Summary

CISA has added seven new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on evidence of active exploitation. The CVEs affect Microsoft, Adobe, and Fortinet products. Binding Operational Directive 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to remediate these vulnerabilities by specified due dates. CISA strongly urges all organizations to prioritize timely remediation of these vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice.

What changed

CISA has added seven new CVEs to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, including vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Windows, Fortinet, and Adobe Acrobat and Reader. These vulnerabilities are flagged as frequent attack vectors with evidence of active exploitation.\n\nFederal Civilian Executive Branch agencies are subject to Binding Operational Directive 22-01, which mandates remediation of identified KEV vulnerabilities within specified timeframes. While BOD 22-01 technically applies only to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly recommends that all organizations—including private sector entities—incorporate KEV remediation into their vulnerability management programs to reduce exposure to cyberattacks.

What to do next

  1. FCEB agencies: remediate vulnerabilities according to BOD 22-01 deadlines
  2. All organizations: prioritize timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities

CISA Adds Seven Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog

Release Date

April 13, 2026

CISA has added seven new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

  • CVE-2012-1854 Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability
  • CVE-2020-9715 Adobe Acrobat Use-After-Free Vulnerability
  • CVE-2023-21529 Microsoft Exchange Server Deserialization of Untrusted Data Vulnerability
  • CVE-2023-36424 Microsoft Windows Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability
  • CVE-2025-60710 Microsoft Windows Link Following Vulnerability
  • CVE-2026-21643 Fortinet SQL Injection Vulnerability
  • CVE-2026-34621 Adobe Acrobat and Reader Prototype Pollution Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.

Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.

Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
