Temporary mitigations are recommended in the absence of immediate patches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CERT-In Mandates 12-Hour Patching for Internet-Facing Flaws Amid AI-Assisted Attacks https:\/\/thehackernews.com\/2026\/05\/cert-in-mandates-12-hour-patching-for.html Publish Date: 2026-05-26 05:13:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":220135,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg9yN2AliOVdy0oCCMNYXnnrLjE6yWRz_eXVGFhiIw9vxnia2BMUxqhMrI8Q23Y2hHcF-hjqbw4aIqJTvO4zDD1k_WlKzEqx_FZ7P45mn8RiQ1UEqNUgqXv4DqrkzyyjjjgjKcPnNjzKHTTX8NIelTf4L_Cbx4XyYK6piDr1oPFfSmtk-59NCbU3cGCQEcQ\/s1600\/indian-cert.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-220134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220134"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220134"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220136,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220134\/revisions\/220136"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
