Archived Security Snapshot

Critical vulnerabilities, curated daily for security professionals

Archived Security Brief

Yesterday's vulnerability disclosures included 37 critical-severity CVEs, a 147% increase from the prior day's 15 critical issues. High-priority vulnerabilities saw substantial growth with 100 CVEs in the CVSS 7.0-8.9 range, up 355% from 22. Five actively exploited vulnerabilities were added to the KEV catalog, including CVE-2025-14847 affecting MongoDB, CVE-2026-20805 targeting Microsoft Windows, and CVE-2025-37164 impacting HPE OneView. Notable critical disclosures include CVE-2026-0881 (CVSS 10.0), a sandbox escape in the Messaging System, CVE-2025-14301 affecting the Opvius AI WooCommerce plugin, and CVE-2025-14502 impacting the News and Blog Designer Bundle WordPress plugin. Patch availability currently stands at 0%, requiring organizations to implement compensating controls and monitor for vendor updates.

  • 37 critical CVEs disclosed (CVSS 9.0+), up 147% from prior day's 15
  • 100 high-priority CVEs (CVSS 7.0-8.9), representing a 355% increase
  • 5 actively exploited vulnerabilities including MongoDB, Microsoft Windows, and HPE OneView
  • 0% patch availability requires compensating controls and vendor monitoring
  • WordPress plugins, VIAVIWEB applications, and enterprise systems among affected products

Immediate action: Organizations using MongoDB, Microsoft Windows, HPE OneView, Gogs, and WordPress plugins should prioritize assessment of exposure to actively exploited vulnerabilities. With no patches currently available for disclosed issues, implement network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, and access restrictions while tracking vendor security advisories.

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.
