Racing Against Time: How APT40 is Redefining the Urgency of Vulnerability Patching

The timescale to patch known vulnerabilities is narrowing rapidly. Chinese threat group APT40 is quickly weaponizing proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits of n-day vulnerabilities, forcing defenders to act faster than ever.

With advances in AI and large language models (LLMs), integrating vuln PoCs into attackers’ toolsets has become easier. Coupled with delays at the NVD, the pressure on defenders is intensifying.

Stay vigilant and proactive defenders, protect your systems!
