CISA Adds Three Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added three new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, which are being actively exploited by malicious cyber actors. The vulnerabilities include two Apple product vulnerabilities and one Microsoft Windows vulnerability. These types of vulnerabilities are common attack vectors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. The Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog was established by Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01 to reduce the risk of known vulnerabilities to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against active threats. Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to prioritize timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria. The Catalog is a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. Federal agencies are required to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks. CISA's goal is to reduce the risk of cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities.
