Where the month points

Remote access gateways, firewalls, email gateways and remote support tools account for 7 of the 12 selected entries. Each sits on the internet by design and is often outside the patch tooling that covers laptops and servers.

PHP2Shell, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, has an advisory of its own.

  • Match each entry against the internet-facing inventory
  • Patch perimeter and remote access devices first
  • Check each patched device for access that predates the fix
