CISA Urges Patching Newly Exploited Vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure

CISA is aware of Ivanti’s disclosure of a newly exploited vulnerability, CVE-2026-104935, affecting Ivanti Connect Secure versions 25.1.1.1 and prior, 25.1.2.2 and prior, and 22.8R2.4 and prior. CISA is aware of cyber threat actors exploiting this zero-day authentication bypass vulnerability, which allows remote, unauthenticated execution of arbitrary commands, to conduct credential theft and data exfiltration. CISA added CVE-2026-104935 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog on Oct. 13, 2026.  CISA urges organizations with affected Ivanti Connect Secure appliances and deployments to immediately update to the latest version, as outlined in Ivanti’s Security Advisory Ivanti Connect Secure (CVE-2026-104935). Organizations should also review the Ivanti Connect Secure 25.x Upgrade and Migration Compatibility Guide for detailed patching guidance for hardware and virtual appliance deployments. Ivanti Connect Secure version 22.8 reaches end of life on Jan. 31, 2027.   Organizations seeking to determine whether they were compromised will need to conduct network and memory forensics to identify evidence of exploitation. Note: Ivanti’s Integrity Checker Tool may not detect evidence of exploitation of CVE-2026-104935 because threat actor commands execute in memory.   If your organization suspects a compromise, CISA recommends implementing the following actions from Ivanti Connect Secure Recovery Procedures:  Create a backup of the appliance configuration. Review Ivanti’s How to Backup & Restore the Binary Configuration Using Archiving Server for more information.

CISA Adds Two Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog

CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2026-96951 Microsoft Windows Command Injection Vulnerability CVE-2026-104935 Ivanti Connect Secure Authentication Bypass by Spoofing Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.  Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04: Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk establishes vulnerability management requirements for Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies. BOD 26-04 reinforces the importance of the KEV Catalog and requires federal agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of high-risk vulnerabilities, specifically those identified by Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) listed in CISA’s KEV Catalog on publicly exposed assets that grant total control of the asset post-exploitation, while deferring action for lower-risk vulnerabilities. BOD 26-04 further establishes basic expectations for when agencies must check whether threat actors compromised the system before the patch was applied.  While BOD 26-04 applies only to FCEB agencies, CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management and prioritize remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.  Aware of an exploited vulnerability not currently listed in the KEV Catalog? Submit it for potential addition through CISA’s KEV Nomination Form. Pot

Be a good AI ancestor: Cybersecurity already gave us the playbook

AI has brought us to a familiar inflection point in the story of privacy, cybersecurity, and online safety. We have an opportunity to apply decades of cybersecurity experience before the next generation of technology creates consequences we cannot easily reverse. I learned the importance of that responsibility through a three-year-old child I’ll call Adia. Her name is a protective pseudonym. Adia appeared in an image of child sexual exploitation uploaded to the internet.
