Collection of Rapid7 blog posts (June–July 2026) covering: misconceptions about AI in SOCs and how AI augments (not replaces) analysts; calls to modernize vulnerability disclosure/standards because AI is accelerating automated vulnerability discovery and exploitation; and multiple Metasploit weekly updates that add new exploit and scanner modules. Notable technical items include an unauthenticated Paperclip AI remote code execution chain (CVE-2026-41679), an Audiobookshelf unauthenticated API authentication bypass (CVE-2025-25205), new scanners/exploits for LiteLLM, Next.js middleware auth-byp
