Organizations winning the security talent war operationalize key questions to prevent knowledge loss and enhance cybersecurity resilience.
CrowdStrike published an advisory for CVE-2026-40050, a critical unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability affecting its LogScale product. The flaw can allow a remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem.
A Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) that cannot reach the privilege plane is operationally ineffective - even at a CVSS Score of 10. This should be a core philosophy that is embedded into the fabric of software engineering.
Fortinet has begun releasing security updates to address a critical flaw impacting FortiOS that has come under active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability, assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2026-24858 (CVSS score: 9.4), has been described as an authentication bypass related to FortiOS single sign-on (SSO). The flaw also affects FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. The company said it's continuing to investigate if other products, including FortiWeb and FortiSwitch Manager, are impacted by the flaw.
Those hoping for a reprieve following last week's patch pantomime are out of luck. After users reported successful compromises of FortiCloud SSO accounts, despite being patched against an earlier flaw, the vendor confirmed there was an alternate attack path. According to a security advisory published Tuesday, that alternate path was assigned a separate vulnerability identifier (CVE-2026-24858, CVSS 9.4), and the company disabled FortiCloud SSO connections made from vulnerable versions.
