Archived Security Snapshot

Critical vulnerabilities, curated daily for security professionals

Archived Security Brief

Friday shows moderating disclosure trends as the week closes: 24 critical CVEs (down 4% from Thursday's 25) and 85 high-priority vulnerabilities (down 22% from 109). In total, 364 CVEs were recorded (down 1% versus Thursday). Current patch availability is 22% (up 3 percentage points from Thursday's 19%). CISA maintains 14 KEV vulnerabilities (unchanged from Thursday). With approximately 78% of critical items currently without vendor patches, teams should maintain focus on monitoring and compensating controls heading into the weekend.

  • 24 critical CVEs (-4% decrease from Thursday)
  • 85 high-priority CVEs (-22% decrease)
  • 364 total CVEs (-1% decrease from Thursday)
  • 22% patch availability (+3 points from Thursday)
  • 14 CISA KEV vulnerabilities (unchanged from Thursday)
  • Approximately 78% of critical vulnerabilities currently lack vendor patches

Immediate action: Recommended actions: Prioritize review of the 24 critical CVEs and the 14 CISA KEV items. For issues without patches, continue applying temporary mitigations (network segmentation, access control hardening, enhanced monitoring). Ensure weekend coverage for critical systems and maintain vendor communication channels for patch timeline updates.

How to read this brief

CVSS score (e.g. 9.1) — severity from 0–10. Red marks critical (9+), orange high (7–8.9).

Exploitability — how hard the flaw is to attack, read from the CVSS vector:

  • Network / Adjacent / Local / Physical — how close an attacker must get. Network means reachable over the internet.
  • No / Low / High privileges — the access they need first. No privileges means no login required.
  • No interaction / User interaction — whether a victim has to do something (open a file, click a link). No interaction means fully automatable.

The lower the bar on all three, the easier to exploit at scale — “Network · No privileges · No interaction” is the worst case: hit from anywhere, no credentials, no victim action.

Actively exploited — confirmed under attack in the wild (CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog). Prioritize these regardless of score.

EPSS · Nth percentile — FIRST.org’s estimated chance a flaw is exploited within 30 days. We flag it only in the top 10% — a statistical signal it’s unusually likely to be targeted, separate from whether attacks are confirmed.
