Introducing Patch the Planet
Trail of Bits and OpenAI launched "Patch the Planet," a landmark initiative pairing AI frontier models like GPT-5.5-Cyber with expert security engineers to systematically harden critical open-source projects, delivering 64 pull requests and 51 issues across 19 key projects in just the first week. Unlike typical AI-generated bug floods, the program goes beyond finding vulnerabilities—providing triage, patches, and long-term infrastructure improvements, with 37 patches already merged into projects like Python, RustCrypto, cURL, and PyPI. The initiative signals a fundamental shift in security work: as AI makes bug discovery trivial, the real value now lies in confirmation

CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog
CISA has added CVE-2026-21962, an improper access control vulnerability affecting Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Weblogic Server Proxy Plug-in, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog based on confirmed active exploitation. The vulnerability poses significant risk as it allows total asset compromise post-exploitation, and CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-04 requires federal agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of such high-risk KEV Catalog entries on publicly exposed systems. CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management practices and prioritize remediation of cataloged exploited vulnerabilities.
