed
Most internal AI initiatives fail the same way: someone builds a thing, sends a Slack announcement, runs a lunch-and-learn, and three months later the thing has two active users. The failure mode isn't the AI. It's the ask. Every new surface is a decision engineers have to make: remember to open it, remember to use it, remember to trust it. Seal's approach for our own R&D team was to eliminate the ask entirely. The AI goes where our engineers already are, at the moment they need it.
Is Your LLM at Risk? Explaining Prompt Injection Attacks
In early 2023, Stanford University student Kevin Liu persuaded Microsoft’s Bing Chat to reveal the hidden system prompt shaping its behavior.

When Defense becomes Dialogue: The Problem with LLM Security
For about thirty years, security has rested on the assumption that the measures guarding your systems do not have opinions. A firewall does not care how politely you ask it to open a port. An SQL filter does not weigh the context of a query before deciding whether to pass it through. An authentication check does not get distracted or talked round. You either present the right credential or you do not, and the answer is the same every time you ask.

This blog explains how to bridge the “triage gap” by using Seemplicity to transform free-form bug bounty data into a structured remediation workflow.
Scaling Exposure Management: From Manual Patching to AI-Powered Remediation
Is your security team drowning in a "WTF" moment? When vulnerability scanners return 45,000+ critical findings, manual workflows simply can't keep up. In this session, Megan Horner (Director of Product Marketing at Seemplicity) explores why traditional vulnerability management is failing in the age of AI-driven attacks. What you’ll learn: Stop treating remediation as a manual chore and start building an automated pipeline.
Turning Bug Bounty Chaos into Structured Action
For many security teams, bug bounty programs are a double-edged sword: they provide critical insights automated tools miss, but they also introduce a massive operational burden due to free-form, unstructured, and noisy data. In this video, Kevin Swan, Sr Product Marketing Manager at Seemplicity, demonstrates how Seemplicity's Exposure Action Platform bridges the Triage Gap by transforming unstructured HackerOne findings into clear, trackable fixes. Learn how to move findings from a third-party platform into a remediation workflow without slowing down your engineering teams.
Zero-Day Attacks and How to Protect Your Systems from Them
Zero-day attacks are one of the most serious threats in cybersecurity. They target unknown software weaknesses and can cause damage before anyone is aware of the issue. It is important to understand how these attacks work to better protect systems and data. A Zero-day attack exploits a software vulnerability that is unknown to the developer but already known to attackers. The attacker tries to exploit the vulnerability before the concerned team can identify and apply a patch to fix it.

Keep an eye out, breaches leave patterns
Most major security breaches in the last five years had one thing in common. Not just unpatched vulnerabilities, but a decision someone made to live with it. A VPN credential that never got rotated, an admin account that outlasted the employee who owned it, or a privilege elevation request approved because it was easier than asking questions. The details change, but the pattern doesn't. This isn't a story about sophisticated attackers. It's a story about blind spots, misplaced trust, and what happens when organizations mistake the absence of an incident for the presence of security.
How Keeper Forcefield Protects Against Microsoft Edge's Password Vulnerability
New research shows Microsoft Edge loads all saved passwords into memory in plain text, and Keeper Forcefield is built to protect against exactly this kind of vulnerability. A security researcher recently published a working tool called EdgeSavedPasswordsDumper that extracts credentials stored in Edge directly from the browser’s parent process memory. There is no exploit needed, just sufficient system privileges.
"Copy Fail" Vulnerability (CVE-2026-31431): Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation
CVE-2026-31431— the “Copy Fail” vulnerability—is a critical local privilege escalation (LPE) flaw in the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem that allows unprivileged users to gain root access with near-perfect reliability. Boasting a CVSS score of 7.8 and affecting nearly every mainstream distribution since 2017 (including Ubuntu, RHEL, and Amazon Linux), Copy Fail has been added to the CISA KEV catalog due to its active exploitation and portable, low-footprint nature.
GPT-5.5 vs Claude Opus 4.7: I Made Both Build an App - Here's What Happened
GPT-5.5 vs Claude Opus 4.7 - two flagship AI models dropped one week apart, and both claim to be the best at agentic coding. We put that to the test by giving each model the exact same prompt: build a production-ready, secure note-taking application from scratch. But we didn't stop at reviewing the code. We actually tried to break it by running real security tests against each app to see whether AI-generated code can be trusted with user data. The results were not what we expected.
Vulnerability Brokers Are Making MILLIONS Off Your Code #zeroday #darkweb
Not every undisclosed bug is undiscovered; some are quietly sold through brokers to whoever pays the most. Governments, criminal groups and private buyers all compete in a shadow market where valuable software flaws become products long before the public ever hears about them.
Emerging Threat: (CVE-2026-41940) cPanel & WHM Authentication Bypass via CRLF Injection
CVE-2026-41940 is a pre-authentication remote authentication bypass in cPanel and WHM caused by a CRLF (Carriage Return Line Feed) injection in the login and session handling logic. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject raw \r\n characters into a malicious basic authorization header, which cpsrvd then writes into a session file without sanitization.
Threat Brief: CVE-2026-41940: Critical cPanel & WHM Authentication Bypass Actively Exploited in the Wild
CVE-2026-41940 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in cPanel & WHM, including DNSOnly, and WP Squared. The issue affects cPanel software versions after 11.40 and can allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to exposed hosting control panels. cPanel released patched versions and published official remediation and detection guidance.

Proof-of-concept exploit available for Linux 'Copy Fail' vulnerability (CVE-2026-31431)
On April 29, 2026, details about the ‘Copy Fail’ vulnerability (CVE-2026-31431) were publicly disclosed. This high-severity (CVSS score of 7.8) privilege escalation vulnerability impacts Linux distributions shipped since 2017. It allows an unprivileged local user to obtain root-level access on affected Linux systems by corrupting the kernel’s in-memory page cache of a privileged binary.
cPanel and WHM Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2026-41940)
In late April 2026, a critical authentication bypass vulnerability was disclosed in cPanel and WHM, tracked as CVE-2026-41940. The issue affects the login flow of these widely deployed hosting control panels and allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to gain administrative access. Given the prevalence of cPanel across shared and dedicated hosting environments, the vulnerability represents a significant management plane risk.
AI finds the vulnerabilities, but exploiting them is a different problem.
AI finds the vulnerabilities, but exploiting them is a different problem. How Sophos Endpoint defends in the AI era, and what the public record on Mythos shows. When Mozilla shipped Firefox 150 with fixes for 271 issues identified by Anthropic’s Mythos model, the headlines focused on the count. The detail that mattered was further down: Mozilla credited only three CVEs to the model. The remaining 268 were classified as defense-in-depth, hardening, or bugs in code paths that could not be exploited.
AI just became the world's most dangerous exploit writer. Here's why Sophos Endpoint is built to stop it.

CVE-2026-42208: Pre-Authentication SQL Injection in LiteLLM Exposes API Credentials
A critical vulnerability in LiteLLM is turning AI infrastructure into an open vault; no login required. Tracked as CVE-2026-42208, this vulnerability allows attackers to extract API keys, cloud credentials, and provider authentication tokens without any credentials or prior access to the system. The root cause is fundamental lapse in input handling. LiteLLM’s API key validation blindly injects the Bearer token from the Authorization header into a SQL query without sanitization.
