8,539 Reasons To Rethink How Vulnerabilities Get Patched

Rapid7 counted 8,539 high and critical CVEs in Q2 2026, double last year, with PoC availability up 76%.

Rapid7's Q2 2026 Threat Landscape Report tallied 8,539 high- and critical-severity vulnerability disclosures, twice the number recorded in Q2 2025, with newly disclosed flaws having public proof-of-concept code up 76% year over year. Of newly exploited vulnerabilities, 62% were network-exploitable and required neither authentication nor user interaction. Fake CAPTCHA and ClickFix social engineering accounted for 31.8% of incident response cases, the United States recorded 881 listed ransomware victims, and APT28 exploited SOHO routers for DNS hijacking while Iranian groups targeted US industrial control and OT systems.

New Report: AI threats are here. Why Q2 2026 signals the end of traditional patch cycles

Rapid7 Labs' Q2 2026 threat report finds vulnerability disclosures surging while AI-assisted attackers compress the time from disclosure to exploitation.

Rapid7 Labs' Quarterly Threat Landscape Report for Q2 2026 reports continued growth in vulnerability disclosures alongside attacker use of automation and AI-assisted tooling. The report argues the window between disclosure and exploitation is shrinking, eroding the value of traditional patch cycles. It recommends prioritizing exposures attackers can actually reach rather than attempting to patch everything.
