Analysis by Tyler Reguly, Associate Director of Security R&D at Fortra, is featured in Quasa’s coverage of Oracle’s August 2026 Critical Security Patch Update. His findings show that the 943 patches address 925 unique CVEs. The article explains why organizations should look beyond patch counts and prioritize remediation based on their systems, exposure, dependencies, and support status.
“The total number does not equate to 943 identical risks for each organization. Fortra's analysis counts 925 unique CVEs, 451 of which are remotely exploitable without authentication, 151 with a CVSS score of 9.0 or higher and a maximum score of 10.0; the true priority should be determined by cross-referencing this data with the inventory, network exposure, dependencies, and support status.”
