"If I jumped out of a plane and you threw me a parachute, I would have a better chance of nabbing that parachute than of exploiting this vulnerability." - Quote from the team exploit mines 2026-11-05T16:51:00Z I'll give ya two guesses on the vuln, but you'll only need one 🙄

"Your industrial IoT gateway isn't exposed to the internet, right? RIGHT?!" Our Canaries caught exploitation of CVE-2026-58115, a max-severity missing auth bug in Node-RED, which is commonly used in ICS and OT environments. On-point lede from @ElReg: theregister.com/security/202…

Neither of these has been observed in the wild yet, but we expect it's only a matter of time. There are tens of thousands of instances of each of these products exposed to the public internet, and both have been targeted before.
Initial Access Community Monday release! Two new exploits: CVE-2026-92122, a Jenkins Groovy sandbox escape, and CVE-2026-8857, a MediaWiki command injection. Both include Docker labs, PCAPs, detection rules, and ASM queries. github.com/vulncheck-oss/ini…

AI is making vulnerabilities easier to find. Who’s going to fix them? VulnCheck’s Josh Bressers joined @CyberScoop’s Safe Mode podcast to discuss AI-generated reports, the pressure on open-source maintainers and the human work behind fixes. Listen: cyberscoop.com/radio/how-vul…

One thing we do well at @VulnCheckAI is develop exploits and associated detections. We’ve wanted to share more of this work with the security community for a long time, and we’re finally making it happen. New exploits every Monday. Pull requests welcome! github.com/vulncheck-oss/ini…

I had a minute over the weekend to look at dropped binaries in Canary Intelligence. There were a bunch of neat ones, but I picked just one to write up. An attacker originating from Japan went after one of our canaries affected by CVE-2026-42589. vulncheck.com/blog/cache-me-…
