What happened
Tenable highlights a broad, high-risk landscape: rapid AI adoption has expanded the attack surface by connecting models to sensitive workflows and cloud data, creating governance gaps (over-privileged access, ghost identities, supply-chain risk) that require unified exposure management rather than siloed inventory. Notable technical incidents include CVE-2026-21992 (Oracle Identity Manager / Web Services Manager RCE, CVSS 9.8, out-of-band alert and related to prior in-the-wild exploitation) and CVE-2026-21514 (Microsoft Word OLE/Mark-of-the-Web bypass N-day, ~14 million exposed assets across 7
