700Credit, a US-based credit check and compliance provider, disclosed in late October that it had suffered a significant data breach affecting nearly 18,000 dealerships and more than 5.6 million consumers. According to the company’s disclosure and subsequent reporting, the exposed data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers.

A newly disclosed denial-of-service vulnerability, CVE-2025-66675, affects a wide range of Apache Struts 2 versions and poses a serious availability risk for applications that handle file uploads. While the EPSS score is 0.05%, indicating a low probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, the vulnerability still represents a high availability risk for exposed and unpatched environments.

Application Security, WAF, and OWASP form an interconnected defense strategy for web applications. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) provides the framework for identifying critical vulnerabilities through resources like the OWASP Top 10, while WAFs act as the protective layer that detects and blocks attacks targeting these vulnerabilities in real-time.

From intelligent chatbots to autonomous agents, innovation has never moved faster thanks to GenAI. But with the rate of velocity comes a massive new challenge: a class of complex, non-deterministic security risks that traditional cybersecurity methods are simply not equipped to handle. AI-native applications are already running in production. Across industries, teams are deploying copilots, RAG systems, autonomous agents, and AI-powered workflows faster than traditional security processes can keep up.

Earlier this year, FedRAMP RFC-0012 signaled a coming shift in how cloud service providers (CSPs) working with the U.S. federal government are expected to handle vulnerabilities. It outlined plans to move FedRAMP away from simple CVSS-score thresholds and toward continuous, context-aware, exploitability-driven, and automation-first vulnerability management.
