A TantoSec proof-of-concept turns an AES-CBC "padding oracle" in Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX into unauthenticated remote code execution — but only against applications in a specific non-default configuration, and Progress patched the chain in July. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation in the wild. Security firm TantoSec has published a working exploit chain targeting vulnerabilities

Cássio De Alcântara is Director, LATAM Sales at Rapid7. Across Latin America, organizations are embracing cloud, AI, and digital transformation to drive innovation and business growth. These technologies create new opportunities, but also introduce greater complexity and expanding attack surfaces. In this environment, security leaders are being asked to understand where risk exists across increasingly distributed environments and quickly eliminate blind spots like Shadow IT and Shadow AI – all without adding operational complexity. To help security leaders and practitioners address this complexity, Rapid7 is excited to announce a new strategic distribution partnership with Licencias OnLine (LOL) across Latin America. Helping organizations stay ahead of evolving threats In order to keep day-to-day business operations moving, organizations need security solutions that not only protect critical assets but also support innovation, regulatory compliance, and long-term digital transformation. Rapid7's AI-powered cybersecurity operations platform helps organizations strengthen cyber resilience by unifying continuous exposure management, AI-driven threat detection and response, and securit

You can’t patch everything. So what do you fix first? Findings in Q2 2026 have changed traditional answers. The latest Quarterly Threat Landscape Report from Rapid7 Labs shows vulnerability disclosures still surging while attackers use automation and AI-assisted tooling to compress the time between disclosure and exploitation. The gap that patch cycles were built to fill is closing. Speed and volume are overwhelming security teams that have relied on traditional patch cycles and reactive programs. Success going forward can’t be about patching as much as possible - it has to be about understanding what matters most and reducing the exposures attackers can actually reach. Here are the four trends that defined Q2 2026, and what they mean for your security program as you define priorities for Q3 and beyond: The volume of disclosures hit another milestone There were 8,539 new high- and critical-severity CVEs (CVSS 7.0–10.0) this quarter- double the number reported in the same quarter last year (4,268). Meanwhile, the number of newly exploited vulnerabilities held roughly steady (40). The takeaway isn’t that exploitation exploded - it’s that disclosure volume is far outstripping what any
