CISA Adds Two Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog
CISA adds two actively exploited vulnerabilities to its KEV Catalog.
CISA has added two new vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-65660 and CVE-2026-67279, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog due to evidence of active exploitation. These vulnerabilities, affecting Microsoft SharePoint and Mikrotik RouterOS respectively, are considered high-risk for federal agencies under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04. The directive mandates prioritized remediation of KEV-listed vulnerabilities on publicly exposed assets.

The lesson from this incident
Full lessonCISA's addition of CVE-2026-65660 (Microsoft SharePoint) and CVE-2026-67279 (MikroTik RouterOS) to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog confirms that threat actors are actively leveraging these flaws in the wild. The root cause is a failure to apply timely patches to internet-facing systems, leaving critical infrastructure exposed to known, documented attack vectors. Federal agencies are legally bound under BOD 26-04 to remediate KEV-listed vulnerabilities on a mandated timeline, but the real risk extends to any organization running these products. Delayed patching of publicly exposed assets — especially network appliances and collaboration platforms — dramatically increases the attack surface and likelihood of compromise. This incident underscores that vulnerability management must be treated as a continuous, prioritized process rather than a periodic task.
What helps against this
How we list vendors- Vulnerability scanning and prioritisation
You know which systems are vulnerable, and which ones to fix first.
- Automated patch management
Known holes get closed in days, not months.
- Cyber asset inventory
You cannot patch, monitor or protect the devices, cloud resources and accounts you do not know you have.
