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. Potential KEV additions must have a CVE ID, evidence of exploitation, and clear mitigation guidance.","CISA has added two new vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-96951 (Microsoft Windows Command Injection) and CVE-2026-104935 (Ivanti Connect Secure Authentication Bypass), to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog due to evidence of active exploitation. These vulnerabilities are frequently used by threat actors and pose significant risks, particularly to federal agencies. The addition reinforces the requirements of Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04, which mandates federal agencies to prioritize the remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities on publicly exposed assets.","CISA adds two actively exploited vulnerabilities to its KEV Catalog.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cisa.gov\u002Fnews-events\u002Falerts\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F13\u002Fcisa-adds-two-known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog",null,"2026-10-13T12:00:00+00:00","2026-10-13T22:00:15.688331+00:00",8,[17,20,22,25,27,30],{"name":18,"type":19},"Windows","product",{"name":21,"type":19},"Connect Secure",{"name":23,"type":24},"Microsoft","vendor",{"name":26,"type":24},"Ivanti",{"name":28,"type":29},"Command Injection","technology",{"name":31,"type":29},"Authentication Bypass","80544778-fabb-4dcd-aa35-17492e5dcf4f",{"id":32,"icon":12,"name":34,"slug":35},"Vulnerabilities","vulnerabilities",[37,42,47,49],{"category":38},{"id":39,"icon":12,"name":40,"slug":41},"217d3263-c763-41ca-875e-06901f522fe0","NIST","nist",{"category":43},{"id":44,"icon":12,"name":45,"slug":46},"6cbdd207-aaa1-4176-9534-e156b125e917","Nation-state","nation-state",{"category":48},{"id":32,"icon":12,"name":34,"slug":35},{"category":50},{"id":51,"icon":12,"name":52,"slug":53},"e7b231c8-5f79-4465-8d38-1ef13aea5a14","Threat Intelligence","threat-intelligence",[55,59],{"type":56,"value":57,"context":58},"cve","CVE-2026-96951","Microsoft Windows Command Injection Vulnerability",{"type":56,"value":60,"context":61},"CVE-2026-104935","Ivanti Connect Secure Authentication Bypass by Spoofing Vulnerability",[23,26,18],{"controls":64,"vendors":150},[65,94,122],{"slug":66,"name":67,"problem":68,"products":69},"vulnerability-management","Vulnerability scanning and prioritisation","You know which systems are vulnerable, and which ones to fix first.",[70,78,86],{"vendor_slug":71,"vendor_name":72,"vendor_logo":73,"product_slug":74,"product_name":75,"url":76,"description":77},"holm-security","Holm Security","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fholm-security.png","holm-security-platform","Holm Security Platform","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.holmsecurity.com\u002F","Vulnerability scanning of systems, web applications, cloud and the external attack surface, plus phishing simulation.",{"vendor_slug":79,"vendor_name":80,"vendor_logo":81,"product_slug":82,"product_name":83,"url":84,"description":85},"rapid7","Rapid7","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Frapid7.png","insightvm","Rapid7 Exposure Command (InsightVM)","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.rapid7.com\u002Fproducts\u002Finsightvm\u002F","Vulnerability scanning and risk-based prioritisation;
