66,000 CVEs: The Year Enumeration Stopped Being a Strategy
2026 is forecast to close near 66,000 CVEs, driven partly by AI-assisted discovery. At that volume reading the list is not a job anyone can do — and most programmes are still built around reading it.
AI Writes Code Faster Than You Can Review It. Which Scanner Do You Point at It?
AI-generated code arrives faster than review can absorb and fails in distinct patterns. SAST, DAST, and reachability each catch part of that — and each misses a specific, predictable slice.
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities explained
Buffer overflows still make MITRE's CWE Top 25 every year. Here's how they corrupt memory, real CVEs like EternalBlue and Baron Samedit, and how to stop them.
Use-after-free vulnerabilities explained
Use-after-free bugs (CWE-416) power some of the worst zero-day exploit chains in browsers and kernels. Here's how they work and what stops them.
SSRF via webhooks explained
Webhook SSRF turns a trusted callback feature into an internal network foothold. Here is how the attack works, real incidents, and how to actually fix it.
Java deserialization gadget chains explained
Java deserialization gadget chains turn trusted classpath libraries into RCE. Learn how they work, key CVEs like CVE-2015-4852, and how to detect them.
npm prototype pollution trends report 2025
Safeguard's 2025 analysis of npm prototype pollution advisories reveals rising volume, deeper transitive exposure, and why reachability—not CVSS alone—now separates real risk from noise.
Most vulnerable npm packages of the year
Safeguard's 2026 mid-year analysis of the npm registry breaks down the packages driving the most risk and why the same names keep coming back.
Go vulnerability database (govulncheck) trend report
Go's vulnerability database is scaling fast and stdlib CVEs are clustering. Here's what govulncheck vulnerability trends reveal about reachability, typosquats, and risk.
Top vulnerable base images on Docker Hub
A look at why Docker Hub's most-pulled base images still ship hundreds of known CVEs, and how reachability analysis cuts the noise down to what's actually exploitable.
Distroless image security trend report
Distroless adoption is up nearly 3x since 2024, but Safeguard's 2026 scan data shows SBOM gaps, missed dependencies, and inflated CVE lists still undermine the hardening it promises.
Most vulnerable .NET libraries report
Safeguard's H1 2026 analysis of 41,000+ .NET repos reveals a small cluster of NuGet packages driving nearly half of all vulnerability findings—and most aren't even reachable.
