We are grateful to the research team at Atredis for sharing their findings around a vulnerability (CVE-2026-1814) impacting our vulnerability management offerings (InsightVM and Nexpose). We have identified a fix that addresses this vulnerability and will be delivered via a Security Console product update with no customer action required. The update is currently being released through our normal gradual release cycle and will be rolled out to all customers by end of day Thursday, February 12.
InsightVM or Nexpose customers with automatic product updates enabled will receive and process this update when it is released. Customers who manually control their own update version can utilize the manual update process within the security console to update to version 8.36.0 when it is made available. We recommend those customers schedule this update as soon as reasonably possible.
As outlined in our policies around vulnerabilities and disclosures, Rapid7 practices and advocates for timely public disclosure of vulnerabilities across both third-party products and our own systems and solutions. This thoughtful collaboration between researchers and vendors is a critical component of a healthy cybersecurity ecosystem. Atredis exemplified how the process should work.
