In our first article exploring vulnerability management vs. exposure management, we explored the growing recognition that exposure management is not just a rebranding of vulnerability management. Rather, it’s a strategic evolution. Where traditional vulnerability management often focuses narrowly on CVEs and technical severity, exposure management demands a broader, more integrated understanding of risk across assets, environments, and attack vectors.

On June 25, 2025, Cisco disclosed two critical vulnerabilities affecting Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC). Tracked as CVE-2025-20281 and CVE-2025-20282, these flaws enable unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the root user via exposed HTTPS APIs. CVE-2025-20281 arises from insufficient validation of user-supplied input in a public API, allowing crafted requests to trigger remote code execution.

At CyberArk, the trust and security of our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Today, July 15th, we are addressing the publication of several Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) related to CyberArk Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted (formerly Conjur Enterprise) and Conjur Open Source (OSS). We regret the challenges this situation may pose to our customers and reaffirm our commitment to supporting them through the resolution process.

Today we’re releasing findings from a statistical sample of over 2 million internet-exposed assets, across on-prem, cloud, APIs, and web apps, discovered and analyzed by the CyCognito platform.

Social media can work both for and against an organization, so it’s worth treating these sites as extensions of your attack surface. CompassDRP’s Social Media integration continuously monitors both corporate and employee profiles across platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. It automatically flags unauthorized or impersonating accounts that mimic executive identities or misuse company branding, helping to thwart phishing and fraud campaigns before they gain traction.

Years ago, we published the blog post, “Why do organizations trust Snyk to win the open source security battle?” which laid out the methodology and practices for building the Snyk Vulnerability Database.

Arctic Wolf Customer, Proof-of-concept exploit code is now available for a high-severity arbitrary file write vulnerability in Git, which poses a risk to developers who regularly work with third-party code. If Git is used in your environment, we recommend reviewing this security bulletin and taking immediate steps to mitigate the risk.
