## The brief

Google Threat Intelligence Group reports that monthly vulnerability disclosures more than doubled between January and August 2026, while observed exploitation also rose. It cautions that disclosure totals can be inflated by assignment practices and that only a small fraction of disclosed flaws were observed exploited. The report recommends prioritizing exposed, high-risk systems using threat intelligence instead of treating every new CVE as equally urgent.
