Project Glasswing found a 27-year-old zero-day in OpenBSD. Autonomously.
The finding problem just got solved. The remediation problem just got harder.
Industry average MTTR for a critical CVE: 60+ days. More CVEs, same infrastructure. Do the math.

Securing the container was never the whole answer. The application dependencies inside it were always the risk.
In 2026, that gap has a name and a price tag.

The axios attack highlights a gap that scanners alone can't bridge. When a hijacked credential pushes a RAT to a registry, the code has no provenance and no history. We need to pair our detection with immutable, built-from-source open source software to stay ahead.
