LLM Misinformation: Security Risks of Hallucinated Outputs
LLM hallucinations aren't just AI trivia — they invent packages attackers squat on, fake CVEs, and false advisories that have already cost real companies real money.
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.
Best vulnerability management platforms
A practical comparison of leading vulnerability management platforms — Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, CrowdStrike, Wiz, and Microsoft — plus how Safeguard closes the supply-chain gap.
Best CVE tracking and monitoring tools
A field guide to CVE tracking tools -- from NVD and OSV.dev to Snyk, Tenable, and Qualys -- with honest pros, cons, and how Safeguard adds supply-chain context.
Overreliance on LLM Outputs: A Security Perspective
LLMs hallucinate packages, vulnerability verdicts, and compliance summaries with total confidence. Here's where overreliance on AI outputs creates real security risk—and how to close the gap.
Most vulnerable PHP frameworks report
A data-driven look at CVEs across Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, Yii2 & ThinkPHP reveals which PHP frameworks carry the most real-world exploitation risk.
Drupal module vulnerability trends
Contributed modules drive most Drupal risk today. Here's what the advisory trends show — and how reachability analysis changes triage.
Best VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) tools
A practical buyer's guide to VEX tools: what to evaluate, and an honest look at Dependency-Track, GUAC, OpenVEX, Grype, Trivy, and Interlynk.
Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerabilities (CWE-125) Explained
How out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities (CWE-125) leak memory instead of crashing programs, why Heartbleed and Cloudbleed happened, and how to catch them in your dependencies.

CVE-2021-45105 scored CVSS 5.9 and let a single crafted lookup string crash a JVM with a StackOverflowError — no RCE required, just uncontrolled recursion.
When CVSS Scoring Misleads Severity Context
Only 2-6% of published CVEs are ever exploited in the wild, yet a much larger share carry CVSS 7.0+ scores — a gap that quietly wrecks patch prioritization.
Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerabilities (CWE-787) Explained
CWE-787 out-of-bounds write bugs let attackers corrupt memory past a buffer's limit, causing crashes or code execution. Here's how they work.
