This One Goes to Sixteen! Another banger from Metasploit with sixteen new modules, including ten exploit modules, with five on the CISA KEV list. Cisco, Papercut, Sonicwall, Jetbrains, and Langflow all have exploit modules, and not to be outdone, we even have a Metasploit scanner to watch the watchers! The significance for defenders depends on whether the organizations, technologies or attack path described in the reporting overlap with their own environment. Compare the research assumptions with your own technology and threat model.
